Looks like David Gergen isn't done pimping for Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson yet. Gergen uses what's going on in Ireland right now as as excuse to tell Americans that we had better get ready for some "tough medicine" once the deficit commission comes out with their report next week and of course that "medicine" should start with going after Social Security. Heaven forbid the rich should have to pay back the government for those tax cuts. Gergen apparently thinks the peons should be paying for their excesses.

MALVEAUX: On Wall Street, investors did not buy into the excitement over Black Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial average was down 95 points when the closing bell rang earlier at 1:00 p.m. today. Now, I'll explain the slight in stock prices on worries about Europe's growing debt crisis. We're going to see new action next week to try to slash the federal deficit in this country. I want to bring in our senior political analyst, David Gergen, to talk a little bit about that.

Happy Thanksgiving, David. The president's bipartisan deficit commission are going to be releasing their formal recommendations next week. A lot has been leaked already and people are not happy about hearing the retirement age going up, Social Security benefits going down...

3. Well, David Gergen can bite ME!

[laughingliberal]

5. I love how the ruling class is so ready to see the poor and marginal start sacrificing.

And the President is all about how 'we' have to make tough choices. Of course by 'we' he means us lesser people. He's busily finding ways to be more friendly to 'bidness.'

6. A rare morning I was scanning news during ads in a movie..

They had a Sr Fellow from the Brookings Institute on CNN talking about how they have to cut SS and Medicare followed by an analyst (didn't see from where) why we absolutely could not cut military and black ops spending because the evildoers were everywhere.

Callers called in dutifully echoing the lies that were disseminated in church the last few Sundays. Upset my stomach that that Comcast calls this "news" when it is propaganda designed to continue the transfer of wealth out of the middle class to the elite.

7. Fuck you, David Gergen

If I were being paid absurd amounts of money to write nonsense, I wouldn't have to worry about SS reductions, either.

Obama needs more republicons in the whitehouse to show bipartisanship like Clinton...Meaning him.

8. But ..But .. social security will be insolvent by 2037, we must hurry..

9. One more whining useless sociopathic shitstain

He and the overpaid fraudsters he's pimping for can pay for their own crisis.

[TheKentuckian]

10. What is the audience to pundit equivalent of a swirly?

Dunk and flush that big ole mellon!

[tibbiit]

11. I'll bite the bullet if the

pukes friends on wallstreet bite the bullet with no bonuses.

[City Lights]

12. FTS. It's time the MIC bit the bullet.

:thumbsdown:

13. Always the putz, forever shilling for his overlords.

That's why he gets to be on the teevee. I wonder if he'll have a deathbed revelation, like Lee Atwater?

Propagandist promoting stealing from the poor and weak to feed the already bloated rich seems just as dirty as anything Atwater ever did, but I bet he passes smugly with no regrets -- he's probably been promised a prominent position in Hell as well.
