Anyone watching Michael Moore school Maria Bartiromo on the realities of capitalism on MJ
right now?

Interesting. She has had a look on her face like she's next to a bad smell. Poor Wall Street guys suffer, I tell you.

Go, Michael.

1. Why would the mental midget Bartiromo would even try to debate Michael Moore?
She's doomed to fail even before it gets started.....Perhaps an interview with Donald Duck would be better suited for her.

2. Not only is she up against Moore, but Howard Dean is there too.

3. damn. I missed it.
But I did see Joe say that if Flint, Michigan ever needs an NFL football owner (or something dumb), he would like Michael Moore to own it even though "they disagree 99%" of the time. Michael said that he promised not to make racist comments and take oxycontin.

6. Maria looks like she has a terrible hangover
without makeup and without her brains.


I caught the Dean portion online, he was great as normal
I hope someone recorded the whole portion

9. I sometimes wonder how she ever sleeps...She's on in the morning,
She's on in the afternoons. Schmoozing with rich people at the finest restaurants and partying at the most exclusive clubs in the evenings. Sheesh! It's gotta be rough!

14. And her hair, geez.
You'd think she could afford better hairstylists who could make it look not like she just ogt out of bed and went on camera.

7. According to her, Michael's ideas about capitalism being
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 07:07 AM by Subdivisions
a gigantic Ponzi scheme is "just absurd".

I used to like Maria, but she's been thoroughly indoctrinated into the Club of Elites and, as pleasing to the eye as she is, she has become one ugly, ugly person.

8. Its too bad that she has to take on this new persona.
I think she's smart, and she used to understand how the system worked, but I guess since the crash nbc couldn't/wouldn't put her in a decent place to report on or analyze it. She's probably not happy.

15. I disagree about her being smart. She makes numerous errors
every time she's on and is corrected continuously by others on the panel. It's a mystery to me why she's still around. I get a real Jeff Guckert aka Jeff Gannon vibe from Maria. Someone or something has installed her as a mouthpiece in place of one of the legions of more qualified people.
This morning, her rationale for the discrepancy between men and women's earnings was again that old "women opt out of the workforce". Really? Cause I'm looking around here at work (yes, I'm supposed to be working) and I see 5 women who have NEVER opted out of the workforce. Meanwhile, there are 3 men here who have missed work more days this past year than those of us who took maternity leave.
Maria never lets reality invade her treasure trove of ancient rightwing talking points.
For Maria, Ronald Reagan is alive, has his hands underneath her dress, and making her voice his trusty and crusty old adages.

12. She's a CNBC Anchor.

Of course Maria's a great publicist/shill for Corpora-nomics, Free Trade and WealthCare. When she's not jetting around with Citi execs, that's what she's pimped to do.

Right wing weasel Dennis Kneale lambasted Moore also when he was on CNBC. Plenty of useful idiots for the Corporate politburo out there.

13. She is an ignorant puke
A wall st. whore who has made a career obediently regurgitating the "conventional wisdom" of the masters of the universe. She was also a Palin cheerleader, natch.
