Big Media Me

I'll be on CNBC's "On The Money" tonight from 7:30-40 Eastern, talking about the President's health care plan.

I hope somebody records this and youtubes it!

Watch out, Ezra, CNBC is Bush territory.

No offense, but... this is how deep they had to dig to find someone, anyone who thinks it's a bad idea??

Big props. Nice job, but the host is 20 different kinds of awful.

I just watched it. Excellent job. E. It's always good to hear someone on TV say, "That's not true!" Which you said twice. My favorite bit was when the host said, 'I didn't say Dems didn't have a plan. I said, do they have a plan." Hee hee.

Not sure about the make up, though. You looked like the love child of George Hamilton and a carrot.

davidmizner: hehe Shame on you!

Jim, it was short and superficial, even for TV. By the time I got comfy on the couch it was over. I wasn't even sure who the other talking head was--was he a conservative? It was clear that E was the only one of the three who knew what the fuck he/she was talking about. The other 2 were under the impression that Arnold's plan was DOA, and that no Dems had presented a plan. And I should say that despite the questionable make up, E presented as a fine looking young man.

ty, david, for the update

You were good, the host was a bobble-head, but one crucial question remains: were you wearing fleece?

Nice job. It has to be very difficult debating people you can hear but not see. It would have been better if you all could have been in the same studio.

As for the content, you knew more then the person you were debating, and you knew a ton more then the host, she was just awful.
