The Owners have sent the word out: stop Alan Grayson.

Cavuto is a lunatic. I never see him; is he always so enraged?

Which amendment was the New Dems gutting the Grayson bill? Roll call available?

Speaking of Fox, when did Rupert Murdoch stop beating his wife?

Cavuto did not get that a statutory range is something that would be gamed.
Grayson gave an example of that – a $10M bonus would change to a $9.99999999M bonus.

Bean-McMahon. . . vote just went down less than an hour ago. Dems split, Republicans voted overwhelmingly for it.

Fox anchors are always rude, except to Dick Cheney. Remember O’Reilly screaming at Frank, calling him a liar not too long ago?
Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrfPMa3lONU

Where is everyone? Dinnertime or did everyone have to go buy some tums after they heard what Ms. Fox said?

Melissa Bean’s amendment. Brad Sherman spoke out against it – you can get out of any restriction if you start paying your TARP money back, even if you stop. So, it’s meaningless.

I was able to get through the clip. Barely. Cavuto is an even bigger asshole than I thought. Nor would I have ever believed it would be possible for Faux to get any more shrill, but they are proving me wrong. It seems clear that they’re turning up the volume these days.

On a go-forward basis, the tactic for guests has to be to state plainly that you’d like to respond to the question(s) but won’t even try if you continue to be interrupted. Then let the air go dead. When you are asked to proceed, go ahead and do so. When you are interrupted again, let the air go dead again. Repeat this process as many times as it takes, always reminding the “host” that you are happy to answer any and all questions whenever they deign to shut their yaps and allow it without interruption. Trying to argue is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

The next revolution will make the French and Russian Revolutions look like mannered tea parties. The heads of corrupt rich banksters and complicit politicians will be rolling.

Let’s have that same arrangement for people who owe thousands of dollars in student loans.
If they start repaying them and then stop, no harm, no foul, no further action taken. Sound good?

Middle class and working class Americans come to the ongoing class war armed with marshmallows and water pistols. Guess who is winning.

Hey Teddy, speaking of Virginia Fox’s gaffe, I thought of you this weekend when I attend the grand opening of a small bookstore in the neighborhood. I bought “Uppity Women of Medieval Times — 200 daring damsels who dazzled the Dark Ages and rocked the Renaissance! I’m not kidding, either.

Gregg and Jane, thanks. The official roll call’s not up yet but this will be the url when it’s posted:

that’d be a possibility. is there any good reason for any sane person to actually agree to appear on fox?

this was truly insane.
Congress writes laws all the time and the executive branch issues regs that go in the federal register and there are comment periods. there is no wizard behind a black curtain.
as to titles; what is to stop these ganiffs at AIG from calling the CFO and executive assistant and paying him or her like a CFO.
you cant title the jobs and you leave the details to the departments.
Cavuto was insulting and irrational.

looking at the clip, i’ve never seen cavuto before but he didn’t really look all that angry to me, more like he was acting the wingnut part trying to make grayson look bad. and yes, he was insulting and irrational.

Ah, ya gotta love them thar wingnuts. Cavuto’s apoplectic over some “arbitraty beaurocrat” (otherwise known as the Treasury Secretary, confirmed by the senate that he appears to revere) determining the fair pay of people who are essentially employed and paid by the taxpayers whom he claims to be so concerned about, as per the constitution and a law just passed by congress and signed by the president, yet he didn’t have the slightest problem in the world with some other “arbitraty beaurocrat” (otherwise known as the president, vice-president, national security advisor, secretary of defense, etc.) exploiting the AUMF to basically destroy 2 countries on bogus charges. Ummmkay…

Neil Cavuto is an anagram for Plutocratic Dickweed.

Thought you should know.

What an interesting habit these representatives of the status qui bono (and talking heads who love them long time) have developed of going all Upton Sinclairish on such complex matters as separation of powers, executive determination of policy limits and the U.S. Constitution whenever confronted with a square peg to cram in their round hole.

