yeah the nobs on this side of the drink have gotten wind of this as well so he's been on the corporate republican news circuit: hannity, beck, morning joe, etc. They all look uncomfortable when he explains he supported obama in the election but then are quick to cozy up to him when he starts to criticize the brown/obama bailout. I would have been even more impressed with this cat if he had actually said, look man, it was your stupid imperialism and corporate/government fascist model that started this mess.

but oh well. I guess the likes of hannity will come out of this economic bust looking like a folk hero, not the tool he's been for 8 years.
