Just before reading e-mailed responses to his “Cafferty Files” question of the 4pm EST hour on Thursday afternoon's The Situation Room on CNN, “How important is the new Osama bin Laden tape?", Jack Cafferty proposed a conspiracy existed in the timing, one meant to help Bush justify his NSA wiretapping: “The last time we got a tape from Osama bin Laden was right before the 2004 presidential election. Now here we are, four days away from hearings starting in Washington into the wiretapping of America's telephones without bothering to get a court order or a warrant, and up pops another tape from Osama bin Laden. Coincidence? Who knows.” One viewer endorsed Cafferty's conspiracy theory: “It seems suspicious. Every time the Republicans get into trouble, bin Laden sends a tape. Is it possible bin Laden's working out of the White House?” Earlier, Cafferty took a shot at President Bush's decision to invade Iraq: “The thought of this mutant hanging out in a cave somewhere and sending taped threats to the American people makes me angry. Why wasn't this guy taken care of before we went wandering off into Iraq?” (Transcripts follow.)

How do these people get loose?
Cafferty isn't Andy Rooney, but CNN hired him to play the part. Most of the time, he's merely laughable, but sometimes, he dares expose his idiocy.
Caffery has to be angling for a gig on 'Air America'.
I think it has something to do with the moon phases...
Wow. I forgot that CNN was still on. I programed it off my TV years ago and never see it anymore. And I really don't miss it.
"Why wasn't this guy taken care of before we went wandering off into Iraq?"
Ask your hero Bill Clinton. He had the chance to take him out and chose not to do so.
I saw him once on CNN - he struck me as the grumpy next-door neighbor who complains about everything and is never happy. What a sad little life.
Because crazy loons have rights too?? ... or so says the ACLU
What's CNN?
Yeah, thats the ticket. Bush gets Osama to make a tape everytime he wants one. It is easier for the libs to think this way, no wear and tear on their brains.
Cafferty is a drunk....
It will be tuff for the loons to play both sides of this one. Not that consistency has ever been much of a concern for them, but they would like us to simultaneously believe that the tape is a fake and planned by Bush, and the tape is real and evidence that we should quit the war.
"Bush made this tape to convince us that wire taps are needed."
"Bin Laden made this tape and we should accept his offer of truce."
I agree, he has the right to all the Prozac we can shove down his bile-clogged throat.
My prediction is the voting Americans won't buy this crap. Instead, they'll elect people who want to find and kill the terrorists. And that ain't the Democrats.
CNN never fails to disappoint!
Cafferty is a drunken communist.
I was wondering the same thing. Where do these crazy bastids come from?
