CNBC’s Larry Kudlow defends corporate greed in debate with TP’s Faiz Shakir.

Last night on CNBC, ThinkProgress editor-in-chief Faiz Shakir debated CNBC host Larry Kudlow about a front-page story in the Wall Street Journal which revealed that the CEOs of banks receiving government bailout money are expensing travel on private jets for personal vacations. “I think it’s great because I want to stimulate the economy,” Kudlow said of taxpayer-funded private jet trips by bank CEOs. “I want to help the resorts. … I’m glad the CEOs are going around. I just wish they’d take me with them.” Faiz responded:

I do have a problem when they’re taking taxpayer money. Larry, you hate paying taxes. I understand that. But if there’s one thing you hate more than paying taxes, it’s seeing those taxpayer dollars go to waste. And that’s what’s going on here.

2. Yes, Kudlow is an idiot.

He is unable to distinguish corporate profit from a sound economy. That's just one of his several major difficulties he suffers from.

3. He's such a complete idiot that I just switch the channel immediately

He's a right-wing whacko

4. And he has the most whiny, petulant voice.

You just know he was the kind of kid who stole other kids' lunches and squashed bugs for fun.

7. And LOUD! That grating voice cuts over

all the discussion when he interrupts or wants to make his point. And he's pompous too.

5. I believe Kudlow made most of his money with Bear Stearns...

before they were bailed out? He was one of the original schemers.
