Project much Eric? I think Bolling's doing his best to replace Glenn Beck as the most petulant talking head on Fox News. Filling in for Neil Cavuto, Bolling brought in Fox regular Star Parker to call the Occupy Wall Street protesters a bunch of immature, smelly children who are lazy and don't want to work.

The "get out and get a job" meme to mock the protesters seems to be the latest talking point out of all the conservative pundits out there sneering at the people who've taken to the streets. Parker's done pretty well for herself going from being on government welfare to wingnut welfare, which apparently pays a lot better. Not everyone is willing to sell their soul to be a right-wing talking head though, Star.

Bolling: As the bailouts continue there, the protests continue here. My next guest says, 'what part of broke, don't these spoiled children understand?' Syndicated columnist Star Parker joins me now. So Star, they do seem like petulant little children. It's not fair to us, we hate Capitalism. (His words) Well, how about going out and trying to find a job instead?

And what would one of theses shows on Fox be if they didn't kowtow to Wall Street as well to try to explain their behavior to their viewers. It's not the bankers fault that they took all sorts of risks, over-leveraged themselves and crashed our economy and then tightened up lending standards where small businesses couldn't get loans after we bailed them out. No, the problem is they're over-regulated. Yeah, that's the ticket.
