In what’s now being called his “Network” moment, MSNBC’s anchor Dylan Ratigan went postal while having a discussion about the state of the economy and how President Obama can fix the problem.

In the middle of hearing two of the pundits (one Democrat, one Republican) battle over party rhetoric, Ratigan blew up when the two weren’t giving him the non-partisan answers he was looking for. Check out the video below.

“We’ve got a real problem,” he said. “I’m tired of Republicans and Democrats–Republicans who want to burn the place to the ground and Democrats, with all due respect, who want to offer a plan that gets them through the end of their second term of their presidency and screws me and my kids!”

He also went on to call both parties plans about about the country “reckless, irresponsible, and stupid!.. I would like him [President Obama] to go the people and say ‘People of the United States of America, your Congress is bought!” There is more, but you really just have to see the video.

He has every right to be angry, but the most entertaining part of the video is seeing the pundits all look around with pale, slightly scared faces.
