Juan Williams talks too much...and he is dumb.

Bill Kristol points out the absurdity of the clunkers thing.

Good job, Bill.

Correction: the Cash for Cluckers congressman was Jeb Hensarling, not Paul Ryan. I like them both.

Pshew! Thanks for the correction. I thought either Ryan had had some plastic surgery, or I needed glasses. :-)

Cash for Clunkers — for the rich isn’t it??

Remember you still have to have the money and be able to get the loan for a NEW car. Even a Obamamobile.

The cluckers have to be destroyed, not repaired and resold.

The Stephy interview with Geithner was very illuminating.

He made some astounding discoveries like "unemployment is high" and "we need growth to spur jobs." I'm sure you need 20 years of college to figure those two out!

But then he got back to basics by blaming everything on GW as his masters have told him to do by stating what enormous damage the Bush adm. did to the economy,and how the deficits would only be brought down by endless taxing after their endless spending.

In the end it was obvious he is a Keynesian Socialist of the first order and huge part of the problem and not the solution.

Ugh, the power player is Brillo Pad Head, Wasserman-Schultz.

One of the nastiest people in Congress, and that is quite a feat.

I don't know about "the rich". It's up to $4,500 "free" money for anyone who wants to buy a new car, has a "gas guzzler", and can either pay for the remainder or qualify for a loan. Not sure how difficult it is to get financing for car loans these days.

You still have to be able to afford the price of a NEW car, and get the loan.

Have you tried to get a loan for anything lately??

I made me watch Stephanopolous to see how they treated Michelle and it was horrible.

THey treated her like a fly,,sort of brushed her off. THe woman from the Atlantic Constitution stared daggers of hate across the table,,I haven’t seen that much contempt and hate in a long time.

Michelle was anxious and didn’t do as well as I anticipated,,the old boys all chuckling around the table, dismissing her clearly threw her.

It was dreadful as the other three all agreed there was racial profiling with Gates. Michelle said there wasn’t and they just moved on.

Talk about marginalizing a person,,they did it in spades.

I’m sorry to hear that, but not surprised. Still, Michelle is bright and tough and she’ll come back at her next similar opportunity all the stronger, I think.

The difference between reality and the things Geithner says is enormous.

He also went to gesture school and feels he must use all the gestures they taught him in the shortest amount of time.

They were not able, however, to teach him to pronounce all of the syllables in a word.

Might as well just call it Cash for GE and make it a little more clear.

Just listen to Geithner!

They really do think we’re stupid.

Health care is responsible for the deficit.

Spending more on the teacher’s unions will help bring down the deficit.

I would bet cash money that what they did was before the show they treated her very cordially, asking questions and acting respectful, luring her into thinking they were going to treat her as someone with a valid opinion.

Once the cameras were on, they acted as reported, and that is why she was thrown off.

I have seen conservatives comment about this tactic in the past, which is what this sounds like to me.

We need a way to educate people on how to talk on TV shows. Mary Cheney should hold seminars on how to do it.
