Tom DeLay says he’ll be CNN commentator
Tom DeLay is becoming a commentator for CNN, according to John Fund. In today's WSJ Political Diary, he writes:

"Despite his antipathy toward liberals, Mr. DeLay joked that he's happy to work with them. He told me he is about to sign on with CNN as a commentator. 'I may be their only conservative on air, but someone has to do it.'"

8. I'm sure if Augusto Pinochet would have lasted a little longer
he would have gotten an offer.

25. I don't remember
but I did think he was looking at time..NO? Guess not. These CNN idiot's aren't looking at the percentage hike of Olberman and the declining one at Faux? Okay... they ought to be careful what they wish for, but I'm all for them showing their true colors. Way to go.. It's like coulter speaking for Repubs... it'll only bring them down faster.

First beck and now delay. Wonder if they will get libby to give his commentaries from jail. I like to watch Caffery once in a while and also Lou Dobbs, but I guess I'll program them out of my remote also.

FOX they have already. CNN represents what you might call the Iran of Republifascist media contagion. It's what's coming next.

48. I think CNN has already fallen...
Glen Beck, Candy Crowley, Lou Dobbs, Wolf Blitzer, Paula Zahn?

Are there any progressives on air? Does Christianne Amanpour (sp) still exist to them, or has she been sent to some remote CNN-International bureau?

Funny how they all can suck up and work with the big, bad non-existent libruls since it pays so well.

call, write or e-mail CNN to dissuade them from hiring Delay. Call, write or e-mail their advertisers and tell them you will stop listening to CNN and stop buying their products.
