CNN cancels Eliot Spitzer's prime-time program
Associated Press ^ | 7-6-11

Posted on 07/06/2011 11:41:26 AM PDT by Justaham

The Eliot Spitzer experiment is over at CNN.

The network reshuffled its prime-time schedule on Wednesday, canceling the former New York governor's 8 p.m. show, "In the Arena."

Spitzer lasted less than a year at the network. He began on CNN's prime-time lineup last October paired with conservative columnist Kathleen Parker, who exited in February. The show never made a ratings dent in a tough cable news time slot dominated by Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly.

CNN is moving Anderson Cooper's news program, which now airs at 10 p.m., into the 8 p.m. time slot. Former CNBC personality Erin Burnett will host a show that is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern time.

Yeah, CNN is still on the air. And when it comes to real-time coverage they are still the best. Their coverage of the tsunami in Japan was heads and shoulders above any other, including FoxNews.

That said, I never watch them unless there’s some special disaster or military action in a far away place. As for Spitzer, who made that dumb decision to hire him in the first place???

if CNN is looking for another dumb person to replace him they can take Shep Smith, Geraldo and Hannity. Heck, they can take all 3 for a combo deal!

I’ll bet the disgruntled billionaire who got the hooker goods on ol’ Eliot dug around in the pile of stuff the investigators found but although bad, was not nearly as bad as being client number nine, and slipped it in to CNN over the transom so to speak.

Eliot will eventually learn, don’t screw with a multibillionaire

I just can’t picture a CNN show with “Spitzer and Weiner”. That would be hard to swallow.

Now a show with that airhead Ann Curry and the boys would make for an interesting title: “THe Curry Weiner and Spitzer Show”. It would definitely leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Well, NY state has another marxist sex pervert degenerate crook baby killer asshole Governor named Andrew Cuomo, he can suck some cash out of CNN as soon as he's booted out on his commie red homosexual loving ass.

His father takes the cake though, has the blood of THOUSANDS of NYC residents on his hands who were slaughtered by criminals as he VETOED THE DEATH PENALTY 12 YEARS IN A ROW!!!!!

Homicidal maniacs figured as long as there was no chance they would face the gas chamber, best not to leave any witnesses, no matter how petty the crime.

The minute Pataki signed, the murder rate dropped 50%, and dropped another 25% when Giuliani doubled the amount of cops and told them not to worry about the ACLU.

There is a special place in hell for Mario, and his son has a spot right next to him.

No pity for the subjects of NYC and State though, if they are too stupid to flee, then they will get what they deserve.

Statism, bullying and authoritarianism is not very funny, interesting or entertaining. It doesn't play well to normal citizens who don't read the NY Times all day.

Bud Light presents:

"REAL MEN OF GENIUS"

...(Real men of genius)

Today we salute you, Mr. Power Hungry Hypocrite Leftist Authoritarian Bully

...(Mr. Power Hungry Hypocrite Leftist Authoritarian Bully)

In your quest for higher political office and power you prosecuted everyone and ruined people in order to make a name for yourself...

...(You're an f'ing steamroller!)

Investment banks, research analysts, insurance companies, Native American tobacco retailers, $20 street hookers, jaywalkers, ticket scalpers, people who rip tags off mattresses, your mother

...(You're all going to jail)

The only person within a 500 mile radius you forgot to prosecute was yourself

...(Somebody convene a Grand Jury)

Other funny looking annoying rich men have to spend millions buying beautiful women condos, furs, BMW's, diamonds or proposing marriage in exchange for sex

...(where is the M3 convertible?)

You managed to get beautiful women by paying a miserly $80,000 for prostitutes over 10 years and risking criminal prosecution and public shame

...(Worth every penny)

Sure all pigs are created equal...but some pigs are more equal than others.

...(You're a special piece of pork!)

So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh $5,500 per hour call girl Governor...because the only people who were screwed here were the tax paying citizens

...conservative columnist Kathleen Parker....

Nonsense. Just another faux conservative along the lines of David Brooks and Frum. They could have picked a real conservative who understands conservative ideology and was able to articulate it. Instead they chose Parker. Dana Loesch, Lars Larson, or Mark Levin all would have been good choices.
