Jack Cafferty, a drunken commentator on CNN, just stated, "the war in Iraq is hampering the relief efforts in New Orleans".....he then asked, "is their any coincidence the same day the photo-ops are available for the President in the ravaged area is the same day the relief convoy arrives???"

Wolf Blitzer chimed in, "these are scenes reminiscent of Africa, not America"....Cafferty chimed in "embarassing"..

Of course they player NO Mayor No-balls comments yet no one has yet to broach the subject at how pathetically unprepared the city was...

Does anyone ever challenge Cafferty at the Castro News Network? Or does Wolfie just let him spew and not even pretend that CNN is balanced.

I know it's been said over and over but this is exactly why people don't watch CNN. To Cafferty's credit at least he is not even trying to hide his bias instead he is wearing right on his sleeve.

I just watched that and turned on the computer to see if anyone else saw that.

Do they realize how pathetic they are?

Jack Cafferty, a drunken commentator on CNN

Ah, so that's it. He makes no sense and comes across as bitter and angry.

I really don't know why he's on the air.

Jack Cafferty really pi$$ed me off on Tuesday with his snarky comments about the President FINALLY cutting short his vacation and doing something about the situation.

The President had been involved in this since before the storm. He pre-emptively declared BOTH MS and LA to be disaster areas so that the Governors knew that Federal funds would be coming to them for their needs. He also, apparently, convinced the LA Governor to finally call for the full evacuation of New Orleans before the storm hit. The morning after the storm hit, the city woke to flooding streets, and it may have been too late to get to those buses.

And they are.

Good point.

If someone on FoxNews said this it would be "racism".

Idjits ... Bad as this has been managed, you CANNOT make the aftermath of a level 4 hurricane and an entire city flooded look anything *but* bad. My God, it's a huge NATURAL disaster.

As for ... 'scenes reminiscent of Africa' hmmm, that's more a comment on the color of the skins of the victim than anything else. Would they say that if the astrodome was filled with white middle-class evacuees???!??

Just compare how this guy responded versus Giuliani's response to 9.11.01.
