"Broken Government" a new series w/ Jack Cafferty **NOW** ET

[Catchawave]

A new series beginning tonight on CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/broken.government/

"In a year in which American voters will make critical decisions on issues from the war on terror to scandal in Washington to an exploding national debt, CNN’s "Broken Government" examines all branches of government and explores how much of the system may be broken beyond repair. The series premieres Thursday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. ET. A six-part series then airs Oct. 23, 24, 26, 27, 28 and 29 at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET."

Warning: He will be taking on the left, right and center.

There's a poll at the link, so far 95% yes, our government is broken.

1. broken...that's putting it mildly: greed, decay, chaos

[Catchawave]

4. I wonder who's to blame ?

Greedy, decaying and chaotic r'pukes, or spineless Dems :shrug: Then there's our apathetic center.

Should be fun :toast:

2. Thanks, Catchawave. I'll be watching, though can't imagine

Cafferty being too kind to this admin. What's to like? ;)

[Catchawave]

3. That's why I'm excited...it's Cafferty

Closest thing we have on CNN to KO. Sort of no bullsh*t reporting :evilgrin:

[Sad4world]

5. Nonexistent

A branch or service of the supreme authority of a state or nation, taken as "REPRESENTING THE WHOLE"!!!

[Catchawave]

6. A whole what ?

Of course, the show starts at 7pm ET, so I'm sure I'll understand more then, but the premise and Cafferty make me hopeful.

I'm sure Washington through Clinton will be blamed for something too :hi: and a belated Welcome to DU :toast:

[Sad4world]

35. People

The whole of the people.
We live in a country that is controlled by money not by the whole of the people.
Money(greed thereof) controls not people.

As a people. "Stop the killing".

Religion is "TOLERANCE" not Intolerance!

[Catchawave]

7. OMIGOD....Jack begins...

"Had enough?".....hopes that every incumbent on the November ballot is defeated....should be good.

[Catchawave]

14. But it's the truth, right ?

[babylonsister]

15. Yep. It's also one of the

shorter segments.
So far, this show looks great! And Jack will be covering the voting machines-go, Jack!

[ShortnFiery]

16. Yes, I think that just perhaps Cafferty realizes

how dangerous One Party Rule can do in the next two years.

At least I hope. :scared:

[babylonsister]

18. Is anyone else noticing the third rate job on audio? Their

lips and words aren't in sync, the volume is going up and down, is it just my tube?

[Catchawave]

22. Not to mention, if we don't take back the Congress

We're screwed :banghead:

[Catchawave]
