Miscellany: Aaron, CHEENEE, Ahhhnuld, JFK, Aaron, & Anderson

[UTUSN]

The tidbit about CHEENEE, "He's not the Dick CHENEY we knew,"----hmmm. Does it mean: 1) This vicious warmonger (is not...) or 2) He's a broken man, spirit and healthwise.

SO, no longer on CNN, what's Aaron Brown going to do? "Be home for a while," he answered. Then: "CNN in the old days had a clear vision. It knew what it was. It's lost its way today." Watch for a book from Aaron Brown . . . .... D.C.'s highesthighesthighest circles are sort of saying things sort of like, and this is an exact quote, "He's not the Dick Cheney we knew." What that means, I've no clue. Just passing it along.

ABOUT the beating Hollywood's great action star Schwarzenegger took in last week's elections. With approval ratings lower than Gov. Gray Davis, whom he supplanted two years ago, Collyfourneeya rejected everything Arnold stuck on the ballot. What a difference a term makes. Last year he was a god walking. This year, Dead Man Walking. The Terminator, who used to kill, chill and drill people snuck out a side door recently rather than face picketing nurses.

The missus, Maria, blames all on their media person Mike Murphy's strategy. Murphy, who's been Dennis Miller's TV producer, also works with Sen. John McCain plus Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, son of '68 presidential candidate George Romney. Both have the Oval Office in their sights. Mrs. Schwarzenegger's hit list includes George Groton, longtime strategist for former Gov. Pete Wilson. Given carte blanche with a checkbook for last Tuesday's vote, Groton came up snake eyes. ....

LAST WORD TILL 2017

November 15, 2005 -- 'AT LAST, the mysteries surrounding JFK's death are fully explained by the startling revelations in this book. Its fresh, groundbreaking research documents how the blow-back from the Kennedys' actions against the Mafia and Cuba led to the death of JFK."

So writes former FBI agent William W. Turner of the hefty new book "Ultimate Sacrifice," which tells in excruciating detail how John and Robert Kennedy, along with the CIA, planned a coup in Cuba that then led to Jack's death. The authors of this Carroll & Graf tome are Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann. They have worked on this book, reading the most important of 4,000,000 documents, and it has taken them 17 years to write it.

A lot of this has been hinted about and written about before, but until the CIA and Kennedy papers are all finally released in 2017, this book will do as the "last word." Conspiracy buffs can settle down for a long winter's read.

And for the first time ever anywhere, this column can tell you the never-before-revealed CIA-Kennedy plan to stage a coup against Castro and actually to invade Cuba had a name. The CIA code for this unrealized action, which they hoped to effect on Dec. 1, 1963, was AMWORLD. The authors of the book, however, refer to the plan in their work as "C-Day" because the AMWORLD name was classified until last summer. .... (More)

Gail Shister | Aaron Brown? He'd 'absolutely' take a Big 3 seat

By Gail Shister
Inquirer Columnist

He's not looking, but CNN exile Aaron Brown would be "hugely interested" in the vacant anchor jobs at ABC or CBS. ....

Doomsday predictions for the broadcast network evening newscasts "are a bunch of nonsense," says Brown, an ABC staffer from 1991 to 2001.

"You still have 23 million people watching every night. They are serious news programs produced by serious people with serious goals in mind. In the history of the business, they're important." ....

There are several subjects Brown won't discuss: his feelings about CNN and its president, Jonathan Klein; whether the move caught him by surprise; if he and Cooper have spoken. ....



Coop clobbered. Speaking of CNN's Anderson Cooper, his first week at 10 p.m. was lukewarm, ratings-wise.

Cooper's two-hour 360º averaged 593,000 viewers from 10 to midnight last week, compared with 1.47 million on Fox News Channel for Greta Van Susteren's On the Record and reruns of Bill O'Reilly's The O'Reilly Factor.

In the first hour, Cooper clocked 730,000 viewers to Van Susteren's 1.75 million. From 11 to midnight, Cooper had 455,000 viewers; O'Reilly, 1.20 million.
