Liberal Talk Radio

After hearing news of Tom DeLay’s indictment yesterday, I turned on Fox News, to get a feel for how the GOP establishment was going to try and spin this. And Neil Cavuto didn’t disappoint. He rounded up a few wall street analysts to discuss how much this would be bad for Wall Street (and by proxy, the economy, and by proxy, your job! bwa-ha-ha!). One of the analysts actually said, “well, it’s true Wall Street is scared that Hillary’s going to get elected and your taxes are going to go through the roof!”

Lord, these dudes are pathetic. On the positive side, they know they’re in a Code Red mess because they’re trying to counter-spin. Had this been a Code Yellow, they would have simply sent Geraldo and Greta to Aruba and gotten on with the day.

But as it was, they had this expert panel, who basically insinuated, “that’s right, Neil. If Tom DeLay goes to jail, then within hours your marginal tax rate will go to 90%, your retirement savings will vanish, your bible and flags will be confiscated and burned, and your children will be indoctrinated as homosexuals. Good Luck, Folks!!!”

Heh. and they talk of a “partisan witchhunt.” What a load of B.S.
