Jack Cafferty just called for Bush's Impeachment On CNN

[Pawel K]

He did this while talking about the revelations from Scott Mcclellan's book. Say what you will about the guy but he has some balls. I was shocked.

1. A recoverung Republican, like Dobbs, coming around. This I like! n/t

[IndyOp]

13. If you have time you might want to edit your post...

A recoverung Republican, like Dobbs, coming around. This I like! n/t

Cafferty has called for Bu$h's impeachment - not Dobbs...

They do all kind of look alike.

[bahrbearian]

16. Caffery has come around . like, Dobbs has come around.

[QC]

32. It is forbidden to speak approvingly of Dobbs around here. n/t

[IndyOp]

44. It isn't forbidden by me to speak approvingly of Dobbs - I didn't know he had

called for *'s impeachment. Sorry.

[QC]

54. Gee, I hope the Central Committee doesn't find out that you like Dobbs.

That could get you some nasty re-education!

[upi402]

20. nope. both would be Republicans otherwise. But have woken up to the nightmare

and have been espousing pro-labor, anti-fascist, fair trade, etc... positions.
Dobbs not in favor of
impeachment??? well some are sicker than others.

[IndyOp]

45. Okay - now I get your meaning - Cafferty & Dobbs both recovering sanity -

not necessarily both calling for impeachment.

:hi:

[Roland99]

22. He learned from Katrina, unlike Geraldo and Shepard Smith who both witnessed it first-hand

but got back home and duly turned back into brain-dead Limbaughts.

[11 Bravo]

70. You're right. I actually had hope for Shephard Smith after Katrina, but

within days he morphed right back into the little right-wing shitweasel he had been pre-hurricane.

[superkia]

60. I wonder if DK bringing it up on the debate has sparked something?

I still don't understand why the people that support impeachment and feel its extremely important for the future of our country, would still support candidates that wont even mention the word. Its almost like they don't want to attack their buddy, its one thing to speak up and say there is no need or no evidence to support impeachment but to ignore it altogether just doesn't seem like a leader that I want running the country. Sounds more like a follower to me.

[kid a]

2. know the truth, "while there's still time to impeach him!" TO QUOTE JACK

awesome!

[rateyes]

4. Good. Now, it's time for Conyers to do the same. nt

[spanone]

3. Wake Up and Smell the Corruption.....Thanks Jack

[Gabi Hayes]

5. how STUPID are these toenails?

it took this sort of 'revelation' to figure out that they've been lied to??????

fuck THEM

if they'd done their job over the last few years, none of this would have happened in the first place

fuck THEM!!!!

[Louis J Sheehan]

6. A previous Jack Cafferty quote

"Who cares if the Patriot Act get's renewed. Want to abuse our civil liberties - Just do it! Who cares about the Geneva conventions? Want to torture prisoners - Just do it! Who cares about rules concerning the identity of CIA gents. Want to reveal the name of a covert operative? Just do it! Who cares about whether the intelligence concerning WMD's is accurate. You want to invade Iraq? Just do it. Who cares about qualifications to serve on the nation's highest court. Want to nominate a personal friend with no qualifications? Just do it. And the latest outrage, which I read about in The New York Times this morning, who cares about needing a court order to eavesdrop on American citizens. Want to wiretap their phones conversations? Just do it. ... What a joke. A very cruel, very sad joke."

-- Louis J Sheehan

[Pawel K]

7. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[rzemanfl]

9. Agent Mike, you'll hear about him, will get you for that unlucky

13th post. Welcome to DU, Caferty has come around, the Repukes will say he is just trying to sell his book.

[nealmhughes]

31. I heard Jack Cafferty say that on CNN, and it was the first time I heard any talking head say what

I have felt for years.

[L. Coyote]

33. Great to see such substantive content from a new DUer. WELCOME.

[rzemanfl]

8. That must have been a refreshing change from Roberts and

Tobins litany of Repuke talking points-which caused me to turn off the TV and miss that.

