Nobody saw Jack Cafferty's latest obnoxious, disgusting eruption?
around 3PM CST, during the badinage, he said something along these lines:

"And, could Nancy Pelosi be MORE ubiquitous. She jumps in front of the camera at every opportunity." then, some more digs at her, harping on the fact that she's on the air too often

this, RIGHT after Wolf played a quote from Hastert accusing her of seriously harming the troops' morale, our position in Iraq, with her flipflopping over the Murtha delcaration, and showing her response, which involved her changing her mind due to the pResident's stupid speech yesterday

this was as appalling a personal attack as I've ever seen; totally asinine, especially when juxtaposed with the very incindiary Hastert accusation/response he played JUST before Cafferty blew off his big fat yap

what a DICK!

She's the fricking MINORITY LEADER, you assmuncho. you do realize that it's her JOB to respond to the constant stream of LIES emanating from the other party, something she might not have to do so MUCH of if you and your ilk did an even half-assed job once in a blue moon

DICK.....

He must have gotten the Memo from KKKKarl this morning and he had to show off.

Shameful!

4. So she should keep fighting back.
If she feels she's been misrepresented, she's an elective representative with constitutionally protected free political speech and should make full use of her rights. I kept my mouth shut when everyone was slamming Jon last night on Kerry but, look - there's a lot of onus on Democratic Party politicians to prove they're not deserving of the slams.

Put another way - because I would not characterize what Jon was doing anywhere near the same way - if Pelosi thinks she's being bullied, she should give the bully a bloody nose, and show she's not going to just take it. The easiest way to show you're undeserving of being slammed as a wishy-washy typical Washington politician is to demonstrate backbone.

8. EXACTLY, and that's maybe the reason I'm so furious
she's been doing just what you think she should be doing....FINALLY

and what's the response in the media?

she's obnoxious, and ON TV TOO MUCH!!

how can the dems possibly prevail when the fricking media responds to the highest ranking democrat in the land (OK, tied with Reid).

Cafferty has no business editorializing like that,

what's his frickin email address?

2. I had no idea who he was,
since I'd never watched that show.

Then, a couple of weeks before it happened, Cafferty made a crack about DeLay: "Isn't he indicted yet?"

I thought, that's a funny, hip guy.

But, yesterday, his babbling about Fuckface and how well his speech at the USNA went, how he got his "fastball back," it just shocked me - especially since it was so patently untrue.

Now this - which I didn't see?

My guess is that management has its boot on the back of the guy's neck.

5. I dunno....I hate to speculate on things like that, but.....
the point is this sort of blatantly partisan dem bashing (I know he's done some things that the pugs would consider just as nasty), especially when what she's been doing was simply performing her duties as spokesperson for the minority party, goes way past what should be considered acceptable media behavior

I know, what a waste of time and energy bringing this up, but what the Fricking Hell is up with that jackass, especially when one considers the constant appearance of pugpols whenever one takes a breath

this really infuriates me...STILL getting angrier

9. I know, I know,
but he's meaningless, so it's not worth getting all worked up - still, I understand and share your outrage.

By the way, Gabi, you're a lot more articulate than your progenitor, Gabby, who never spoke an intelligible word. Nice how that happened.

19. I doubt it
That was too complicated for me, plus I hated cereal.

I was exclusively a Woolworth's gun collector.

6. I'm afraid somebody has jerked a chain at CNN. Their ratings...
in the past year, under the guy who took over from Princell Hair (what's his name?), have gone down, I just read. Maybe they think they've gone too liberal, and they've sent a memo. I do know that I've been able to have CNN on for a while, with the sound on, but I've silenced it more than once in the last few days.

16. my thoughts exactly..
I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist,but that's my take as well..I don'y know why Keith Oberman has gotten away with things as long as he has...they must not have held his balls to the collective fire yet.

7. He'll get a ton of nasty email
Yesterday he got blasted for saying Bush did a great job with his speech.

Maybe he's feeling a little masochistic?

12. Never did trust that guy.
All you have to do is look at him! One day he says something funny about this person and the next day it's someone else. Ever since he called Michael Moore a loser, I stopped watching him. It must be nice to get paid the amount of money he does to sit in front of the camera and b!tch about politicians.

13. He's been going downhill ever since the Beaver Brown Band broke up.
And he wasn't very good then, either.

:D

14. So...somedays we love him and somedays we hate him....
sounds like he's doing his job which is to offer his opinion (curmudgeonly I might add) on current events.

15. I thought about that before I posted, and should have mentioned it.
sorta did, obliquely, when referring to pugs he's slammed, but this outburst was way uncalled for, especially given what Wolfie presented right before he spewed

again, she was performing her constitutional duty. he, of course, has every right to spout off whatever ignorant, slanderous garbage he wishes, but he only further demonstrates the complicity of the MSM in tearing down what crumbly pieces of the wall between the government and the erstwhile fourth estate that still exist

17. I never watch Cafferty, but happened to have it on and see a bit.
He was railing yesterday about Ramsey Clark, and how Ramsey Clark ought to find something to do besides represent no-good scoundrels in war crimes! He invited emails. I sent this:

"Clark doesn't need a new line of work, Jack, but you do, you cheap knock-off of Bill O'Reilly. You should be glad that we still have at least one American who understands the importance of trying even despots fairly."

21. I think people put a little too much stock in him from the beginning.
This was something I stated yesterday, but we in NY know who he is since his days on our local news. This is the real Jack Cafferty. He was just taking some easy shots at a failing Republican party. Now he looks to be back aboard with the Republican message.

It may have been funny to see him take some sots in line with views from the left but nevertheless he is a grumpy old angry troll.
