Dylan Ratigan

Wow is anyone else impressed by this new host on MSNBC right now. Sorry I don't have video to show you

[AllieB]

1. Is he a wingnut? I had to mute the TV to take a phone call.

It looks like Ed was arguing with him so I assume he's conservative???

[malaise]

2. Gawd he's loud

and sounds like an anti-government right wing hack.

[Thrill]

3. No. He use to be on CNBC

[loyalkydem]

4. I didn't get the sense

That he was right wing. He and Ed really did get into a heated debate about this. But so far I can't tell if he's conservative.

5. He is an Obstructionist A$$$

Not with my children money...not from a Chinese banker......TALKING POINTS RIGHT FROM MIKE STEELES fax machine....



How about we end the occupation of Iraq that our children will be paying for and we are borrowing money from that Chinese banker...that alone would pay for HEALTHCARE....


He is just another Joe Scarborough.

6. who is he? his name sounds familiar... is he a wingnut?

he def looks like one, he is too loud and don't let others speak.

[The River]

7. I Had To Hit Mute

what a loud mouth blow hard.....

[Parker CA]

8. +1 to posts 5, 6, & 7. Total gas bag. Ed is a loud talker, and this guy was shouting over Ed. It

would have been great to segue to "Psycho Talk" and simply reply Ratigan's side of the conversation they just concluded.

9. his new show starts on msnbc monday right after mourning ho 8am cst

[bertman]

10. The guy was a raving lunatic spouting right-wing anti-health reform propaganda.

"Do you want some government bureaucrat between you and your doctor?" Excuse me, Ratturd, but we ALREADY have our insurance company between us and our doctors.

I was really disappointed that Ed got into the fast-talk, shouting match mode with him instead of enumerating all of the reasons that Ratface was wrong.

[K Gardner]

11. Impressed?? Did you hear what he said? "Not everyone in America deserves the best health

care..not at the expense of MY children and a Chinese banker..", etc.

MSNBC is now completely unwatchable until 8 pm. He's a bloviating showboater, like Scarborough.

[HughBeaumont]

12. The Commissioner?

The joke is, I'm not kidding. That was his nickname on CNBC.

Politically, I think he's a moderate surrounded, of course, by Reaganites like Larry Kudlow, Pete Najarian, Jeff Macke and CNBC's cutest water-carrier for the aristocracy, Erin Burnett. He left CNBC in a disagreement with Susan Krakower, VP of Strategic Development.

13. He's on Morning Joe a lot. That should be telling. nt

[global1]

14. He Was Talking Out Of Both Sides Of His Mouth Re: Rationing......

saying that a government system would ration health care so it is not good then on the other hand he was saying that we've lost control of our health care system because it utilizes too much testing, technology, etc. The guy is a complete idiot. I don't think he'll last long on his own show.
