"In their 2015 book Superforecasting, UPenn political scientists Philip E. Tetlock and Dan Gardner refer to talking head Larry Kudlow as a "consistently wrong" pundit, and use Kudlow's long record of failed predictions to clarify common mistakes that poor forecasters like him make."

According to publicly available information, this decrepit defender of the oligarchs has a net worth of $5m and he has earned around $800,000 per year as a blathering TV tumor. Larry Kudlow has also made an additional $100,000 to $200,000 per year from paid speeches and consulting work.

Wow.

Who pays this incompetent triple loser so much money for terrible information?

Meanwhile, NYC's first Muslim mayor, the dynamic Democrat Zohran Mamdani, attended Eid ceremonies wearing an Arsenal UK Football Club-themed robe, his favorite soccer team and recent Premier League champions. His Honor was joined in the Bronx by fellow Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the popular and effective Congresswoman representing NYC's 14th CD.

We can't even imagine what the Big Apple would be like today if either of these two Jurassic Age losers were elected over Democrat Zohran Mamdani last year.

Perish forbid.

'Morning Doc Sarvis:

Larry Kudlow's making beaucoup money like a secular televangelist.

Remarkable.

BTW: You are so right about that CIA story becoming a perfect film for the Coen brothers. Having been in the USIC and being routinely polygraphed and scrutinized by CI agents, it's quite unfathomable to me how that fellow got away with this for so long at CIA HQ.

A few years ago a CIA Clandestine Services Officer was finally caught overseas for being a serial date rapist.
The Mexican police nabbed him and the USDJ basically threw away the key when he was sentenced.

And the USIC folks I knew didn't discuss how many times they applied to CIA, NSA, DIA etc.

Three times is a lot because the vetting process is lengthy and expensive.

The chit-chat in the smoking areas revolved around the dreaded polygraph that we all went must go through every five years, not how many times someone was turned down.
