Neil Cavuto Gets Called An A**Hole Live During Debate Over Stimulus Package

Ron Blackwell is not only the Chief Economist for the AFL-CIO, but today he was a rather notable guest on Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto. During a debate about the relative merits of the economic stimulus package, Blackwell and host Neil Cavuto predictably took opposing sides as to whether increased government spending has hurt the economy or has kept it from tanking more. Cavuto questioned Blackwell’s pedigree, wondering if he got his degree at a “baking school.” Blackwell called Cavuto a “joker” and an “a**hole.”

Cavuto addressed this at 6pm during his FBN show in which he called it “one of the most stunning and scary interviews I’ve ever conducted.” See for yourself in the video below.

Don't you get it, Cavuto? Don't you have any idea as to what the basic, rudimentary function of the government is? The sole obligation, function of the Government as mandated by the people, for the people, of the people is to SPEND MONEY for all, every solution to all, every problem????

What is it about the government spending money, our money, our taxation money, other people's money, money we don't have, that you don't understand?

Neil Cavuto yet again shows that he is a very cool and classy fellow as well as having total control over his interview by reducing his straight-forward question down to its simplest form. Instead of losing it and responding to the curse, Cavuto stays on track. Cavuto continues to impress me.

Together, combined they make the total sum of “one baking school” between them as they are by themselves, each only half-baked.

[golas1964]

...and they must share the same degree which is why they are only half-baked. :-)

Ha! Cavuto did well. And this union thug calls himself an economist?

When a costly liberal program fails abysmally (insert Stimulus Plan), the progressives’ answer is invariably to throw more money at it.

The “baking school” crack really made Blackwell burn into his seat.

this union thug calls himself an economist

Could be a misprint. Maybe he is an ecommunist.

Ron Blackwell is the “Chief Economist” for the AFL-CIO, the way Ahmadinejad is Chief Peacemaker for the Mullahs,
