hi doug, nice rattling off the wonderful record of mr. greenspan. i slight criticism of sorts, although i know you're probably right to laugh at kerry's claim about the economy [though, when has the economy been in much worse shape than now, i'd guess you'd say the 70's?], but in that context, since FOX is an attack economy, adding a "BUT...the economy is definitely failing workers in x,y, and z area in record ways..." would help to subvert the Cavuto subtext of "The economy is doing great! Whatever are the critics talkking about when they complain?"....

also, find out where the camera is pointing and make sure you look right at it, tv's a pain that way. i thought the rattling off of the greenspan milestones was great and the ironic love of a government official by free marketers you noted was good too...