[lonestarnot]

10. Cafferty! That's his damn last name. Have tried to think of it for a couple of damn months now.

:P

[madokie]

17. I guess I'll have to start watching the shitstorm room again with so I can see Jack again

I really do miss him. now if only I could figure out a way to blank out leslie I'd be in hog heaven

[FreeStateDemocrat]

11. Unbelievable slow tipping point but it may finally wake up the Speaker of the House to do her duty

[Golden Raisin]

24. Sorry, but wishful thinking. Pelosi

will not impeach. Apparently there is nothing Bush has or can do that will rouse her to exercise her Constitutional imperative. I've jokingly said Bush could strangle an infant and drink it's blood on live TV and that would still not be enough for Pelosi. If we survive the Bush regime, and that's a big if, History is not going to be kind to Pelosi, and she deserves every brickbat.

[blogslut]

12. Old Jack has been disgusted with Dubya for a good while now

And I dig it!

[kelliebrat]

27. yep and he hasn't tried

to hide his disgust one bit. He's an old curmudgeon, but when he gets going against Bush/cheney I could actually develop a crush on that man:blush:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

28. I'm with you on the relative hotness of curmudgeons!

I like 'em smart and I like 'em outraged. :loveya:

MKJ

[kelliebrat]

34. ROFLMAOOOO

:rofl: After watching Jack do his thing I always tell my husband "ya know if I wasnt married, I'd probably do him" he just :shrug: and shakes his head:rofl:

[stillcool]

14. Good for Jack...

way too late for CNN.

[Hamlette]

15. How is what Scottie said any evidence, let alone proof, that Bush lied?

I read it as Scottie saying Bush told him to say Rove and Libby were not involved.

Period.

I have never read where he said Bush knew they were invovled.

Scottie is not a John Dean. He's been with Bush from the Texas days. He'll cover Bush's ass while attempting to cover his own.

[Andrea]

55. You are so right.

Scottie isn't fit to shine John Dean's shoes. I saw at MSNBC.com last night where he is already
back-tracking on Bush and Cheney's involvement.

And why did it take him saying something for Cafferty to believe it? My God, we all knew they were
involved years ago. It should have been common knowledge. It's just like the war. How could it be
that all my friends and I knew there were no WMDs a year before the invasion, and yet most people
believed it? It's not like I had secret connections. I just watched and read and listened. It wasn't
a secret. I'm just beyond tolerance for these idiots!

[Fredda Weinberg]

18. Glad to see Jack in a saddle. Makes up for the years of

humiliation on local affiliates. I wish the curmudgeon well in his dotage. The book must have given his spine some stiffness.

[rodeodance]

19. He needs to pound it over and over and over.

[swimmernsecretsea]

21. So, what do we have to do to make everyone else grow a pair?! nt.

[zazzle]

25. We can start with this -

as others have mentioned - can you imagine this scenario?
A split TV screen of impeachment hearings on one side - and Bill campaigning with Hillary on the other. Impeachment hearings ain't gonna happen.
Kucinich knows it - and you'd think he would have attacked Obama for declaring Bush hadn't committed impeachable offenses.
chirp, chirp!

[Andrea]

56. Oh man. I hadn't heard that.

Obama really said Bush hadn't committed impeachable offenses? My God, the list of his impeachable offenses is longer than my arm. Could you provide context or a link of where he said that? I'm not a big Obama supporter, but this is still very disillusioning. TIA.

[blogslut]

66. I can

Here is the full quote from the AP story:

"I think you reserve impeachment for grave, grave breaches, and intentional breaches of the president's authority," he said.

"I believe if we began impeachment proceedings we will be engulfed in more of the politics that has made Washington dysfunction," he added. "We would once again, rather than attending to the people's business, be engaged in a tit-for-tat, back-and-forth, non-stop circus."

Quoted 148 days ago. Link: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-06-28-obama-impeachment_N.htm

[Andrea]

69. Thanks for that

It's getting to the point where there is no one that I wouldn't mind getting elected, let alone supporting. I'm not quite there yet, but nearly. I hope Iowa produces some big surprises.

Edited to add: And who does he think he is kidding? Reserved for "grave offenses"? what could be more grave than killing tens of thousands of people and obliterating our civil liberties? Oh God.

[deacon]

23. k + r

[shadowknows69]

26. Anyone got vid of this?

[lonestarnot]

29. yeah... anyone?

