Kudlow is going to be the economic advisor, replacing Cohn. At least, Cohn was competent in commercial finance. In Kudlow we get another 70–year-old TV personality to defend boneheaded decisions in the media.
We'll see. I think the opportunity is not about teaching the world anything. Rather, it's about learning how to spew out bullshit instead of swallowing it.
From the great New York reporter Wayne Barrett (writing in 2010):
An unrepentant superstar champion of what the Senior George Bush referred to “the voodoo economics” of spend-and-slash-taxes, Kudlow does so much radio and TV that he can’t be held responsible for a thing he says, like endorsing bailouts when Junior Bush does them and banging them when Obama does. Bernie Sanders went on his show in 2008 to call him a socialist for supporting the Bush bailout and now he calls bailouts “socialism lite” himself. The coke is gone, but the head is still spinning. https://www.villagevoice.com/2010/01/21/barrett-larry-kudlow-sniffs-around-for-more-political-power/
