If one thing bears repeating from yesterday’s showdown on Capitol Hill, it’s this. Representative Michael Capuano’s insane (but awesome) tirade, an interpretive dance of righteous indignation that had even Maxine Waters gaping in awe, and making a mental note to approach MP after the hearing with a two-world plea: “teach me.” The only thing that could possibly–possibly– make this thing better would be to splice it together with this.

    I legitimately thought the Capo was going to have a stroke right then and there? Geez, buddy go have another fuckin lobster roll.
    On an unrelated note, does anyone know who that Christopher Romer fellow is? The CNBC guys were talking to him earlier?

    Erin Burnett is the classic smart girl who’s really a ditz – book smart enough to go to Williams, and can sounds serious and look good on TV, but if you spend enough time listening to her, she’s a lot more dumb than she’s given (dis)credit for

    The video left out the best part, where he says, “I don’t actually have a question, but I’m entitled to my minutes, so I’m going to use it.”

    I wonder what Chaz Gaspacini is doing to Capo under the desk.

    I like the turbo tax commercial, I wonder if Geit filled his taxes after reading DB….

    @2
    I agree. At this point I must say someone is handing talking points to Erin and she finds a way to spit them out. That’s not really smart.

    Is he wearing a short sleeve shirt with a tie and jacket?

    If you don’t want to suffer the televised tirades of elected officials, don’t lose billions and ask for taxpayer replacement money. Simple as that.

    Apparently this idiot who thinks CDS and SIVs are illegal (in his opinion!) voted to make them legal:

    What’s in the water in MA? Are the elected officials from MA all so emotional? Where were they when TK drove off the bridge with his girlfriend?

    You would think with the 8 million colleges in MA that at least accidentally they would elect better people than him and Spitty.
    Spitty is so nervous he has taken out commercial time to say – “Things suck but they would suck a lot worse if it was not for me”. His words.

    With the 8 million institutions of higher learning in MA that even by accident they would elect a more intelligent dope than he and Spitty.
    Spitty is so nervous he has taken out commercials saying, “I know things suck but they would suck a lot worse if it wasn’t for me”.

    Capuano is such a moron. Why idiots like this get elected will always amuse me.

    We have become a National Lampoon, a glorius Banana Republic. And to think the entire world is watching this circus. The Cohen Brothers couldn’t write material like this if they tried. And it proves what I have been thinking all along. The lobbyists have been running the show since the 80′s, these clowns are fronts for the real policymakers.

    @16, well they certainly weren’t educated as children.

    @15 – reminds me of the eposide of South Park where the aliens decide to cancel the reality show “Earth.”

    What do you mean by “insane”? He is perfectly right. There is something seriously wrong with YOUR brain if spelling out an unpleasant truth seems insane to you.
