All conservatives think about is how tragedy can get them more money and power
Posted by Jill | 6:55 AM

On the evening of September 11, 2001, disgraced financial pundit and cokehead Lawrence Kudlow appeared on CNBC, grinning from ear to ear, crowing gleefully about how the 9/11 attacks meant an end to all talk about a Social Security lockbox.

Nothing has changed.

Here is Faux News asshole Brit Hume answering fellow Faux News asshole Shepard Smith on the financial opportunities to be had from the corpses of 50 British commuters yesterday:

SMITH: Some of the things you might expect to happen, for instance, a drop in the stock market and some degree of uncertainty across this country -- none of that really seen today, and I wonder if the timing of it -- that it happened in the middle of the night and we were able to get a sense of the grander scheme of things -- wasn't helpful in all this.

HUME: Well, maybe. The other thing is, of course, people have -- you know, the market was down. It was down yesterday, and you know, you may have had some bargain-hunting going on. I mean, my first thought when I heard -- just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, "Hmmm, time to buy." Others may have thought that as well.


No, Mr. Hume, others did NOT think that as well -- at least not others that have even a little bit of human empathy. Only greedy pod people like YOU would think of the financial gains YOU can get from a tragedy instead of thinking of the victims alive and dead -- and their families.
