Gordon Brown’s efforts to broker an £80billion bailout for world trade on a trip to Brazil hit a stumbling block tonight when the country’s President lashed out at ‘white, blue-eyed’ bankers for bringing the world economy to its knees.

‘Now they have demonstrated that they don’t know anything about economics.’

President Lula, head of Brazil’s main left-wing party, said that ‘no black man or woman, no indigenous person, no poor person’ had been in any way culpable for the global banking crisis.

This video is a MUST SEE

I saw this live last night. Shockingly sharp comments by Schaeffer!  Schaeffer's background with his father in shaping the beginnings of the political religious right makes his opinions even more valiant and pertinent!  Hughley himself does not say anything controversial.  I've read that Hughley's show had been "canceled". I read somewhere else that this fact disputed by him in that he wanted to do something from California where his family lives, and he will be given some other role at CNN.  Too bad, I was just beginning to warm up to the show.
