“We’re going to take a commercial break and get them out of the way, so that when something really substandard is happening, we don’t have to interrupt them.” – CNBC’s Mark Haines (right at the end of the YouTube) following the inadvertent release to a national audience of this Ron Paul summary of the historical basis for the present financial crisis.

substantive not substandard

You are right, I’m sure that’s what he meant to say- especially since something substandard is always happening in Congress- you don’t have to wait for that to happen. : )

OK, so who slipped up, overeager bloggers like me or CNBC?

Perhaps I am naive, but I was watching at the time, and felt the barbs were aimed at all the congressmen present; not one in particular. You’ve got my vote for accuracy, Mark’s the one that slipped.
I wish more people like myself voted for Ron Paul.
manfre, i agree. i am fastly becoming a ron paul convert. he appears to be one of the few in congress not taking peyote breaks in the bathroom.
It might be just childlike… or childish… of me, but when I see Ron Paul sitting alongside all those other politicians, I can’t help but think of that old jingle from Sesame Street: (paraphrased)
“One of these guys is NOT like the others, one of these guys just doesn’t belong…”
It would be great to see him in the White House where his ideas could see the light of day while they might still do some good, rather than buried in the same-o same-o cesspool he has to operate in now.
In 5-10 years, he will have had a lot more supporters than he does now. (As in people saying, “Yeah, I just knew he was right all along!” Kind of like all the people on the AZRepublic boards and realtors who just KNEW that the prices would be coming down all along.)
Makes me want to BARF! (And I don’t mean a gov’t program!)
It will be too late by then Asset Hunter – Ron Paul lost the battle of ideas. People were more swayed by the sentiment of class warfare than the ideal of freedom, and voted in line with the demonization of the folks who already pay most of the taxes in this country.
By the time Obama leaves office after years with a cooperative party-line congress, the federal budget will have doubled or more, and government will be confiscating more of GDP than it does in the EU. (Heck, they managed to increase it up to even with that level in less than two months!) And we all know how successful people are at shrinking the government – not. Can you imagine trying to get rid of socialized medicine after it’s implemented? Not a chance. Shrinking the billions in funding to programs which have nothing to do with stimulating the economy under the “stimulus” bill? Nope – this train has left the station, you can look forward to dramatically higher taxation, regulation, and unemployment going forward indefinitely.
