[Lex]

" Jack Cafferty has been reassigned to the upcoming 3 p.m.-to-6 p.m. newsblock where he will continue to provide his unique and incisive commentary."

Barf. I hope they aren't giving Cafferty his own show from 3pm to 6pm. Isn't that Wolf "Leslie" Blitzer's time?

1. Unique and incisive = flaccid and dim witted

What credentials does this dildo even have?

[Lex]

4. He totally sucks. I can't stand the asshole. n/t

[dchill]

7. According to my Mom,

He's got that "lovable curmudgeon" thing going on. Isn't that usually enough in the credentials deparment?

[Spazito]

2. LOL, that makes the former Crossfire guys, Cafferty and

who knows who else all sharing Wolfie's time, at least they are getting all the assholes in one time period, it could be an improvement because then one only has to avoid the 3 pm to 6 pm time slot to maintain a better blood pressure rate, lol.

[dchill]

3. REALLY good news would be...

"Cafferty has been reassigned to provide his unique and incisive commentary LIVE from Iraq. THEN I'd be OK with him having his own show."

(I guess I can't stomach him, either.)

[JohnyCanuck]

6. And not from the Green Zone either. n/t

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. "Incisive commentary" = reading emails written by retarded monkeys?

I didn't get THAT memo... :shrug:

[UdoKier]

8. I wonder if I could keep my job if I ran over a kid on a bike?

I wonder if any left-leaning pundit could?

[Jacobin]

17. Oh, AND he fled the scene of the crime

But, hey, he's a republican, so what the hey.

[readmylips]

9. I thought he was being sent to Iraq to shoot some innocent kids...

hate the guy.

[chieftain]

10. If it weren't for John Gibson of Fox, Jack Cafferty

would be the dumbest man in TV news.

[jedr]

11. why is he sooo piss-off....?

An O'Riely wanabee? Might be able to watch CNN in the morning again

[Lex]

13. I think he's pissed because he's so dumb and the world is confusing to him

and he stays in a constant state of bewilderment, which leads him to be grumpy as hell most of the time.

[Synnical]

12. Hemmer is going, going, gone, too

Glad to hear this.

[jedr]

15. But , are they going to replace them with an actual news show,

or is this going to be fox done by CNN?

14. CNN Announces Summer Debut of Wolf Blitzer-led Situation Room

http://www.turnerinfo.com/newsitem.aspx?P=CNN&CID01=212b441b-9a13-4daf-8f5c-ae030e96dff7

Program Combines Traditional, Online Newsgathering for Innovative Reports on Security, Politics, World Affairs

Wolf Blitzer will convene teams of top CNN correspondents and experts on the news of the moment in The Situation Room, the new CNN/U.S. broadcast announced today by CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein. The program will blend traditional newsgathering with up-to-the-second information from online sources on homeland security, politics and national and world affairs.

The Situation Room airs each weekday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., replacing Inside Politics, Crossfire and Wolf Blitzer Reports. The program debuts mid-summer.

<snip>

The program will gather dozens of experts, analysts and opinion leaders, establishing a “CNN Security Council” with expertise spanning topics from personal security to the economy to the war on terrorism. Regular contributors will include former Crossfire hosts Paul Begala, James Carville and Robert Novak; political analysts Victoria Clarke, Jeff Greenfield, Bill Schneider and Carlos Watson; security analysts such as former Defense Secretary William Cohen, Richard Falkenrath, a former terrorism advisor to President George W. Bush, Clark Kent Ervin, former inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security, and John McLaughlin, former acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency; and military analysts Gen. David Grange and Gen. Don Shephard.

In addition, Jack Cafferty will move from CNN’s morning newscast American Morning to offer commentary and insights on the day’s events; Ali Velshi, host of CNN’s small business show The Turnaround, will contribute regular business updates; and Zain Verjee, co-anchor of CNN’s international news report Your World Today, will report on international news developments. CNN’s groundbreaking Internet reporters Abbi Tatton and Jacki Schechner will cover the blogosphere, reporting on who is saying what and what information can be trusted.

Oh, yeah, I'm gonna trust CNN to tell me who can be trusted. Don't think so.