A suggestion to Cavuto, Bachmann and all the rest – Why don’t you study your country’s operating manuals a bit before attempting public discourse on the topic.

Kthxbye

;>)

I can’t think of even one. However, if a lot of sane people accepted invitations and continually used this tactic (or anything that would be effective in the circumstance), it could prove useful, I think. The contradictions (both at the top and down on the ground) are becoming so glaringly obvious that even the mouth-breathers out there in Faux Land are getting ripe to be moved. It’s about a united front and unrelenting pressure. When these assholes interrupt, dead air. No exceptions. And then, “May I finish my point?” If interrupted, dead air. Etc.

I agree, faux outrage. I wonder what his personal history is?

Damn! I worked that puzzle for days. Thanks for solving it for me.

Watch Jane Hamsher on television anytime she’s interrupted. She goes very quiet — and smiles.

I call it her “you interrupted me, asshole” smile.

Don’t know, but if there is one I’m sure it could be worked like a root canal without anesthetic. On air? There’s your first-rate comedy hour.

Brilliant.

Classy.

In a passive-aggressive kind of way.

Cavuto was insulting on purpose, you can see him starting at the gate from the beginning of the clip.

I’m not against insulting a congressmember here or there, but Cavuto chose Rep. Grayson for his gratuitous insults because Rep. Grayson is a junior Democrat from a (mostly) Republican state. He lacks the courage to throw such insults at more powerful politicians,or at the corporate fraudsters who regularly appear on his show.

Cavuto has suffered health problems, saying, “I don’t hide that I have had a tough life in many respects. I fought back a near-life-ending cancer, only to end up with multiple sclerosis years later. Doctors have since told me that the odds of contracting both diseases in the same life are something like two million to one! Yet here I am, marching on, continuing to do my job when doctors who’ve examined my scans and MRIs tell me I shouldn’t be walking or talking.”[3]

the above from wiki. i resist commenting.

why would he want to be insulting people he’s in bed with?

Hah! Silly me. I fell right into the trap of taking Cavuto seriously when he said he too was against failed CEOs ripping off the taxpayers.

thanks for pointing this interview out, it was a scream.

The Tears of Shame Club:
Bush
Boehner
Beck
Could Cavuto be far behind?

McCarthy never did, why should they?

I’m talkin Joe, Mac, not Charlie Mac, although the dummy was smarter than the Senator.

Nicer, too.

:>

Yep.

You don’t win the war in one heated exchange, and the more we point them out as heated, for nothing.

Well, to us it matters.

To 23% it won’t matter what’s done, will it.

I say give them Alabama. All of it. With fences to keep them in. *G*

Bachman.

Ya just have to have ole Blue Eyes in there.

How can a woman with such lovely eyes be so, so.

Sigh, what a waste of a human vessal. Or, vassal.

Alan Grayson is a huge breath of fresh air, and Cavuto cannot stand it. Grayson found, however, that it’s tough to argue with someone who’s insane…

I just finished the book “Blue Gold” by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke and was schocked to find out that what they call “transnational companies” that deal in the water/sewer business are seeking to privatize water throughtout the world. In their water contracts they gain control over a nations water/sewer and are more powerful in regard to water rights, than the gov’t in those countries. With the help of the World Bank, the World Trade Org., NAFTA, CAFTA, and etc., the corps are gainging control over the water/sewer in nation’s across the world through their legal contracts. And the book talked abt BIT’s, Bilateral Investment Treaties and how very few politiicians or citizens know the power they have or even that they exist. This book was written in 2002 so I don’t know where it stands now but it sure bothered me to read how transnational/international corp’s are becoming more powerful than the gov’t of the nation they are in, all over the world. I had no clue. I thought of Enron as an oil co but they and Betchel are/were gathering up the rights to the worlds fresh water and want to make it a commodity that moves and trades around the world like oil. And now the banks are too big to fail and who is asking for to break up these monopolies? WTF happened to my country?
