The smartest thing this boob says is that he doesnt think for himself - typical Adam Wollner at NPRs Its All Politics blog reported that longtime Price Is Right host Bob Barker is endorsing a Republican for Congress in the special election to replace Rep. C.W. Bill Young, who recently died in office. Barker, whos just turned 90 and retired from the popular CBS daytime show in 2007 after 35 years, appeared in a television ad Thursday on behalf of David Jolly, a lobbyist and former general counsel to Young in Floridas 13th district. Moments before Cuomo made his lament, correspondent Dana Bash played a clip from Jollys rally – including the famous TV game shows theme – as she covered the results of the election. Co-anchor Michaela Pereira then pointed out the musical choice, as a lead-in for her colleagues rant: Did you notice what theyre playing there? Cuomo included the actual name of the music, as well some self-deprecating humor, as he expressed his outrage over big political donations: CUOMO: Were watching the video there of the guy celebrating the win, and the song is called Sixth Finger Tune. It is the theme song from The Price Is Right- BALDWIN: How do you know the name of that? CUOMO: They just told me in my ear what the name of the song is. I wouldnt know anything. (points to earpiece) You see this? Theres my brain- BALDWIN: (points to earpiece) The brilliant people talk to Chris in his ear – the smart people- CUOMO: Heres the secret to Chris Cuomos intelligence on TV– its hanging right there. But heres the thing- BALDWIN: Yes- CUOMO: What a metaphor for what politics has become – that they are playing the theme song of The Price Is Right- BALDWIN: The Price Is Right- PEREIRA: From The Price Is Right- CUOMO: When they celebrate a victory, because its about the money! It makes me sick. Too bad the smart people in Cuomos ear didnt clue him in on Barkers endorsement.
