Manic Markets & the Governent's Plan (Santelli's Brain Crushes Huffington,CNBC, On Camera Alert)

Rick Santelli this morning on CNBC takes on Ariana Huffinton. The intelectual vacuum of Ariana was on full display as she was totally exposed as a mental midget before the common sense real world observations and questions of Santelli.

It was not a rebel yell, it was a surgical crushing.

Santelli was asking the right questions and hitting the right points and Ariana was clueless in trying to push the usual left wing empty memes.

Huffinton was 100% mentally unarmed. I have seen this with all her appearances. She is never prepared to hold her own in a contest of ideas or an exchange in a debate.


[there is a 13 sec or so commercial then the actual video starts. The part with the Santelli and Huffinton Exchange is about 1:10 sec in]

Unfortunatly I skipped most of CNBC this AM and caught this exchange by chance. If this is the prime example of Huffington on any news show then her appearance must have been a total joke. It is the equivalent of having some hollywood crash bimbo on as an "expert". She must have been there in order to sell her investigative reporting outsourcing service to CNBC.

If that is the case then the competitition will be able to skewer anyone who uses her "service" as the equivalent of weekly world news on CNBC.

Stupid woman keeps saying we, we have a responsibility to people who bought at the top of the market and are underwater now.

So the taxpayer is suppose to take the risk of all the speculators and home buyers who bought houses at expensive prices now?

Could Arianna Huffington at least learn proper English first? She is on the MSM all the time and her outlet is the heart of the liberal blogoshpere, yet she talks like she took English lessons from Borat.

Thinking about it it’s actually not a contradiction.

Huffington is trying to push her hufington pst as a “source” of news and information. She is hiring the unemployed dreggs of the old media cheep and using them to write the stories which will drive more people to her and her investor’s site. She is not going to charge or restrict the reposting of the stories. (ala bloomberg)

IOW she wants to become an AP news of sorts with a far left wing pitch. I suspect she was at nbc to push this BS. She has no other funtion other than being a useful idiot for whoever she is seeking money from. (see katie couric’s promotion methods)

They want to obviate the need for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy is a useful tool. What is causing the housing mess RIGHT NOW is that failure has been taken out of the equation. There is no reset button.

Imagine if a computer could never be rebooted if it locked up because the reboot button had been removed.

Obama and by extension, useful idiot huffington, do not want to reboot the system; they want to unplug the computer toss it away and give everyone an abicus missing beads for all financial work and productivity.

I usually put on and switch around between CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business during the day.

When I saw Huffington on CNBC, I changed channels and wondered what the heck that stupid, shrill, idiot “liberal” POS witch with a “b” was doing on a business channel. She’s an idiot. The only thing she knows about business is giving BJ’s to the gay guy she was stupid enough (or coniving enough) to marry. She’s a commie traitor.

CNBC also has Donny Deutsch on. He’s another pretty boy moron. Note to Donny Boy, the colored shirt with the white collar and suspenders is so over. Dude, it’s not the 80’s anymore. Go get a manicure.

It’s bigger than that as no one believes that foreclosures will be altogether stopped.

But even a limited attempt to “aid” mortgage holders will be abused. It’s inevitable once government intervenes and we all know that.

She really doesn’t have a clue. Just more left-wing talking points.

in bankruptcy ALL court records are public. (via pacer federal public computers on the internet)

this means no cushy chris dodd bailouts.

I bet some politicians would like to have their own bailout prizes to give out which are not available to public exposure.

For example if Chris Dodd was in trouble, filed bankruptcy, his loan modification would be public without any FOIA hurdle. No way for the “sanitizing” or “misfiling” of records.

It also means those no job no money acorn loans would become public record and anyone with a puny amount of spreadsheet skill could connect the dots.

Did Santelli ever take up Obama on his offer to visit the White House? I wonder if that was real or just fluff made up by the media. Maybe Santelli’s self preservation instincts kicked in and he declined the offer. Either way, I'm pleased with his new found popularity. He earned it. How Huffington became so popular is still a mystery. Can you become famous for turning straight men gay?

...and yet somehow she manages to get face time on the air.

she never says anything of consequence, takes time away from those who say something relavent, and somehow the producers allow her on the air.

she must have been very very very very bad at “certain” acts. So then how does she get on the air when she is so out of place in the mental arena?

Ariana Huffington is the “Mr Rogers Neighborhood” lady.

She has ‘MRN’-Syndrome. You’re special. You’re too special to fail.

I poppped on CNBC this AM, got one glimpse of Huffington and changed the channel. There’s nothing on CNBC that will make me sit through even 5 seconds of that moronic cow.
