Charlie Gasparino Burns Out On Live TV

On CNBC, Charlie Gasparino looked either drunk or burnt out from his incessant reporting on the credit crisis. On several popular stock message boards, people are speculating that Charlie must have been drunk because he was not responding to any of Dylan Ratigan's questions. Dylan asked him about the Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) merger and Charlie kept mumbling, "What have I got. What have I got."

Later, Dylan told Charlie, "we only have limited time."
To which Gasparino says, "What have I got? What I got is shoot for the capitalism."
Dylan: "Shoot for the capitalism'? What?"
Charlie: "What have I got?"
Dylan: ""Okay, not really sure what just happened there"

After that, CNBC quickly cut away from Mr. Gasparino.

We put a call into CNBC media relations, but have not heard anything back yet.
