irreality

Remember CNBC reporter Rick Santellii?  He’s the guy you may have seen on tv, ranting on the floor of the stock market, arguing against the $275 billion mortgage bailout.

Apparently Rick had agreed to come on Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show”, but then canceled at the last minute.  Jon changed things up and instead of scheduling another guest, he delivered a scalding commentary on Wall Street’s hypocritical opposition to the homeowner bailout and on CNBC themselves.

You can watch the 8 minute clip here, thanks to Consumerist.com.

Jon Stewart on CNBC, Rick Santelli

It is a sad commentary on the state of the Nation and the Media when it takes a commedian to point out the foolishness that has been taking place.
