Oooh, and (on the sidebar) for $65.00 I can go hear Jonah offer forth his deepest thoughts.

See how I resisted making a fart joke?

Santelli is a fucking crybaby. K-Lo is welcome to him. Maybe they can head for the hills and start breeding their very own militia, like Lou Reed in “Beginning of a Great Adventure”.

What, no Kathryn Jean Wurzelbacher?

Joe the Plumber Reporter Political Consultant must be heart-broken.

Santelli is just whining the same old conservative propaganda.

Where was this fucker when Chimpy McFuckface was leading us into this mess?

one word: pfffbbbllltttt!!!!!

Someone who can offer a vision of something other than a culture of bailout.

Wow! That just completely ignores the fact that it was the administration cheered on by people like Unibrow and Santelli that made bailouts necessary. We need a U.S. Middle Class Memorial on the D.C. Mall to remind people of what actually happened.

K-Lo was watching the Santelli rant with her — inbox?

Right-wingers are getting weirder by the day.

I knew a huge portion of the Bear Stearn options traders in Phila. Seems Jimmy Cayne(ex-CEO), being a big time bridge player/bridge bum sponsor, thought that slacker/hustler/gamblers had the right stuff to be top notch traders. He was right. The horde supporting Santelli on the video are the ones that used to hustle retirees in gin games, card count until the got roughed up, game guys with money in high stakes bridge and/or backgammon. Thats Santelli’s cross section of America. He and his rabble disgust me.

Unfortunately, this is the world I hail from and Moondancer is dead on. I also love this meme about how Waters and Frank were “fighting” reform of Fannie and Freddie. Ummm…who was in charge again? I was an asset manager at a fund at the time this little squabble was going on (and we were “short” fannie and freddie, a little early) so I was very close to this, so let me clear up this meme of Republicans “fighting” for reform of Fannie and Freddie. They were doing it for one reason – lobbyists from the private mortgage industry were bitching that Fan and Fred were using an implicit promise of backing by the Fed to offer lower rates to price out private sector competitors (and have cheaper access to money).
Now, of course, what Fan and Fred were doing was shady at best and I have huge problems with them in many areas but I am speaking here to Repub self-righteousness. Their corporate backers weren’t concerned about fixing a flawed system, they were concerned that they weren’t able get their share at the trough. Sorry no “funny” here, but I get so angry when shitbags like Santelli start spouting off. I think it’s important that the few progressives like myself that were eye witnesses to the raping of our society speak up as often as possible when the fucking revisionists start this crap.

There, I feel much better. Perhaps I’ll go look at the doggies and relax.

Thanks Hatmandu, and moondancer as well, for insights from the inside of that world. This is why I love the internets, even with the trolls and wingnuts.

All you need to do is steal Jim Cramer’s Boo-yah!,* and we’ll have the alternative universe version of CNBC – i.e., honest financial reporting – without even having to subscribe to cable!

*It might be a whispered ‘yah-boo’ in the alternative universe; I’ll have to ponder this…

Heh. You said “box”. Huh-huh, huh uh uh uh, huh-huh.

(/beavis)

That’s all it takes to get K-Lo all excited and moist? Some douchebag calling out another douchebag?!? Damn, with her standards that low and getting lower by the day, I’m thinking maybe Jonah Goldberg’s got a chance of getting laid by the end of the year.

That will be a relief to his wife. The poor thing.

I just love that K-Lo put little starbursts in her Palin-Santelli poster.

“someone appearing to have roots”

Is she calling Bristol’s baby a rootless little bastard?

Who knew that K-Lo speaks Palinese?

I think people are hungry for someone who is fed up with the way things are and who seem to believe in something enough to know there in an alternative worth fighting for. Some of the voices may be far from perfect, but Americans are looking for signs of the life of an alternative. And so if a representative pops up — someone who appears to have roots and energy, folks will cheer them on in the hopes there’s a candidate here.

Maybe the Repubs are looking to elect a potted plant?

I think K-Lo is just projecting when she says she thinks people are hungry.

Dear, just walk down to the lounge and get a Snickers, for god’s sake and leave the fate of the planet and America to people who don’t have to use their ‘personal massager’ every time they hear the name Mitt Romney.

Not that I want to try to write your material for you, but look who is back in the news.

I think people are hungry for someone who is fed up with the way things are and who seem to believe in something enough to know there in an alternative worth fighting for.

We endured eight years and she’s already fed up with the change the vast majority of Americans were hungry for.

Some women just can’t go through menopause soon enough.

I think TBogg figured out how to hack the CNN site, and put this up.

Or even just plain old I’m over 40, and the baby machine is broken.

Well, it is definitely a parody of itself, so it’s certainly possible.
