Larry Kudlow Annihilates Bernanke; Bunning Goes FED Headhunting (VIDEO)
Video: Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY) with CNBC's Larry Kudlow -- January 25, 2010

Did Bernanke promise a Fed Quid Pro Quo? Kudlow gets aggresive.
For the first 3 or 4 minutes, Kudlow torches Bernanke. Yes, Larry sucks on the teet of the Street, and he supported TARP, but he's right on Bernanke. He wants to know if Bernanke caved to Reid and promised to keep rates low for an extended period, and perhaps even extend the $1.25 trillion MBS purchase sideshow.

We Want Smaller Government: An Open Letter To ALL Politicians (Video)
Slick, well produced clip (last 90 seconds are impressive) that is unfortunately only half-correct. I don't think it comes from the RNC, but it might as well have been produced by Michael Steele.
Once again and for the record, the Republican party lost their claim as the party of small government based on their truly disgusting spending record from 2000 through 2008. It very much still remains to be seen whether they will deviate from recent history and actually deliver smaller government if they re-assume House leadership this Fall from Pelosi and her useless crew. And yes, for the record, Democrats also have an abominable record when it comes to irresponsible deficit spending.
Forced to guess, I would say the answer is 'no' -- they will not shrink the federal government in any meaningful manner. In that sense, this clip should have been aimed at both parties instead of solely at Democrats. Regardless, I think the small government message is important to promote.
