Neil Cavuto Gets Called An A**Hole Live During Debate Over Stimulus Package

Ron Blackwell is not only the Chief Economist for the AFL-CIO, but today he was a rather notable guest on Fox News’ Your World with Neil Cavuto. During a debate about the relative merits of the economic stimulus package, Blackwell and host Neil Cavuto predictably took opposing sides as to whether increased government spending has hurt the economy or has kept it from tanking more. Cavuto questioned Blackwell’s pedigree, wondering if he got his degree at a “baking school.” Blackwell called Cavuto a “joker” and an “asshole.”

Cavuto addressed this at 6pm during his FBN show in which he called it “one of the most stunning and scary interviews I’ve ever conducted.” See for yourself in the video below.
