CNN's Jack Cafferty: 'One Can Only Hope' Kerry Story Fades
NewsBusters.org ^ | 10/31/2006 | NewsBusters

Posted on 10/31/2006 9:18:09 PM PST by Mike Bates

This evening's 7:00 PM "The Situation Room" included this exchange among Paula Zahn, Jack Cafferty and Wolf Blitzer:

CAFFERTY: Well, listen, it's tailor-made for the media. We get so sick and tired of, you know, running sound bytes of the candidates that when somebody comes along and does something that's even this much out of ordinary, we pounce on it like cats on a mouse and drag it around until it's dismembered on the living room floor.

ZAHN: Will it be dismembered by election night is the question, Jack Cafferty.

CAFFERTY: If we have our way with it, it will be.

BLITZER: I'm sure there'll be something else that will pop up between and probably an hour from now.

CAFFERTY: One can only hope.

My, my, have you ever seen such mainstream media desire for a hot story to just go away? I certainly don't recall similar sentiments expressed about, say, the Mark Foley scandal.

Coupled with CNN's White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux stating the following hour that "we hope and we think that all of this is going to go away tomorrow," I won't be surprised if tomorrow's coverage centers on more pressing matters. Something, anything, that doesn't place liberals in a bad light.

BBC is throwing kerry under the bus:

BBC: Surprise gift ~~ Comments on John Kerry's comments...

Leadin....

**********************

George Bush and Dick Cheney have been working overtime (and racking up air miles) to rally conservative stalwarts in the final days before the elections, and on Monday they got a gift from an unexpected source: John Kerry.

Maybe he'll run to France until the story dies (sometime tomorrow afternoon, if CNN has its way).

It`s letter to the editor/ talk radio/ tell your friends time, boys and girls. To my way of thinking, this exposes the Rats better then anything, we got to really turn up the heat, especially on newspapers that try to hide it.

Right, right after he thought he was signing up for *safe* coastal patrol that would have kept him out of harms way.

"fyi"
Most likely he will go unscathed in this latest blunder. The people of Mass will shamefully continue to keep him and the whale in the senate.

Sorry, the real news media, the internet and conservative talk radio will not let the reality of Kerry disappear before the election is over.

The link below takes people to the Fox Video where liar and troop basher Kerry turns his non apology into an insane Bush Bashing event like Chavez at the UN.

Just reading the comments at Hotair....we have to have this one.....

**************************************

What a complete and total scumbag! He bad mouthed the troops during the Vietnam war, said that Americans were terrorizing Iraqi women and children in the dead of night and now, again during a time of war disrespects our troops. I thought I was back in 2004 when he started his tirade about the lack of body armor, Humvies, (remember I voted for the money before I voted against it.) This is what America is in for if we allow the Democrats back into a position of power. My god they have Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, Mirsa and Harry (that’s not my land anymore) Reed. If that doesn’t scare the He.. out of you what does?
