1) Clearly, CNBC reporter Santelli tapped into something last week with his housing harangue from the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade. A YouTube video of Santelli has been downloaded more than half a million times, and commentary on the diatribe is burning up the blogosphere. He even made Meet the Press. Lots of pundits are comparing him to Howard "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Beale, the crazed anchorman from the 1976 film "Network."
But there is a big difference, I think. Beale was telling anesthetized TV viewers to wake up to a world and reality gone horribly wrong. (Unfortunately, they all woke up to the Carter administration.) Santelli, though, represents not a call to mere awareness but a call to action for those folks who, as Democrats like to put it, "work hard and play by the rules" -- and who now are watching those that didn't get rewarded.
Santelli actually understands business.
The Obama-loon collection cannot even spell it.
you have no clothes mr emperor
Santelli is smarter than Obama’s economic team combined.
Mr. Emperor has the purse strings through his lady friend in congress.
“We don’t need no stinkin clothes!”
Maybe zero’s team should watch “Trading Places”. At the end it’s very educational on how the markets work (and Jamie Lee Curtis is cute).
"Who loves ya, baby?"
I didn't view it myself but it must have been hilarious. Howard is dumber than a bucket of worms.
I a battle of wits, Howard is definitely unarmed!
