Any unbiased listener would find Bob Brinker to be "pompous" and a "know it all".

Queen. >>It never ceases to amaze me how the Brinkerbashers "know" everything about what Brinker "thinks" and feels. I believe criticizing what someone says in public is appropriate, but no one can know what someone else thinks about himself in relation to someone else. And when they feel the need to resort to criticizing personal characteristics of a radio talk show host who comments on opinions in his field, and when they feel the need to resort to insults like "arrogant know-it-all" and "pompous arse"-- then we know their frustration with their own inability to carry on a more rational discourse is getting the best of them. Sorry but our opinions of Brinker are based on what he says. Read it a weep: "I think a lot of it's misplaced, I've said it many times on this program and I continue to believe that I'm right. (Caller: "I agree with you, bob.") "Well, I'm glad you do, but guess what, guess what, I'm glad you do, but guess who does NOT agree with me--BEN BERNANKE, BEN BERNANKE, HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME, he's still talking about oil prices causing inflation. I don't know what planet he's hanging out on, but oil prices, the higher they go, the more counter-inflationary they are, if you think if oil went to $200 a barrel tomorrow and that would be inflationary, you're completely wrong. People would be completely out of money, they wouldn't be able to buy anything at all. So it's ridiculous! This notion that rising energy costs is inflationary is COMPLETE AND UTTER NONSENSE! .
