Rick Santelli was just a pimp for a pre-orchestrated corporate funded fake movement. The first Tea Party protests were already planned before he ever made his famous "rant".
If the world were fair, the only reaction to him would have been "God, what an asshole." People acting like he was making some sage-like observation about the American Dream, when in reality all he was doing was belittling people who were losing their homes and trying to portray the upper-income financial workers he surrounded himself with as regular people instead of the dickheads who helped wreck the economy.
As you can probably tell, the fact that this extended brain-fart of his is still remembered pisses me off to no end.
That child will grow up to be a fine, upstanding young teapublican, and if he's lucky be voted "most likely to be convicted of a hate crime" by his high-skool class.
