Doctor Howard Dean got a new job! He will be a “regular contributor” on CNBC, the important business channel which features idiots screaming at each other all day as the stock market does whatever it does — up some days, down some days, etc. Today he did a guest-hosting deal, on some CNBC show. Maybe he’s on right now, who knows! You see, only idiots watch CNBC. It’s a place for cocaine addicts and self-hating day traders and insane old people who think they can “beat the market” and actual retarded people who grab the phone away from the nurse and yell “BOO-YAH.” In other teevee shout-y news, Chris Matthews will be on MSNBC for another four years, which means he won’t be running for the Senate or whatever.

He looks remarkably like VA Tech football coach Frank Beamer in that picture.
I dunno. I never watch the Teevee. Rots your brains. Not like, say, Youtube, with its teeming masses making videos of their favorite cats having a good hurl.

“choo choo!”
I’ve got an idea for fishing show hosted by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. It would be held entirely on a small fishing boat on a lake, and the two would discuss their analysis of current events with some tips on what lures bring the best results and miscellaneous fishing equipment reviews interspersed.
Oh good. Everyone knows that Dean is the most intelligent person in the world and he will contribute much to punditry because punditry is the most important source of information that human people can rely on and that is a fact and I am very happy to see this and this is great and now I will watch two people scream at each other on tee vee for hours about subjects they know nothing about and this is America and that is part of America and.
…only idiots watch CNBC. It’s a place for cocaine addicts and self-hating day traders and insane old people who think they can “beat the market” and actual retarded people…
They’ll all be watching to see how long it takes Dean to yell out Heyahhhh!!!!
Amway + meth = amateur day traders.
[re=271021]Serolf Divad[/re]: Now who would hold the TELEPROMPTER?
Buy Bear Stearns! Buy! Yeeeearrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Actually, I think it’s a good fit.
[re=271021]Serolf Divad[/re]: Fishing with John Lurie.
It’s been done. The Tom Waits episode is good.
[re=271024]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Ernest Hemingway?
[re=271024]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Wrong. Ron Paul is the most intelligent person in the world and he drives a Fiat.
[re=271029]BillyClubb[/re]: Angela Davis and the ghost of Herbert Marcuse.
[re=271029]BillyClubb[/re]: Aquaman, obvs.
Congratulations, Howard Dean, on finding work with CNBC immediately after it becomes thoroughly discredited.
They’re just following the political markets. Buy low on Howard Dean! He can’t become more irrelevant, can he? The answer is yes.
Booyah is his beat.
Are there no adults in charge in CNBC?
[re=271026]BillyClubb[/re]: As long as Becky Quick and Carmen Wong Ulrich remain hot, there will be a reason to watch CNBC (albiet with the sound off).
[re=271036]BillyClubb[/re]: And incorporated without reference and yes and. Also.
[re=271046]Internally valid[/re]: But didn’t Dean’s despised 50-state strategy get Hopey elected?
Of course it helps to run against Chimpy, but still…
If Barry had hired him to be in his administration, poor Howie wouldn’t have to sell his soul like this. And, yes, I’m too lazy to read the article but isn’t Dean’s thing being a Dr. or a politician? What the hell wisdom is he going to impart on CNBC?
And 4 more years of Chris Matthews. Yikes!
Good Job, Jon Stewart!
Level the claim that hedge funds and various trading enterprises game the market for their own gain while news organizations knowlingly let it slide, and what do you get? A left-wing host who is a medical doctor by trade, not even a Krugmanite.
Maybe next time.
I hope he yells stuff about the “50 state strategy” while they said shit like “NETSCAPE IS A DOG WITH FLEAS…SELL SELL SELL!!!!!!!!!!!!”
[re=271037]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Weird. He’s against fiat currency but drives a fiat car?
what ii want to know is, who does becky quick fantasize about when autoeroticises?
How come Carmen Wong Ulrich, doesn’t have a fan club website? She’s a hotty, as well as a great looking MILF!
I don’t care how dumb she is or how many stupid things she says (and they are legion,) Erin Burnett still trumps all. Nothing wrong with the others, but EB is teh hawtness. Especially on Bill Maher’s show a few weeks ago. Didn’t bother listening, just enjoyed the look & the fancy clothes.
Ok – serious(!) question time: WTF does the Hopey Admin have against Chairman Governor Doctor Dean? Has the WH found a Surgeon General yet? Isn’t that the perfect sinecure for a former party leader who just happens to be a M.D.? What happened – did Howie try to get a taste of Michelle’s brown sugar? Did Howie call Obama a ‘darkie’ or Obama call Dean a ‘cracker’? Are they both bitter rivals for Chelsea Clinton’s maidenhead? I’d thought this appointment would’ve been a done deal already!
