Entitlement Apocolypse? - CNBC.com

Tonight I was on the Larry Kudlow show on CNBC, debating entitlements with the diminutive but crafty former Labor Secretary Robert Reich. One would think that my natural rudeness would make me well-suited for the "Jane, you ignorant slut" format of TV news, but for whatever reason I find it hard to interrupt enough. Next time I'll just talk straight through the segment, regardless of what everybody else does.

I think that would be a big mistake. Overall you came across as authoritative and level-headed precisely because you didn't interrupt and your points were always substantive. You did well.
