One cheerleader joins another for the never-ending cushy jobs offered to these corporate hacks.

Santelli's real expertise is in teabagging.

How can you add anything when the inference is obvious, our experts are all hacks.

Given the success of the Bush administration did anyone seriously think that he'd find a brain after he left office?

Didn't their leadership lead us to the mess we're in?

It's time to wake up America!

If you believe in publicly funding education and providing affordable higher education you are a socialist.

If you believe in a postal service that delivers a letter from one side of the country to the other in a couple of days for 42 cents you are a socialist.

If you believe in the government paying for road and bridge repairs across the country you are a socialist.

If you believe everyone has a right to medical services you are a socialist.

If you believe senior citizens who worked and pay their taxes for an entire life time are entitled to social security when they are too old to work anymore then you are a socialist.

If you believe the government should send monies to states ravages by natural disasters then you are a socialist.

If you believe people should be treated equal and women are as good as men then you are a socialist.

The fact is if you believe in any of the above you can no longer consider yourself to be either right of center or a centrist.

Therefore, a socialism is a good thing and socialists should not hang their heads in shame. After the stigma on the term "liberal" was neutralized, they just had to come up with another label to use as a club. Make no apologies and fight back..

I guess I'm a Socialist, also.
I want all the states that don't want the stimulus money to send it back and if their states are ever ravaged by hurrricanes, etc., tell the Socialist government they don't want any help; "we'll handle it ourselves".
Then tell all their citizens to tear up their medicare cards and send back their social security benefits and/or unemployment checks. Lastly, tell all the people who make less than $250,000 annually to reject their tax cuts.

One can only wonder if Santelli will have the balls to lay the blame for our current economic crisis where it belongs . . . at the feet of his host.

That explains the so called non-political rant he became infamous for. I am willing to bet it was a planned GOP stunt!

Maybe its a typo. Santelli will be one of the library's "Expert s of Paneling". You can't be too careful with wall coverings these days.

What an embarressment to the Nation-
What will be on display
Torture Documents, Pictures of Torture
You- Tube video Alberto Gonzales on rewind and replay,
Maps of WMD, The housing crisis, Katrina,
all presented by a ex-con
with a meal ticket of a frito pie and a stale soda at food court

At least Santelli is finally showing his colors instead of pretending to be non-biased.

No, Kudlow or Cramer? Suprised. Rick Santelli's nickname is "Summers Eve."

What exactly are the qualifications to become a member of the "Panel of Experts' at the Bush library?
