Am I the only one who is pissed that they pulled the plug on Capitol Gang?
My wife and I have an informal tradition of watching Capitol Gang on Saturdays so we can yell at the screen any time Novak and O'Bierne give open their mouths (show how exciting our lives are). This week we discovered that the show had been canceled.

I know the show had its faults, but it was the last hard-news panel discussion show on CNN. And the last one on any cable network where the liberals/moderates outnumbered the conservatives.

Why the Hell do I have cable, again?

1. I'll miss it too.
My husband & I always watched. I thought is was a good show because I feel the liberal view was well represented. The outrage of the week was a good place to see the stupid things that outrage Republicans, always something stupid! There are very few things left where you can hear an actual view point from either side. I tried to watch the Beltway boys once, what a joke!

2. the Beltway boys
its always fun to watch a rabid right-winger pretend to debate someone who is merely conservative...not! I can't believe the one guy actually claims to be a Democrat. I guess he's a Democrat like Zell Miller is a Democrat.

I'm not sure why Capitol Gang was canceled, but I suppose it had to do with ratings. As much as people complain about shows where the guests and hosts just shout each other down, it seems that these are the types of shows people want to see. And its unfortunate.

3. Have you noticed that Novak's
show have been canceled. I think that when the people turned on him they decided to remove him from a lot of different shows and cancel the show entirely.

4. Novak is a traitor.
He shouldn't be on the air.
