1. The thing that is so strange about this character is that the reason he shouldn't be on the Fed

has nothing to do with his diarrhea of the mouth and everything to do with his total lack of knowledge of economics. He still peddles trickle down every chance he gets.

6. "You could go back 30 years"

Uh Stephen? This little joke that you clearly get such a bang out of, wasn't 30 years ago, it was less than three years ago. I'm going to guess that the level of offensiveness in what you find humorous wasn't appreciably lower in 1990 than it is today.

4. More on his sense of "humor"

He apparently thinks bigotry is really funny.

when he appeared on Bill Maher. You could see on his face, he KNEW he was spouting bullshit. Must be a good living in it. Glad he's being exposed..
