Novak Replacement: Bill Bennett Becoming CNN Political Analyst In '06

[TheWebHead]

First on TVNewser: Controversial conservative talk show host Bill Bennett will become a CNN political analyst early in 2006, TVNewser has learned.

This month's departure of Bob Novak left the network without a high-profile conservative commentator. But Bennett, a former Education Secretary and drug czar, would seem to be a strange choice. Of all the conservatives CNN could sign, why Bennett? In September, he came under fire from all sides of the political sphere for his assertion that aborting "every black baby in this country" would reduce the crime rate. Many members of Congress asked Bennett to apologize. The White House condemned his remarks. (Bennett said his comments were mischaracterized.)

1. Oh cool, "Betamillion Bennett" can't wait for that.

A perfect choice to replace Novacula.

[Bryan]

12. Agreed. A hilariously fitting choice

The only person on the RW pundit bench who makes Novak look healthy and robust. Labored breathing ho!

[patrioticliberal]

2. UGHHHHHH I hate that clown

[spanone]

3. All the More Reason to Tune Out CNN.

[napi21]

4. Well, you knew it was going to be some RW nut case.

I can't think of ANY I'd LIKE to see there. I guess he's a bit better than Novak though. Not by much!!!

[MadisonProgressive]

7. He's worse than Novak because some people still fall for

Bennetts bullshit. This really makes me want to :puke:

[blm]

26. Bennett must've paid his Dominatrix BIG BUCKS to keep quiet

She was shopping around a deal to spill the beans on him just a few years ago, and now he gets hired by CNN? Looks like she either got paid off BIGTIME or was whacked.

[Warpy]

5. Maybe he'll finish his broadcasts with tips on the next day's races

No matter how many times these bastards are outed as mealymouthed hypocrites, thieves and thugs, they just keep coming back, deodorized by another lapdog media organization.

[Cha]

29. Maybe someone will

find the right button and make him huff off stage ala novakula!

[SillyGoose]

6. Who is their high-profile liberal commentator?

I'm curious because of this statement:

This month's departure of Bob Novak left the network without a high-profile conservative commentator.

[MadisonProgressive]

8. Why it's Blitzed Wolfman!

[SillyGoose]

47. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with Wolfie. He reminds me of

an architect I used to work for years ago. I probably project my fondness for my old architect boss onto Wolfie so I can't help giving the Blitzed Wolfman a pass at times because of it.

Its wrong, I know. :spank:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. we have to settle for pseudo-dems like maragret 'the chipmunk' carlson

who, in between her clinton-bashing books, occaisionally makes a point that is just the slightest smidge to the left of Bush

[gulfcoastliberal]

25. She also wrote a pro-Bush "book".

"Anyone Can Grow Up: How George Bush and I Made it to the White House"

:puke:

[SillyGoose]

27. OMG...I thought you were joking about that book so I went and looked

it up on Amazon. This is what I learned from browsing around there:

1. Tweety sang at her daughter's wedding.

2. She thinks Bush won in 2000 because he made funny faces and served better food on the press plane.

3. She thinks Al Gore is just too smart and the Clintons talk too much.

What a twit.

[Cha]

32. This country needs some of that Smartness..

right about now and margaret carlson is as dumb as sack of rocks. I've seen her on capital gang making inane comments.

[gulfcoastliberal]

36. That's the way beltway pundits think...

Incestous, vapid, emptyheaded whores.

[SillyGoose]

45. Yep, that's our Margaret....vapid, incestuous, emptyheaded.

But cut her some slack...Tweety did, after all, sing at her daughter's wedding. I would pay good money to see that.

[SillyGoose]

48. I'm wondering if its Paul Begala. I see him on there from time to time

but don't watch regularly enough to know if he's a regular.

BTW, thanks to you, I will never be able to watch Margaret again without thinking of chipmunks! }(

[Cha]

30. We should all email cnn(chicken noodle nooze)

and ask them..inquiring minds need to know.

[SillyGoose]

44. Funny you should say that because I emailed them yesterday

suggesting they 86 that fluffball Paula Zahn and replace her with Phil Donohue.

I'm sure they will give my suggestion ample consideration. ;-)

[Cha]

64. SillyGoose!

:toast:

[wanpete]

43. excellent question. Sure hope to goodness it's not Donna Brazille!

[Cleita]

9. If they were trying to find someone as evil as Novak,

I guess they succeeded.

[bambo53]

10. Soros & Turner need to buy CNN

Let Turner run it and I think it would huge. We've got nowhere to go for cable news.

[Cha]

34. IWT can't come soon enough!

Check out this video.."Birth Of A Network"!

http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/birthofanetwork

I've donated..anyone else?

http://www.iwtnews.com/

[yurbud]

58. at first story, I set up monthly donation

[Cha]

63. Grreat! Thanks!

I'll give some more as soon as I can..:toast:

[graywarrior]

11. I'm gonna miss those clicking wooden teeth

[Kingshakabobo]

21. LOL. Those woulda made George Washington green with envy. n/t

[tularetom]

13. I wonder if they'll show him

getting humiliated by husky women in leather underwear? This asshole has more skeletons in his closet than a medical school and if nobody calls him on it the dems have even less cajones than I thought.

[rzemanfl]

18. Every guest should ask him, "Say, Bill, ever had a strap-on dildo

up your ass?"

[WinkyDink]

14. Oooohhh, Mr. Boring Monotone!!

Can't wait!
Say, what'll ya wager.....?!

[patricia92243]

15. Bet he want last a month. n/t

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. Darn devil lib'rul media!

never lets conserv'tives get on TV!

