A shout-out to Keith Boykin

The man just endured 28 minutes on CNBC's Power Lunch defending unions. Imagine - defending little people on "Power Lunch"! On CNBC, fawning fan of Billionaires! Hard to think of a more thankless task. Mr Boykin faced the withering scorn (if not intelligible thinking) of all the usual suspects (MCC, Kneale) with great aplomb.

Speaking of MCC (Michelle Caruso-Cabrera) - she continues to outstrip the pack as the single most loathsome female CNBCer. In fact, her lead is growing. Has gained new wind (iness) of late, as she's chanelling her inner Friedman, uber-Wall St bull, and innate and existential nastiness. Her advantage? She's far, far meaner than equally clueless and ideological hostesses such as Regan and Francis. (At least those two can smile instead of merely grimmacing, and have a Q rating in positive territory). In fact, MCC is fast getting close to leading the whole CNBC pack of fools - alpha dogs included. Is actually nearing Kudlow. Has caught up to Bowyer and Luskin.. Long ago surpassed Kneale and Santelli....
