Gary, I agree completely. It's a fact of life that "personalities" launching a business are going to get access to publicity that normal folks can't dream of, but I wish that Squawk Box would hew to a higher standard. Go ahead and book guys like Canseco on the show, but make it clear up front that they should expect a grilling from Mark Haines on the business plan, just as he does with every other guest who comes on to promote their business. (Remember the interview with Kodak's Fisher at the executive summit a couple of years ago?)

But let's count our blessings, it could have been worse. Canseco could have been interviewed by Maria from the floor of the Exchange.<g>

It's a shame how they act now Gary, and one thing it has done, is drive me over to Bloomberg, where I do not have to put up with all of the childish behavior going on these days at CNBC. Enough is enough. Yogi
