For whatever reason, CNBC keeps lining up challengers to take on its Chicago Mercantile Exchange floor reporter Rick Santelli over his self-reliance, pro-taxpayer persona - whether it's Steve Liesman, Arianna Huffington or this time, Keith Boykin - editor of The Daily Voice, a CNBC contributor and a BET TV host. ON CNBC's May 7 "The Call," Santelli took on Boykin in the program's "The Call of the Wild" segment. Boykin was armed with the usual anti-George W. Bush talking points. "Look what he inherited first of all," Boykin said. "He didn't inherit anything," Santelli said. "He ran for office, it was his choice."

Boykin is usually a nervous nellie as he is a flaming homo marriage activist.
Someone stole my thunder but I was going to write:
Santelli/Joe the Plumber in 2012!
“He didn’t inherit anything,” Santelli said. “He ran for office, it was his choice.”
What’s that you’re chokin’ on Keith - would that be you’re really lame, one EXCUSE doesn’t fits anything ever TALKING POINTS?
It is due to Santelli that I tune into CNBC from time to time. He strikes me as a very honest man. And for television that is not only refreshing, but miraculous as well.
Oh my husband and I will watch him on the financial show and just laugh - he’s very witty and sharp.
Remember that Santelli IS the one that suggested Tea Parties! He said it first!!

Speaking of that, I heard on the Midnight Trucking show the other night that they had to shut down a whole section of a highway in California because a 90 foot blade on a windmill from a nearby wind farm is loose and they have no way to stop it or control it and they're afraid it's going to fly off and kill someone.

cnbc has some new programming priorities - there are the two guys (cant remember names) who always fight late morning and then whenever else they are together, which cnbc clearly likes and I read their new head (producer) actually wants the jerry-springer model for this stuff. This is tiresome. CNBC used to be so much more civil in dialogue. Even the kudlow egoman talks over anyone he can.
Santinelli has really become a lot more vocal on political issues the last two months. He (inadvertently at first, I assume) has made himself a nationally recognized icon, something almost no other cnbc talking head can claim, even the 20-year ones.
