    I'm think the love/hate for the ivy league occupy the same space. I see it less as a spectrum and more a venn diagram with general populous sitting rather firmly in the overlap. The MSM, on the other hand, is so in the tank for the ivy league, they can't help but care about and run countless stories about them, while also taking advantage of the public's desire to see the rich/elite behave like everybody else and worse.

    Meanwhile, the people in the "love" category can sit back and tell themselves "They hate us for our freedoms" and be done with it.

    Robert Langdon copied and pasted the little paragraph from the bilious website into his text editor. Why Good Morning America? His hand, trembling, moved the mouse, clicked, and hit the space-bar. Suddenly, it was all clear: Suze Or man. "She’s a man, baby!" he screamed. It was the beginning of an investigation that would lead him into the dark underworld of Roman Catholic intersex lesbian financial advising.

    I only know this from TVNewser and had to look for her twitter, so please don't think any less of me, but Orman has been heavily campaigning to win the Mediabistro poll since the beginning.

    Yes, but I'll take Suze's perkily reassuring lez face on TV in the morning before I'll take Jim Cramer's.

    @blix: Right -- Powter never bothered to explain what to do when you finally do "stop the madness"...and wind up just feeling empty inside.

    I saw his CNN interview. Listening to him when he was talking reminded me of how smart he is and how much he fucked up. I REALLY liked listening to his thoughts until they talked about his personal life.


    When he said, "I'm only human and I have flaws..." I wanted to vomit.


    I have flaws too but they don't involve hookers. There is such a thing as perspective Eliot. PERSPECTIVE. It would be like Jack the fucking Ripper saying, "Well I'm only human and I did things with hookers too!" He had that teensy tiny flaw of disemboweling them.


    SHEESH.

    I want Krugman as Treasury Secretary, but only because I like the fact that he carries a nerdy black backpack.

    I like the idea. I think Spitzer got a bad rap, and probably could have been doing a better job than Paterson is doing. True, what he was doing was illegal, but seriously? In politics there deffinitely is the existance of the lesser of two evils.
