Did Rick Santelli recant this morning? I'm not referring to his use of the word "losers." I SO want to be wrong.
Not from what I saw on Scarborough this morning.
Nope, Santelli was on fire this morning as well.

I head him say on one interview that he wishes he hadn’t used that term but that it didn’t change his opinion of the plan. He’s still planning to have the “tea party”.
His morning interview on WIND (560-Chicago) he said (para), “Maybe I shouldn’t have used the word “losers”. I’m sorry. But....”
No change at all...just toned down a bit. He still thinks the stimulus package is garbage!
I heard Santelli interviewed by Don & Roma, on WLS-AM, 8:05-8:15. He got a few interviews today. In which town does he live? I hope that he’ll run for an office, in 2010.
I didn’t see (hear) fire. Could you please post the fiery URL?
Fast forward to minute 4, it is more the others who are fired up agreeing with him..
Could you please post today’s URL with Santelli’s fire
The markets haven’t recanted either; they’re now basically in open rebellion against the Commissar.
That’s not my take on it at all.
Wait till he gets the rubber glove treatment(sans lube) from the Lamestream press ala Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin....He’ll probably be singing a different tune. Hopefully not.
He didn’t recant but officials at CNBC certainly worked to “walk back” his statement. “Anchors” Carl Quantania (sp???) and Becky Quick tried to spin his remarks all morning to take the edge off, referring to a guest host’s remarks today as “Adult”.
Conservative Joe Kernan was off today. I think he wouldn’t have allowed Carl and Becky to get away with it, but who know’s? They’re all GE/NBC employees.
Just wait and see if Rick Santelli starts getting the “Joe the Plumber” treatment.
Not really. He was just sorry he used the word losers but the tea party is still on. I heard they tripled teamed him on the Today Show though.
He better take care not to end up out on the street, or worse... Behind bars for inciting a riot.
I went onto the link below as someone suggested. I just didn’t hear the fire, darn it. When and where is the party?

I think we should have an Arugula party, not a tea party. http://www.parkseed.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10101&langId=-1&mainPage=prod2working&ItemId=3912&cid=ppp000195 has seeds - if we start them in March or April, should be ready for the July 4 Santelli event in Chicago. Or, if we all grow them, we can depress the Arugula market!! :-)
Don’t know whcih burb. I’d like to know too.
Santelli definitely didn’t recant. In fact, he used what went on yesterday to make a bigger point that you can’t just look at the people with problems which is what we’ve been bombarded with for the past few months, and make your solutions based on them. So Rick is staying strong and not caving.
