Who else watched Dylan Ratigan tell the truth on Morning Joe?

The estimable host tried to minimize his rant by laughing and accusing him of being coked up.. But Ratigan spoke fast and laid out the case for properly regulated capitalism.

(If he was hyper, it hadto have been all that Starbucks caffeine.)

1. He tells the truth but come on man

Dylan and the rest of the "Fast Talkin' Bout Money" crew are constantly coked up. They have more jaw problems than most of east NY.

12. It's called "giving someone a hard time." New York's eastern category should know all about it. n/t

13. East New York is in Brooklyn

It's close to Queens. Coke is a bit high-falutin' for that area.

6. it was interesting....and the other 2 guys cackling at him ticked me off.

the frustrating thing is....the banksters are in charge and all we can do is complain about the theft.

11. I like him for the most part. I changed channels the second I saw they had Suzy Welch AGAIN!

Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 08:12 AM by Phoebe Loosinhouse

I have no interest in seeing her or listening to her. I am DISGUSTED by Jack Welch, former CEO and leech (google his retirement package). I guess he must have decreed that Suzy wants to be a pundit and the GE/NBC corporatists have to fulfill his orders. She is just moronic.
