this prop heats up and agitates the electrons in leftists’ brains until they’re in a sophistic frenzy!
I’ll have a Jack and a beer back; but Mr.Cafferty-this is
the coffee wagon!
There are more than just allegations about John Edwards’ indiscretions out there, but has CNN put that story at the top of its leading news?
There are books out there with “explosive” allegations about Obama and the company he keeps. But have they led the news hour?
Maybe if CNN and other DBM outlets actually reported substantiated news stories rather than allegations by one person in a book they’re trying to sell, they wouldn’t keep losing viewers at such a rapid pace.
Cafferty & Blitzer are 2 has beens that couldn’t make it on local tv in NY and got booted and CNN picked up the trash.
To bad Sanitation didn’t get there first.
2 losers. They make me want to puke.
Cafferty should be careful, look what false accusations against Bush did to Rather.
President Bush by-passed a golden opportunity to ratchet up the rhetoric right after Katrina. Standing at the foot of the stairway to AirForce One, he should have said “I’m going to New Orleans in part because I have compassion for those suffering from the storm. More important, I am going to Louisiana because Governor Blanco and Major Nagin have so abysmally failed their state with their inept disaster response, the federal government must try to clean-up their mess”.
Aw yes, the U.S. Congress-the investigative branch of government. Investigate this! (single finger salute)
Cafferty personifies what CNN considers to pass for reporting.
They may as well have Entertainment Tonight doing the news.
Cafferty did THAT??
Wow, what a scumbag!
Cafferty is kind of a droopy looking fellow, isn’t he?
That’s what happens after a lifetime of a cage match inside your gut between booze and coffee. LOL
(Jack Cafferty mowed down a bicyclist, then ran two red lights trying to get away as people chased him!)

Like most journalists, CNN morning anchor Jack Cafferty would prefer to cover news than make it. Especially when it's bad news.
But Tuesday, a stunned Cafferty was greeted by photographers as he went into a midtown Manhattan court to plead guilty in connection with a hit and run accident.
According to the criminal complaint, Cafferty was driving a Cadillac with a New Jersey Press license plate on Ninth Avenue near 42nd Street May 14th when he allegedly made an abrupt turn and hit bicyclist Billy Maldonado.
About five people tried to stop Cafferty by running after the car, waving their arms and yelling, "Hey Stop," according to the complaint, but the newsman allegedly continued through at least two red lights, while dragging the bicycle underneath the vehicle.
Maldonado, who was knocked to the ground, suffered bruises.
Cafferty was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, assault and harassment.
But Tuesday he was allowed to plead guilty to only a traffic violation: Operating a motor vehicle knowing or having cause to know property damage had been caused. He was sentenced to 70 hours of community service, with six months to complete it, and a $250 fine. He also apparently made restitution.
Cafferty had no comment yesterday but the criminal complaint said Cafferty told police he saw the bicyclist get off the ground but didn't realize he had hit him. "I am unaware I was in an accident," he said.
Cafferty's attorney Seth Rosenberg insisted his client had acted responsibly ."This was never anything more than a traffic violation," he said.
Attorney Suzanne Holzberg, who represents Maldonado, expressed disappointment. "He did not plead guilty to the more serious charge of leaving the scene knowing he caused personal injury," she said. "I think he got off pretty easy."
Maldonado, she said, wasn't as lucky. Bruised up from the fall, she said, he still needs an operation on his right elbow.
Should mention that that story was from ‘Newsday’.
“Three months later, the U.S. invaded Iraq using a forged document as its rationale, says Suskind.”
The letter did`nt become public until 9 months into the war, but Bush made it public before the invasion began. Yeah, that makes sense. To a liberal.
