Larry Kudlow, as you may have noticed, is for some reason obsessed with Larry Summers taking over for Ben Bernanke. Is this because LK just loves the idea of having a "Chairman Larry"? Did Summers make Kuds a promise back in their Studio 54 days that if he ever got the job, he'd commission the printing of a stack of special edition hundos with Kudlow's face on them* through which the two would do seemingly endless lines off the president's desk? It's unclear. But does buddy boy have a point? And if not, why not?
*Early in Bernanke's tenure L-Kud approached him about this but was brutally rebuffed. Kuds knew better than to ask Greenspan, who had a hard and fast policy of only printing special edition bills bearing the mugs of his favorite Hill bitches.

You know anything about running an independent quasi government entity? Wanna help me control the currency and reserve system here? No? I could use a little help. I need a little assistance. I never took a economics class, and I need a little help. Ok, I'm just coming flat out and saying 'help me'. Anybody want to help a semi-retarded individual run the Fed? 25, 30 dollars. 30 dollars to run the Fed. 35 dollars to run the Fed right now. I'll give you 10 dollars for a verbal response. 10 dollars. Anybody want to make 10 dollars and respond verbally? No?

LK respects Arthur Laffer's opinion. Nuff said.

Posted by guest , Jun 23, 2009 12:18PM
Kudlow: I am not obsessed with asses.
Summers: Ok, assy. And what is all that shit all over your shirt? You been scrounging around, looking for ass?

Considering LK had a coke problem, this is in poor taste.

I would LOVE a stack of hundos with Larry's face on them.

Who here thinks Summers would actually do a worse job than Double-B?

P.S. In fact, ANYONE currently involved in the FedSystem would do a worse job than BB.
Hey, let's get Karl Denninger on the potential list of FedSystem Chairman.

Larry converted to Catholicism from Judaism a number of years ago so he could actually GO to hell. Delighted to be rid of him.

@16
But his dentist converted to Judaism for the jokes, so Larry became an anti-dentite

LK was probably tons more fun when he was on the blow...media must be the only industry in which having "Rehab" on your resume is considered a credential

If that crackhead supports him, it's one more reason he shouldn't be allowed within a mile of the Fed's headquarters.

except that Treasury prints the money and not the Fed.

@20 christ, it was a joke, 1 and 2 we're not talking about the body that literally prints the money.
