CNN's Jack Cafferty, Nutter
by Hugh Hewitt

Less than 30 minutes ago, Jack Cafferty on CNN's The Siutuation Room, which may soon be renamed The Rubber Room:

The last time we got a tape from Osama bin Laden was right before the 2004 presidential election. Now here we are four days away from hearings starting in Washington into the wire tapping of America's telephones without bothering to get a court order or a warrant, and up pops another tape from Osama bin Laden. Coincidence? Who knows.


In the same segment, Cafferty reads an e-mail and comments:

Mike writes "I don't think the new tape is important at all. Osama is trying to put something out to make himself look important. He's not really the al Qaeda leader anymore. He's a lot like the Queen of England, just a figurehead."

They actually look a little alike, too.

Diane, in Tampa Florida: "It seems suspicious. Every time the Republicans get into trouble, bin Laden sends a tape. Is it possible bin Laden is working out of the White House?"


UPDATE:

Maybe we should call him "time bomb" Jack Cafferty. See here for details. This story doesn't appear in Jack's bio which indicates, not surprisingly, that he's never had a job outside of a newsroom or has ever written a serious story. He's been reading prompter for decades. It shows.

4. Go Cafferty, he's saying on TV what I'm thinking.

He's the only one aside from Lou Dobbs that I ever watch on CNN. Seems that for the most part, CNN is a Fox news wanna bee what with all the right-wing wackos (not my word, Abramoff and Delay crafted it) they have recently hired. I'd avoid most anything else on CNN.
