CNN’s Jack Cafferty Returns to Palin Bashing After Three-Week Hiatus

Regular CNN commentator Jack Cafferty may be "on the mend" after a three-week break for a "unanticipated encounter with a surgeon’s scalpel," as he put it, but he certainly hasn’t recovered from his Palin Derangement Syndrome. He launched a new attack on the Alaska governor on Wednesday’s Situation Room. This time, Cafferty returned to the issue of Trooper/Taser-gate and brought up two additional issues that came up this week -- how the RNC spent $150,000 on Palin for new clothing, make-up, and hair care for Palin, and how she used taxpayer’s money to pay for her children to travel with her to official functions. He then came to the following conclusion about the Republican vice-presidential candidate: "How do you present yourself as any kind of candidate of reform when the practices you employ put you in the very same category as every other two-bit, sleazy, opportunistic politician that has come before you?"

Cafferty then asked as his hourly question, "Should Sarah Palin reimburse Alaska taxpayers for her children’s travel and entertainment expenses?" Of course, when Cafferty read some of the viewer responses to this question, he lined up nothing but anti-Palin comments.

Just who, exactly, paid for Michelle’s Iranian caviar and lobster and champagn feast? Inquiring minds want to know.

Cafferty is nothing but a deranged left-wing coward. Attacking a mother and her family over a BS issue like this.

Too bad the scalpel didn’t nick an artery...surgeon must have been a RAT.

If I look up Caffertys comments on Pelosis outrageous demand for seats for her family and friend will I find a rant about that?

Something’s fishy about spending $150K on clothes...I know that’s what’s been reported, but until I see the receipts, I ain’t buyin’ it. $150K....on clothes? That’s a tractor-trailer load! I know Sarah dresses nice, but come on...$150K? I find that VERY hard to believe. My guess is some GOP intern responsible for the RNC credit card enriched themselves...this needs to be investigated. Where are the receipts?

Palin must be putting a hurt on the dimocRATS. They are back into the character assassination mode again.

Something has happened to cause the Communists in the MSM to become very pissed off about Governor Palin.

She ridicules the press at every appearance, skewers Obama drawing blood each time, and attracts more attendees at most events than any Democratic politician in history.

Jack’s a crap weasel.

I think he needs more surgery.