[kelliebrat]

35. I think this is it....

but not sure

[boston bean]

40. CNN has Gloria Borger on?? I can't stand that woman! nt

[eleny]

51. She sure is a right wing tool

Saying that "nobody cares anymore" and we can wait for the president's memoirs to learn what happened.

Jack did a good job of smacking her down with his call for the truth now.

[me b zola]

53. Thats the link!

Thanks for providing it! :hi:

[kelliebrat]

64. You're very welcome!

:hi:

[mwb970]

30. BillO will have to send in his Foxtroopers.

Cafferty must be silenced.

[donsu]

36. did neo con Wolfie faint when he said that?

nt

[Pawel K]

39. Wolf was out that day.

But the other cnn stooges that were trying to say this was old news I think were shocked when they heard it.

[Cha]

37. So Jack is taking scotty's

book on face value and not listening to the recanting, since?

[Pawel K]

38. It wasn't really just based on Scotty's book

the CNN stooges were trying to say who cares about this anymore, its old news. This made Jack blow up. He said he cares and that we need to be told the truth from the white house now while there is still time to impeach, not 10 years from now in Bush's memoirs.

[Cha]

42. Thanks...for additional bit

of info. "cnn stooges" is nailing it. I can just see the the button pushed with the voice recordings.."that's old news..nobody cares about that anymore(cause we say so)."

Intelligent people have to watch this fascistshit for reconnaisance and seeing what the enemy is up to but it would be helpful if we could dry up their sponsors and their bottom line they're always so mindful of.

[tblue37]

41. On TPM, a writer says McClellaln's publisher has already

pedaled, saying that when he aske MClellan to convey false information, Bush didn't know either that it was false. Obviously that is a lie, but it is evident that Scotty intends to exonerate Bush himself. Still, the idea that 4 of 5 high-ranking government officials mentioned lied on purpose should suffice to reopen the suspended Fitzgerald investigation, and that itself could lead to Bush. I sure hope something is done with this. After all, outing Plame ws treason, pure and simple, and Bush, Cheney, and Rove were obviously into the scheme up to their elbows and beyond!

[The Doctor.]

43. On the Bill Press radio show a few weeks back, Jack also said

that the government is completely broken and essentially in the control of corporate interests.

[IDemo]

46. I just finished his book "It's Getting Ugly Out There"

He actually gives a quite withering treatment of Bushco throughout the book, but the Lou Dobbs-like blaming of illegal immigrants for everything but solar flares does get a bit tiresome.

[Tab]

58. That was my take on it too

He's calling "bullshit" when he sees it (and there's a lot of it), but the immigration thing, I agree, was getting a bit much. I'm not done with the book yet.

It's not that well written a book, a little self-serving, but it does compile quite a list of damnable deeds. I am ignoring the immigration stuff just because everyone has their own viewpoint/opinion, but the rest of it made quite a list.

[drm604]

47. Cafferty has been very critical of Bush for a long time. n/t

[ooglymoogly]

48. Cafferty is an old style republican.

Back when republicans could command a modicum of respect and a supson of honor; People like Goldwater.

[Skittles]

49. they are like dinosaurs now

yes

[Plucketeer]

50. Cafferty's Cool!

This statement proves it!

[cmd]

52. Now we're getting somewhere

Let's hope that old adage about a rolling stone gathering no moss holds true. Go get him Jack!

[oasis]

57. He da man.

:bounce:

[opihimoimoi]

59. Happy Turkey Day Guy....

You Da Man...

:beer: :toast: :bounce: :Fine wine: :hug:

[oasis]

63. Happy

Thanksgiving to you Opi. Sorry for the late reply. I get job over here.:hi:

[LindainCinci]

61. Kudos and thanks to JACK!

[alfredo]

62. Last week he said if we got another president like him it will be

time for revolution.

[upi402]

65. Wow

I bet he means if * likes the way the Pakis go and tries it here, then it would be time in that case too.

Jeez, I hope Jack watches his back, announces on air that he is NOT suicidal - and stays the hell out of small planes.

[alfredo]

68. He's been getting more vocal about the threat to our nation from

the bush junta.

[Mutineer]

67. Until Pelosi calls for it

it doesn't really matter who else says what about him
