CNBC is playing all day long in our office but when I heard Hillary’s shrill voice I got up and mutued the TV. I’m going to leave it muted for now since I’m sure the talking heads are still going ga ga. I’ll wait to hear Kudlow when he’s on his own show later this afternoon.
RATigan is a massive NYC liberal. He exploded when one of the guys on the show he hosts, Fast Money, in the afternoons talked about how Michael Moore was banned from getting into the NYSE. This was when Michael Moore showed up on the steps of the NYSE with a bunch of tv crews claiming he wanted everyone to sell all their HMO stocks and wanted to be able to do it from the floor of the NYSE.
The NYSE said no way and RATigan looked like he was going to have a nervous breakdown over the matter.
Ratigan is usually pretty good. I dunno what his politics are but I’ve generally found him to be pretty fair with his observations and such. I did not get to see this interview though.
I have a feeling they were under orders..probably an agreement before hand or the like.
