I don’t claim to have a sure-fire solution for the economy. But I’m pretty confident there’s something certain to prop up pay-per-view ratings: a steel cage match between Arianna Huffington and Mark Haines.
The pair put in separate appearances on Morning Joe. After the never-shy Huffington called on the government to stop “protecting the equity holders” in banks, Haines came on and called Huffington “clueless” and suggested “in the future, you might want to get someone who knows what they’re talking about.” He pointed out that, contrary to Arianna’s claim, equity holders in the banks have been “destroyed.”
As you’ll see from the screencap, Mika Brzezinski’s jaw literally dropped at Haines’ candid comments.

Mark Haines rips “clueless” Arianna Huffington ping to Today show list.
Mika and Arianna are time sharing a brain cell.
For a mature lady Mika is pretty zippy.
He's about as outspoken of a member of the MSM as you can possibly find--and his outspokenness is directed and the left and right.
Why are they so shocked by his comment? It’s not like he put a hit out on her or something, what is so out of bounds about saying someone is “clueless”?
I’d say that’s an accurate description of a woman who didn’t know she was married to a queer.
To paraphrase Dan Akrod: “Arianna, you ignorant sl#t.”
Really. Talk about needing a visit from the clue fairy. I knew he was gay and I never met the guy

LOL!

Arriana, you Soros sucker...
I like CNBC. Haines and Joe Kernan are outspokenly conservative and I think Becky Quick is a closet right winger. I know Carl Quintanilla is a liberal but he plays it very straight during Squawk Box. None of these people suffer fools gladly. NBC could use a few more like them.
Don’t you love hearing her use words like “equity” when she’s probably never even balanced her own checkbook? You can see it in the expression on her face, she just called up the Huffington Compost’s Financial Guru—probably some New Ager—and asked for a few key words she could toss out there so she’d seem to know what she was talking about.
I think anyone would turn gay after being married to her.
You’re right but Haines is a bit of a blow-hard. He tried his bullying tactics on Rush a week or two ago and Rush handled it perfectly (since Haines was, typically, taking him out of context and just going with the MSM line). But if anyone deserves a ripping, Arianna is probably at the front of that list.
She’s what I call the guttural liberal. She makes all kinds of grunting noises to establish her liberal credentials. Like she is posing for her friends or something.
It’s annoying, hollow and patronizing.
Then again, Joe tries to keep her quiet most of the time. So she resorts to that cheap method of editorializing. And it’s always predictable.
Zippy? Huh?
Her husband probably thought she was a female impersonator. She's very butch.
She's also one of those women whose hairstyles get younger as she gets older. It never works.
No you can’t give it to her. When the government bailed the banks out it took an equity position of its own which is superior to that of previous equity holders. So in effect the government has wiped out the previous equity holders.
Al Franken didn't think so when they were both married and carrying on together.
What really appalls me is that she was a "conservative" one day, which tells you something about the power of the liberal MSM still wield!
Arianna couldn’t find a clue if she stripped herself naked, smeared herself with clue mating pheromones and wandered into a field of horny male clues!
BUMP!
Oh she knew she was married to a queer - but that marriage got her into the US and netted her millions of bucks. She was willing to put up with a little pain-in-the-*** for that....
Uncomfortable as it is to say that Airyheaded Stuffington may be right on this....but you make a point that the holders of the equity still do have shares when the holders still have something after a bailout....because otherwise they would have nothing.
The problem with this bailout nonsense is that its liberal-ness makes it easier for uber-liberals to criticize
You're so right. He held Rush's feet to the fire in last week's interview re: Limbaugh's WSJ article.
Given the changes to her "public persona," I just figured that her "private persona" was what turned him homosexual.
Mark
I didn’t know Arianna married to get citizenship. Ya learn somethin’ new every day, though I admit she’s not someone I’ve done much research into—I mean, there ain’t much THERE there.
plus they have that smokin’ hot Cuban lady with the hyphenated name...
...all of which would immediately transmogrify into homosexual pheromones.
Zackly. It’s like having an undervalued property and being forced to sell it at a big loss when it’s condemned for a freeway. Or a shopping center.
Do you mean Michelle Caruso-Cabrera? I always thought she was Italian. I agree on the hotness, though.
