A TV and radio host shocked viewers when he said the human toll caused by the widespread death and destruction of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami was worse than the toll on the economy 'and we can be grateful for that'.
In the wake of devastation which has seen thousands lose their lives following the 9.0 magnitude quake, CNBC's Larry Kudlow said: 'The human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll, and we can be grateful for that.'
The pundit had been discussing the U.S. markets when the rolling screen graphic signalled the death toll was likely to be more than 1,000.

Kudlow had better start sending out his resume. Something tells me he will be looking for a new job.
If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy. If millions die, that's only statistics.

Kudlow is nothing but a blowviating blowhard. Just watch his show once and you will agree. Anyone that takes investment advice from him is a fool. Former drug addict but he says he is clean now. Based on that comment, I wonder. Also, at one time he claimed to be a conservative but now he tows the NBC line. Without that job he has nothing.
I'm willing to cut Larry some slack because anyone can have a slip of the tongue.
But this is really how libtards think. I've watched reporting on other monumental disasters and the libtards almost always welcome the reduction in human population, particularly when it is the elderly (fewer pension expenses) or very young (fewer nuturing or educational expenses), the two most vulnerable groups. They made an exception, of course, for Katrina because that was a golden opportunity to bash Bush.
Libtards see humans as liabilities for the planet, not as resources. They are fond of telling you that Americans consume 20% of the world's energy supply even though we are only about 4% of the world's population. What they won't tell you is that we produce 60% of the world's corn, 80% of the world's durham wheat (used in pasta), and even 30% or so of the world's rice.
They hate the Japanese only slightly less because they are a close friend of America.
Speaking of insensitive.
I was reacting to the general premise that he said something offensive, I did not mean to criticize your post.
CNBC's Larry Kudlow said: 'The human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll, and we can be grateful for that.'Whoops.
He’s never going to spin away from that clinker. It’s going to be on his tombstone.
