An Ode To Rick Santelli

by Ryan Mallory

Over the years, CNBC has become less and less relevant to me throughout my typical trading day. The one thing though, that keeps me tuning in from time-to-time is the infamous Rick Santelli, who huffs and puffs about the state of our country and the politics that surround it, and working as the spokesman for the 'Silent Majority'. The guy is a treasure of brilliance and should be listend to a lot more.

Just check out today, when Merdith Whitney, called him and the Tea-Party folks "a bunch of angry white-men" (Santelli of which is considered by some the founder of the movement as you'll see below), instead of bowing at the alter to this over-glamorized diva, Santelli took her to task, and even held her accountable about about one of her predictions concerning the muni's - the guy is awesome.