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Let's hope they keep him away from stories about race or abortion

[Maestro]

59. And gambling!

And education! And... :hi:

[gulfcoastliberal]

20. What an empty, hollow, shell of its former self CNN has become

I used to watch them all the time. Now I tune out all cable "news" excepting Countdown. What the hell is CNN thinking?!

[Kingshakabobo]

22. Genocide Bill? Great. n/t

[Rex]

23. You mean racist, mega-gambler Bennett?

Yeah he should fit right in on CNN.

[Al-CIAda]

33. You mean racist, mega-gambler Bennett, member of PNAC....

[blm]

53. Racist, mega-gambler, Dominatrix worshipping Bennett, member of Pnac.

.

[oasis]

55. I hope Bennett gets a ton of questions about PNAC during his CNN run.

How's this guy going to sell his notion of empire to the general public?

[Rex]

60. Racist, mega-gambler, sado-masochist, a PNAC founder, nazi enabler,

sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot! A low down, good fer nothin, larcenous, perverted worm!

[oasis]

67. Many of the PNACers out front pushing the Iraq war were Jewish neo-cons

William Kristol, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz. A while back,David Brooks wrote an editorial stating that "neo-con" was just a liberal media code word for "Jew".

For that reason, Bennett (a catholic), may be CNN's designated point man in their propaganda blitz for the invasion of Syria/Iran.

[William Bloode]

24. So they switch from a...

Douche bag traitor to a moral hypocrit? Who would thought something so stupid may happen in the halls of CNN?

You woulda thought they would have tried to find someone with less baggage than "bet it all" Bill Bennet. Of course the sheeple don't care. They'll just lap it up, and talk of how Bill is such an outstanding vision of moral character.

[MO_Dem]

46. CNN probably got him real cheap

You know, now we're in the repig era, which means we're in a race to the bottom. Dumber and cheaper REALLY IS better! :sarcasm:

[Cha]

28. Plus he's a fucking hypocrite! Oh, wait

..that's in bennett's favor.

[otohara]

62. Not Just A Fucking Hypocrite....ANOTHER

GOP fucking hypocrite. To get a spot on MSM cable channel if you're a republican, you must be....

a) a criminal
b) raging hypcrite
c) both

[Cha]

65. Both is

BETTER!@!

[DemGirl7]

31. Oh great....

and you thought "the Prince of Darkness" Novak was bad, CNN now hires old slot machine Bill. I wonder how many times he is going to advocate aborting "every black baby" in the country, on air?? He is such an asshole.

[Arkham House]

35. I guess General Pinochet was unavailable...

[wicket]

37. Cue up Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler"

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

38. Oh bullcrap!

I'd rather have Novak back!

[TheCowsCameHome]

39. It was either that or become a jockey

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

40. Will he have a new segment featuring his "Vegas locks of the week"?

[wanpete]

41. if cnn can't do any better than hiring this racist wingnut, they are truly

pathetic. For pete's sake, the guy said that aborting all black babies would lower the crime rate. There are plenty of neocon rethug wannabe media shills that they could find. Why hire him?

[hopeisaplace]

42. GAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ddeclue]

49. That sucks....

:puke:

[a kennedy]

50. The Bill Bennett of the Clinton administration????

Oh my gawd......I heard him on some conservative think tank seminar on C-SPAN. He was always a democrat, but had reservations, and then had some light turn on, and he was then a republican. I think during Reagan's time. HE'S A DIP SH*T!!!

[Kickin_Donkey]

51. That's how it is in this corporatist, neoconservative plutocracy ...

where up is down, and down is up, that we now live in.

In this bizarre world, the Pukes always seem to fail UPWARD.

Subvert the Constitution? Get a radio show like Ollie North.
Rig an election? Run for Congress and win a la Katherine Harris.
Lose an election to a dead man? Become U.S. attorney general.
Dead aide found in your office? Cool, Joey Scarborough, get your own talk show on MSNBC.
As CIA chief, allow 9/11 to happen under your watch? Get a medal from the White House.
Go AWOL from your National Guard service, spend much of your early adulthood drunk and/or high, run two oil companies into the ground? Beautiful, become president of the nation!

It's always a soft landing for the Pukes. Meanwhile, someone like Phil Donahue has the top-rated show on MSNBC -- and gets canned.

[AtomicKitten]

52. Novak's a-hole shoes were hard to fill.

Bennett is a moralizing twat. What the hell is CNN thinking?

[Snotcicles]

66. I'll bet they got him cheap. There is nothing of value left in this guy

he is like a used car salesman.

[Hyernel]

54. CNN take a gamble.

Throws craps

[in_cog_ni_to]

56. I was hoping for Phil Donahue! Damn.

When will they ever give up on the FAUX news competition? I want Ted Turner to buy back CNN!!!!!:grr:

[flyarm]

57. all cnn has is conservative commentors!!

cnn= conservative nazi network!

they are going on child block in my home along with my 3 yr old ban on fox in my home!!

they will get no ratings from me...and if keith olberman was not on msnbc..they would be on child block as well..and if i have to watch that * whoring witch nora one more time on msnbc..msnbc might be in danger in my house as well!!!!!!

wow i hate that ^%%#@#$^%^...i really would like to scratch her eyeballs out!..and smear that lipstick all over her face!!

wow..rant over...:rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

fly

[bpilgrim]

61. another shark jumped... folks need to stop feeding the M$MWs

cancel your cable, they might start listening since $$$ seems to be the only thing they understand.

even if they don't ever change at least you will feel better & not have your head filled with BS.

peace
