Defying Logic in Action

I was just looking at Morning Joe and there was a discussion between Pat Buchanan and Steven Pearlstein of the wall street journal and Mr. Buchanan was asking questions on the line of does it make sense to bail out the banks and not the automakers and the discussion went to another level of the reality light getting turned on. Mr. Buchanan started talking about how all the manufacturing jobs are going over seas and the auto workers who are out of a job are now working for Wal-Mart and not making nearly as much as they were and Mr. Pearlstein came back with the lamest response about how services going to be the job base and auto workers are considered unskilled workers blah, blah, blah and he never answered the underlying question which concerns income that is lost. He had absolutely no coherent logical response nothing but that grin on his face because he was being asked the questions that they (those like Mr. Pearlstein) don't want to face and answer. I hope a clip of that comes available today because I will surely post it. It was a classic light bulb comes on moment and reality kicking in.
