Aired Monday night on NBC: Hey, before we begin, I want to warn people in Nigeria who might be watching our show. If you get any emails from Washington asking for money, it’s a scam.
As you know, the bailout was voted down, and people are stunned. Nancy Pelosi was so shocked, if she could have made a facial expression, she would have.
I guess the big problem was the plan came in two parts and they couldn’t agree on which part to implement first, the smoke or the mirrors.
Today at CNBC, they said without a bailout, consumers wouldn’t be able to get credit cards at favorable rates. Oh, that takes some getting used to, huh? You mean they’ve been spoiling us with that low 30% interest?
And once again, you know, President Bush, God bless him, nice man, but I don’t think he understands the gravity of this situation. Like when someone told him WaMu went under, he said, “Well, that’s O.K, he’s a whale.”
This crisis has actually affected the way children play. Like when kids play Monopoly now, the dumbest kid is the banker.
I’ll give you an idea how bad the economy is. I wrote a $5 check over the weekend. The check was good, the bank bounced.
I’ll give you an idea of how bad the dollar is. Went to buy gold. They said, “You can only buy it with gold.”
In fact, the guy in the Rolls-Royce with the Grey Poupon had to switch to French’s mustard.
