Who is Jack Cafferty and why is he allowed on television?

[Blue_State_Elitist]

Sitting here watching CNN's new "in your face" attempt at Fox News style journalism and they keep giving some idiot named Jack Cafferty face time to share his forced cynical opinions on the issues.

Who is this jerk?

[SteppingRazor]

1. He used to be on in the mornings...

Peddling his same cynicism. Been at CNN for years and years.

3. he started out on local news stations in New York

and was an anchor for the WB 10:00 news

6. even earlier than that

he was an anchor at the NBC affiliate in my home town of Des Moines Iowa, believe it or not.

7. huh? i didn't know that

in nyc he wasn't as much of an ass. he was a bit gruff, but at the time news anchors were still pretty much just reporting not editorializing

2. He's O'Lielly's understudy from the Grumpy Uncle Acting School

:D

4. haha, well that explains it.

It seems like he's on the brink of laughing at his own uselessness every time Wolf the whore asks him to chime in.

11. "Dern kids, always on my lawn, wearing them bell bottoms..."

I love flashbacks... ;)

5. Looks like Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street?

Cafferty drives me nuts.

[Citizen Jane]

10. How dare you!

Please don't insult Oscar the Grouch like that!

j/k! :evilgrin:

8. How to feel disgusted with mankind in five seconds after Cafferty. A

court jester whose job it is to bring a person down down down.

9. Jack Cafferty hit a guy on a bicycle with his car

dragged the guy's bike for two blocks, and went through 2 red lights with a cop a numerous pedestrians screaming at him to stop. He's a real peach of a guy.:scared:

12. I used to watch CNN and

It was a "blast from the past" to be reminded of Jack Cafferty -
and it reminded me how happy I am to have not to mentally deal with those a-holes anymore.

13. His morning program was dissolved, and he is still under contract...

once it's up, I am pretty sure he'll be gone.
