Larry Kudlow's new show on CNBC should be called "Echo Chamber," one of the most boring collection of "yes men" ever gathered in one place. When he was paired with Jim Cramer, the show was good--in fact the best financial show on the air---but in true corporate burlesque, fourth place NBC promoted Kudlow til he arrived at the point of cluelessness; a man completely untrained, either by experience or education, to do sixty minutes of television.

Jim Cramer's new show is tough to take because listening to him scream for 60 minutes is like listening to a speech by Fidel Castro---in Yiddish. He has also been promoted to the point of maximum incompetence, but he, at least, is not afraid of other POVs.
