    John, Epi, Warty, Rev., Tulpa, Sloopy, Tony, Old Mex, Pro Lib, our visitor from pre-agrarian times, if you are around, what say you about Erin Burnett's ability to inspire the libido?

    1. John   14 years ago

      Erin is super cute. But I still have my thing for Mangu Ward. She is the Maryanne of Reason.

      1. The Angry RPh   14 years ago

        Who's the Ginger?

        1. -   14 years ago

          Episiarch.

    2. Sanity Clause   14 years ago

      I'd hit that. She seems a little ditzy, but she pulls it off, for a woman. However, being a little ditzy is not my idea of a good quality in a person that is supposed to be a serious journalist. She's just eye candy that can read a teleprompter.

      I saw her on Bill Maher once when she was still on CNBC. It was hard to believe that she was a professional business reporter with some of the responses she was giving. Anybody who spends that much time, professionally, around investors, should know a little more about business and finance than she seems to know.

      But at least she's not like Becky Quick who always seems to be slutting herself out to super rich investors like Warren Buffet and Steve Wynn.

      1. anonymous   14 years ago

        Erin Burnett is a moron, she was always extremely critical of Austrians like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul when she was with CNBC, go to youtube and type in 'Michael Pento Erin Burnett' and you'll see what I mean.

    3. Warty   14 years ago

      Katherine is way cuter. The CNN broad is either trying as hard as she can to be frumpy, or that's the best job the makeup crew could do on her.

      1. John   14 years ago

        Its the latter.

      2. John   14 years ago

        Katherine is the ultimate girl next door.

        1. -   14 years ago

          Katherine is the ultimate girl next door

          Creepy Index rising...

      3. AlmightyJB   14 years ago

        I didn't get ditzy or frumpy out of that.

    4. AlmightyJB   14 years ago

      I totslly want to have sex with Erin Burnett. She's a total babe.

    5. Nooge   14 years ago

      I wasn't invited, but I say give me Mango, or give me death.

  2. o3's hog leg   14 years ago

    she axing for it

  3. rather   14 years ago

    If you want to skip the tit and ass discussion, I have a facsimile of the reengineered drone here.

    1. Invisible Finger   14 years ago

      When you show up, it IS an ass discussion.

      1. rather   14 years ago

        you know where you can stick it, baby

  4. CapitalistRunningDog   14 years ago

    Wow, that CNN expert is a total dick. "Oh, just trust the government and bend over and take it." What a tool.

    1. Corey S.   14 years ago

      Yeah, I thought he was awful. Especially for a criminal defense attorney. He tried to claim that we can already tape the police in action, without mentioning how cops arrest or beat people who try to do so, even in states where it's legal. Just awful. Almost everything he said was wrong.

      Oh yeah, I almost forgot- Erin Burnett is hot.

  5. Dello   14 years ago

    I want a three-way.

  6. Gilbert Martin   14 years ago

    Erin Burnett used to be on CNBC.

    She should have stayed there.

    1. anonymous   14 years ago

      From her Wikipedia Page:

      "On December 16, 2011 Burnett was listed at number 4 on Salon.com's annual media "Hack List," stating that "CNN pinned its prime-time hopes on Burnett appealing to a mass audience. (If ratings are any indication, it's not working.)"

  7. Clone#70154   14 years ago

    DRONES IN THE ZONE!

  8. non   14 years ago

    How were drones going to catch the 9/11 terrorists when we didn't get them at the airport security checkpoint?

  9. Toasted   14 years ago

    If Erin loves organic and wants to employ people, I can be her chair.

  10. gdghd   14 years ago

  11. LuLu Rockwell   14 years ago

    Erin Burnett is a Banksta and a Wanksta
