This is a case of me running into Pedro Picasso by accident; it's a brand-new bonfire.

Wow...CNBC Dude went off on MSNBC. Contessa tries to shut him down.
He's the one guy on the Morning Joe guest list who ever [sic] sounds sane. They're discussing the Citi bailout, and Paulson. She's clueless of the actual details, of course. She's only there to tout the stale old party line for the last-gasping conservatives. When the guy from CNBC (I like him...he seems to know his stuff) starting getting pissed, railing on about how Paulson and Bush are basically stealing us blind with no accountability, Contessa got noticeably uncomfortable. She urged CNBC Guy to give them a chance, and he'd have none of it. He was practically calling for people to march on Washington, saying we're being totally hosed and why aren't people up in arms about it?!
Contessa says...uh...well, gosh Mister...that's sound inconvenient. Shouldn't we wait until after ALL the money is gone, then we can just forgive them and move forward??? (I'm paraphrasing, of course, for truthfulness).
As it's new, only one primitive's noticed this bonfire yet.

1. Chimp has completely rewritten the bounds of the outrage meter.
And dopamine is probably involved.
Well, for whatever that's worth.
By the way, I wouldn't trust El Stupido Supremo's "paraphrasing" for "truthfulness."
