A bigger surprise would be if Jack Cafferty jumped from "insanity" to "sanity." Sadly, all signs indicate that he will continue his associations with CNN and "insanity" for the remainder of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Booze and the Bomb? And media mogul Ted Turner has ripped into President Bush, calling him a "reformed alcoholic" with "his finger on the nuclear trigger" and who "might decide to get drunk again." Speaking at an event honoring his promotion of global understanding, the founder of CNN said the president lacks a true understanding of the world and called the war in Iraq, "a big waste of time." Good ol' Tedladin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should only present the US (Bush admin) point of view and nothing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
