Tony the Idiot on CNN (Part 23)
Once again, Tony's on a roll. They have a new, pretty woman sitting next to him, but...undaunted, Tony continues to act like, well, an idiot.

Today's example: He's interviewing this guy who sez that it's our thinking process which limits the amount of money we can make. That our surrounding folks who've influenced us over the years basically program us with our attitudes towards money, and we adopt these principles and make the same mistakes as it were. Not totally unreasonable.

Tony, of course, is incredulous. He shakes his head and is accusatory - paraphrasing: You're not saying that everyone can be a millionaire are you? It's just not going to happen.

Then they show a pic of Bill Gates, assuming that you're either poor, or worth 14 Billion dollars. What idiocy.

this is the most hapless program on CNN...and that's saying a lot.

1. CNN was at one time a 'news' channel. Now it's clueless.
Infotainment at it's worse. Now they are giving 'marriage' tips. Gee, it's so informative....this was the segue from Nicole Kidman marrying Keith Urban, as if anyone gave a shit.

Alex Witt on MSNBC just said: I don't know why I like this couple - (Nicole Kidman and her new husband)...so much...gee, I really hope they make it.

Does she mean 'make it', like survive as a couple? Or did she mean 'make it' like making it..nudge nudge wink wink.

Wotta buch of assholes...
