      Neal, you perverted little Oompa-Loompa, if you ever talk that way about evil despots accountable to no one again, I will have you murdered in your bed. Also, I'll crop you out of the Christmas card.
      Love, Rupert M.

      How can anyone legitimately watch Cavuto's show? It's a complete joke. He even says as he ridicules it, "I don't even know what a Great Lakes czar does." And then he runs this suckerfish line/pic repeatedly. Dude... are you trying to prove you have no clue what you're on about? If so, well done.

      And by the way, sell-out pervert, who do you think started this czar business anyway?

      Sure you want to keep bringing up the sucker fish since you bear a striking resemblance to one?

      And speaking of crazs... I nominate Cavuto as the Moron Craz.
      He won't have to move to Washington to oversee the other morons---they're all right there at FOX.

      Oh, Fox News ... Nothing like a free-shot, no refereee, just take pot-shots on Obama. What a load of crap. "Mother Russia"? "More coming" ... "Are they coming for you"? Puhlease!

      Man, these guys are coming off 8 years of a free ride and now they're scared.

      Hey, maybe if Cavuto's boy Bush hadn't bailed out those companies, we wouldn't have to worry about them misusing friggin' taxpayer $$, you nitwit!

        This is this last week's talking point. I heard Rush blathering on about it for hours on Friday. He had some caller on the show, who was saying something along the lines of, "Well, back in Russia, they had less Czars than Obama has now, this doesn't look good for our country at all."

        Forgetting their history about what Czars were in Russia and all, but never you mind, they had Czars, Obama has Czars, must be a part of a commie conspiracy to change the US to a dictatorship, or something like that.

        I fully expect this BS to be on full display this week. I've already heard it from friends of mine. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Bush, and every President in recent memory, have these "czars"?

        Bush had a:
        War Czar
        WTC Czar
        Drug Czar
        AIDS/HIV Czar
        Privacy Czar
        Food safety Czar
        Cyber security Czar
        Regulatory Czar
        Manufacturing Czar
        Intelligence Czar
        Bird Flu Czar
        Katrina Czar

        And those are just a few that I could find, and NOW all of a sudden, it's a problem?

        The other knee slapper I heard the other day, was about how Obama was extending and increasing the idea of, and practice of executive power. Again, are these guys kidding me? We just came off of the most powerful power grabbing executive in the White House ever, and now they're complaining about Obama's czars? These are strange times indeed.

        If Obama is extending executive power, and there is no evidence that he is, then he needs to back it down, but since he's not, it's a moot point. Bush/Cheney opened the door for a unitary executive, and now these a-holes are complaining that Obama might take advantage of it? Guess what? You guys should have thought about it being precedent when Bush was doing it.

          Nicely summed up. I would add that the first use of "czars" in the US was the Drug Czar in 1982, under Ronald Reagan. Cavuto: Why would St. Ronnie delegate an "evil despots accountable to no one"?

            Thing is, I'm not exactly crazy about all of these czar type positions either, I mean, what's the point in having a cabinet if you're going to appoint people to head up things that your cabinet is supposed to be heading up?

            The biggest problem I have, is these guys acting like this is something new and sinister, when it's really not in the least that at all.

      Did anyone catch Cavuto stating "from the sucker fish to the sucker's who invested in these banks"? It comes around 2:04 remaining. Interesting comment to call us suckers for investing in the banks.
