Cavuto gets called a-hole, responds

Neil Cavuto of Fox Business Network was called an “asshole” by the chief economist of the AFL-CIO during an interview on Friday, and he responded on his 6 p.m. show on the network by calling it one of the most “stunning and scary” interviews he’s ever done.

Here is the exchange on the “Your World” show earlier on Friday:

Cavuto: Where did you get your degree?  Baking School?  Where are you cooking up these numbers?

Ron Blackwell: It’s over, forget about it. You’re a joker. You’re an asshole.

Cavuto: The fact of the matter is we spent a trillion dollars and we’ve not seen results from that money and now you’re saying, ‘Well, it could have been worse had we not.’

Ron Blackwell: I just told you we have seen results.

Here is the video:

  • Cavuto insults an interview subject, and the subject insults back-- good for him. I think his description of Cavuto as an A-hole is spot-on.
