Did She Just Say That?

Sometimes people say dumb things. It happens. However there are those rare moments when someone says something so colossally stupid and idiotic that it bares mentioning.

Heard this on Thom Hartmann yesterday and just could not believe my own ears. CNBC's talking doodle head, Erin Burnett had this to say on trade with China'

“A lot of people like to say, uh, scaremonger about China, right? A lot of politicians, and I know you talk about that issue all the time. I think people should be careful what they wish for on China. Ya know, if China were to revalue it’s currency or China is to start making say, toys that don’t have lead in them or food that isn’t poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up and that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up too. So, I would say China is our greatest friend right now, they’re keeping prices low and they’re keeping the prices for mortgages low, too.”

Still don't believe this came out of a persons mouth? Crooks and Liars has video, here
