BWAC, yeah I caught that too. Didn't surprise me though...I'd be willing to bet that when they have guys like Canseco and pro wrestlers on, there is an agreement beforehand that no hardball questions will be thrown at them, so they don't look stupid. Basically, the producers prep them by saying "make sure you mention that you have CNBC on in the clubhouse and throw in some comments about what a babe Maria is and we'll give you and your buddy with the pony tail carte blanche on the interview." Haines missed another great opp when Kernan was joking about Conseco/Canseco and Canseco said he was getting into the mortgage lending biz...isn't Greentree's mtge lending unit what got Conseco into trouble? His sidekick looked like he could play a goomba on The Sopranos.
