Return Of The Concern Trolls

1:53 am EST June 1st, 2007 | News | 5 Comments

Former drug addict, Reagan administration official and tv host Larry Kudlow is concerned that Democrats are moving too far to the left, want to concede to Al Qaeda, steal from the rich blah blah blah the same old tired crap we’ve been hearing for 30 years or so in America.

Do conservatives ever stop dispensing "advice"? Their party is in retreat, ripping itself apart in a spectacle, with a president who’s approval rating hits 30% only on the best of days and yet these guys still swear up and down that they’re so smart they’ve got to give out advice.

It’s intriguing that my most vivid memories of Larry Kudlow were from my days of watching a ton of CNBC during the tech bubble. Even when it had become clear that sure, the underlying economy was strong, the dotcoms were built on a sea of lies. Yet Kudlow repeatedly cheerleaded, insisting that the rules had changed and profits didn’t matter.

Yeah, that’s the guy who should be offering advice.

    Larry Kudlow is a joke as an Economist and as a pundit.

    He has a syndicatred radio program on saturday mornings here in NYC, and his endlessly rosy pollyanna opinions on the Economy, even on things that are factually HUGE problems such as the mountain of debt under Supply-side economics and our incredible gap in trade with the Far East are just waved away.

    He’s good for laughs, and little more than that.

    I’m not gonna pay one cent to the Times. What’s the story about Krudler’s drug addiction?

    Can he point to one liberal who has actually said any of that bullshit? Not the imaginary “Beautiful Mind” type liberals, but an actual living person?

    How do these people get on TV and radio?

    They balance out the glaring left-wing bias of the rest of the media!

    Or it might be the sensical, reasonable, intelligent bias. Whatever. Balance.
