[Ht/ Pharmboy] Joe Scarborough sent us a little love this morning . . .
Morning Joe opened today with the instant-classic clip of CNBC’s Rick Santelli on the floor of the CBOE yesterday, calling out President Obama over the mortgage bailout. Scarborough seconded Santelli’s sentiment, but wondered whether Santelli was similarly outraged when the government was bailing out Wall Street. Mike Barnicle assured him that Santelli had not been: “No, he didn’t make the same argument when we bailed out Wall Street and he didn’t make the same argument when we bailed out General Motors.”
Except Santelli did. I emailed the show the YouTube of Santelli, back in September, expressing great skepticism over the Wall Street bailout.
At the top of the next hour, Joe set the record straight, and in doing so, gave us a shout-out . . .

Scarborough sends me a shoutout ping to Today show list.
With thanks to FReeper Pharmboy for the heads-up!
Excellent.
Anything that demonstrates Mike Barnacle just makes things up, when he isn’t plagerizing, is a good thing.
Good work, Mark.
Message to Joe Scarborough: Watch out when you start relying on Mike Barnicle (or any of your other MSNBC regulars) for “facts” or “truth”!
I have said that much of the power of the internet and computers is the ability to archive and index. Formerly, one had to search newspaper morgues to find old stuff.
You pinned Blowhard Barnacle’s ears back. Congratulations!
Ain’t nobody like FReepers! Good work governsleast!
Why would anyone have Mike Barnicle on their show?
“much of the power of the internet and computers is the ability to archive and index.”
Thanks, abb. It literally took me less than 30 seconds to research what Santelli had said and find the YouTube.

That’s nice that he set the record straight. Unfortunately so many incorrect things are said in the media and never corrected (or if they are most of the audience misses it, so they think it’s true). That’s why I take most of what they say with a grain of salt.
I can’t get the video to play. But, I’ve been doing a lot of memory intensive adobe stuff this morning so maybe that’s why.
You are doing the Lord's work.....especially in view of the fact that the media and its minions are the insidious enemy within.

On another note, I really enjoy your site....when I can get it to load, lol. Often times when I go there my computer freezes up and more times than not, I can't get the video clips to play. Is it just me? I only bring this up because I very much like your work but do experience some frustration when trying to view your site. All the same, keep up the good work!
HOW DARE YOU EXPOSE MY
FRIEND MIKE BARNICLE'S LIES?
(Good work, glgb! :-) )
Won’t play for me either.
Well then, maybe it’s not us! ;)
good for you...you made a difference, every little bit helps in this political war
