Earth to Santelli: Shut the hell up

God, but this guy is a tin-eared demagogue.

CJR's Ryan Chittum takes Santelli to task for this latest attempt at self-inflation: appearing with G. Gordon Liddy to claim the White House has threatened him.

Santelli's a bonehead - and while I'll refer you to Chittum's takedown of his recent stupidity, I'd just like to revisit the original bag of stupid that started this mess:
Why don’t you put up a website to have people vote on the Internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the loser’s mortgages...?

How many of you want to pay for your neighbors mortgage that hasan extra bathroom and can't pay their bills? raise their hands!
...President Obama, are you listening?”

Now with a little typographic judo - we can redirect this back at Santelli:
Why don’t you put up a website to have people vote on the Internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the loser’s mortgages Wall Street's stupidity...?

How many of you want to pay for your neighbors mortgage that has an extra bathroom idiot bankers that have million-dollar bathrooms and can't pay their bills? raise their hands!

...President Obama Mr. Santelli, are you listening?”
I'd love to see Santelli's answer.
