He was appalled that these people could be so cavalier under such desperate circumstances. Then he interviewed some toady he found under a Tea Party toadstool who agreed with everything he had just said.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, the Washington set was scheduled to be out of town for all of next week until President Obama shamed them into changing their plans. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, declared that the Senate would be open for business Tuesday, and for the remainder of the week. It was on the President&#8217;s initiative that Congress was called back into service immediately after the Independence Day hiatus.<\/p>\n<p>So Congress will not be taking their customary holiday to celebrate the Fourth of July. They will simply be off for the weekend and the fourth to be with their families and constituents, then right back to work on Tuesday. And this has gotten Cavuto&#8217;s knickers in a knot.<\/p>\n<p>What came next made this already asinine whining ever more stupefying. Cavuto introduced the panel of business commentators that he would normally be hosting tomorrow morning on Saturday&#8217;s <em>&#8220;The Cost of Freedom&#8221;<\/em> program on Fox News. The reason he hosted this panel today is because the program is being preempted tomorrow to make way for special coverage of the Casey Anthony murder trial.<\/p>\n<p>So Cavuto rails against the President for allegedly neglecting our nation&#8217;s economic emergency (even though Obama was responsible for pressuring everyone to come back to work early), while Cavuto and Fox News cast the crisis aside in favor of tabloid coverage of a trial that will have no effect whatsoever on the economy or anything else of national importance.<\/p>\n<p>What a revealing demonstration of twisted priorities and hypocrisy. What a callous and insufferable clown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neil Cavuto opened his program today by chastising the President and Congress for taking the holiday weekend off in the midst of a looming and unsolved debt crisis.
