PS---You can always watch the Show Live 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

2. pathetic
The interviewer is talking to him like you would a 5 year old. The leader of the free world believes the economy is bad because we built too many houses? January 09 cant come fast enough.

4. Bush's idiocy stopped being funny a long-ass time ago.
Essentially he's saying he thinks most Americans are wrong and what he thinks is right, even though time and time again he's proven dead wrong on everything. His arrogance is astounding.

5. Iraq: a vicious right wing New Deal.
It isn't only the big fish, Halliburton et al, who have made out.

Over 100,000 extortionists, thieves and parasites -- the parlance is "contractors" -- cling to Iraq's belly like human tics. And that is not counting the for-hire murderers.

When you consider that housing and finance provided the bulk of high-paying (and as we see now very bubblicious and short-lived) domestic employment under Bush, with the balance going to the Wal-Marteers and Starbucks barista class, colonial employment in Iraq has amounted to a vast right wing jobs program.

This will be the last pig trough until the next war. From here on out it gets very lean as the recession unfolds, housing values collapse, the consumer runs out of credit, the war costs multiply and America faces up in all dread and dismay to its hallucinatory economy.

8. IF you are still one of those people...
who truly think that guy gives a shit about this country, even after watching his condescending jack ass response on that video, then I say you are as big a threat to our national security as the "terris."
