Joe Scarborough Has A Question For Dylan Ratigan

By

Calm, cool and always collected D-Rat was tranquil as ever today when discussing too-big-to-fail and other hot button topics the Fast Money alumnus has a slight opinion on. After speaking for close to 6 minutes without taking a breath, Ratigan came up for air just long enough for some Donny Deutsch giggling and the question that host Joe Scarborough had been waiting to ask from the start: how many lines did you do before coming on today?

      Greggums,
      I know you are really busy this week picking up for Ms. Levin (I’m so proud of you), but would you be a dear and come home a little early so you can drain Mommy’s anal sac before her date tonight. You are a superstar!
      Love,
      Mom

      @ Source – a little shameless publicity is okay. Just don’t make a habit of it.

      Me thinks Susie Welch doth protest too much. D Rat was right on, and I believe ‘ol Jack Welch was exactly one of the charlatans D Rat was referring to.

      Why is Dy Ratigay on MJ today? To promote his show?
      If that’s the case,I suspect his show is not getting a lot viewers. I still prefer to watch Mark Haines and Erin Burnett.

      It appears the postings would stop here at 34. D Rat doesn’t have that mass appeal unlike others in NBCU

      @34 Erin Burnett, the future of NBC, does.
