Holy Crap! She looks like she was fed Hard Candy with a slingshot! A tornado hit her head-on? Wow, imagine rolling over in the morning and seeing that freak show!

Santelli is the man. He reminds me of some of the real gritty, salt of the earth dudes I met when I worked on Wall St. Regular guys with good old fashion street smarts. Realists.

Like it or not, everyone in this country gets a vote. And if enough “freaked out white men” vote, we get represented in government.

And, a majority of the House was not elected by “freaked out white men”. That majority could have done anything they agreed to and the representatives elected by the “freaked out white men” couldn’t have done a thing to stop it. I haven’t heard anything about that.

I’ve heard a lot about how Boehner had to submit to the tea party against his will. But nothing about how the Democrats went to Boehner and said “you don’t need them. Neither of us like their demands so let’s work together on something we both like more than the tea party’s demands”

She is married to a former WWE wrestler, so maybe she as spent time around “Freaked out white men”.

Who knows?

She’s probably just spouting the MSM mantra of BABOAD-BPTP.

You know, “Blame Anybody But Obama And Democrats - Bush, Palin, Tea Party”

Forgive me for not being magnanimous...

This broad needs to get out of NY and NJ and actually go to a Tea Party meeting and get to meet the WOMEN in the movement, doesn't matter, I can see she is a leftist hack at heart.

Liked her Muni Bond call, but man she is in the same dust bin as Krute, Kristol and Noonan at this point...

I'd be very careful rendering judgments on this without being able to read the entirety of what Whitney said. CNBC is infamous at ginning up games of lets-you-and-him-fight. I suspect this is another attempt.

That host guy is such a tool. He always tries to belittle Santelli.

At our Tea Party meeting this past Mon night, the ladies slightly outnumbered the guys.

But this is so cool!! Now we're demonized terrorists.

Meridith, Meridith, Meridith. I defended you when you were the lone wolf to call the housing bubble. I defended you when you trumpeted the coming muni collapse and this is how you repay me? You are dead to me...

Actually I have noticed it is led by many empowered women and not men at all. I understand that the Dems would not really like to be perceived attacking empowered women that will take them out at the kneecaps using the election ballot.

She’s wrong about the demographic, but she’s right about the unemployment benefits.

I suspect some welfare types are running a scam with it -- hold a make-work "community service" job for enough time to qualify for unemployment, arrange to be laid off, spend 99 weeks collecting unemployment, then back to a "community service" job for just long enough to qualify for another 99 weeks of unemployment.
