Often, our ignorance is not as great as our reluctance to act on what we know.

Santelli is s a bailout queen

Since last October, CNBC's parent company General Electric has taken at least $139 billion in government-backed loan guarantees to keep GE Capital Corp from going belly-up and taking the whole company, including Rick Santelli, with it.



No wonder Rick signed that confession on CNBC's site, professing his love for Obama and the government stimulus package. To quote Tray's father in Don't Be A Menace In South Central: "Ain't nuttin wrong with welfare checks, that's somethin called 'free money'!"

We repeat: Rick Santelli, along with Lawrence Kudlow and all the other free-marketeer hustlers at CNBC are nothing but bailout queens posing as angry, principled anti-bailout crusaders. Repeat again, to get it into your thick heads: Rick Santelli's salary is underwritten by government bailout money... YOU, PROTESTERS AGAINST BAILOUTS, PAY RICK'S SALARY! And yet, gosh, he's just soooo angry about his taxdollars going to bail you out, because as he said in his famous "rant," he doesn't want to bail out "losers" like you. He just wants losers like you to bail out winners like him and Kudlow. And you know, in a way, he's right–you really are losers if you don't demand that Rick pays you back the money he took from you and all of us.
