OMGOODNESS!

Neil Cavuto, Sr. Business Editor and Anchor on FNC, apparently received an email from an "Ivy League Professor" chiding him for his "bias," telling him that a "real journalist" isn't supposed to be so obviously on the side of the United States in this conflict, telling him that he "betrays journalistic ethics" by so doing.

Cavuto stated that he wouldn't read the professor's name or affiliation, because what he was about to say in reply was so scathing and personal that he wanted to feel free to say it.

Then he LAUNCHED man!

Wish I had a transcript! In essence he told this elitist that he ought to be ashamed for benefitting from the freedom and liberty afforded by this country without showing the least amount of respect or gratitude for it.

If I can find Neil's words, I am GOING to post them! He was almost shaking, he was so angry, but he managed somehow to keep his composure! But he DRILLED this guy!

It was something to witness!

NOTE TO SELF: Never p*ss off Cavuto!

[AFreeBird]

Just saw it. Terms like "Both Barrels" or "Full Broadside" come to mind trying to describe it. Neil was pissed!

[MEG33]

Cavuto takes no prisoners.I love him for it.

[gaucho]

Isn't Al Gore an "Ivy League Professor"?

[ez]

He called him an imbecile and a lilliputian. I loved every second of it.

I saw it too. Good job Neil.

I try to get home in time to hear his commentary each day, he is ususally spot on.

I think you can get transcripts at foxnews.com, might take a day or two to be on their site though.

It looks like that professor is allied with the Saddam-ites and the Paris-ites.

[Enterprise]

I would describe Gore as a Poison Ivy League Professor.

[Samwise]

I thought he lost that job too. ;^)

[MichaelP]

It was great, and dead on the mark!

I saw it and Cavuto did a pretty good job of telling this guy what any FReeper would have loved to. Kudos to Cavuto. When it comes to your homeland, I would think it would be "okay" to love it, and show it, even if you are a television personality. Obviously the professor doesn't feel he can because he's a professor. In the new world order one must be neutral you know...

[KingKongCobra]

It was absolutely wonderful. The best slam I've seen in a long time.

[swheats]

It was sweet to see. I'm tired of hearing how bad the US is doing and applauding everyone else in the Coalition.

[Illbay]

I so admire someone who shows his pique so eloquently!

It's easy to say "ooh, he really got him" just because you happen to agree.

But the fact is that Neil NAILED IT! He's absolutely right! These people take our freedoms and liberties completely for granted. In their minds, the "evils" of America far outweigh any virtues she might have--after all, a nation that would allow the illegal election of George W. Bush must be just as evil as Iraq, shouldn't it?

They completely ignore reality, dismiss the virtues of this great nation while blubbering over the most egregious thugs in the history of humankind.

Sheesh.

[AKA Elena]

I also saw this -- but Neil's end of show comments are almost always riveting! Today's was a real prize!

[CholeraJoe]

Cavuto ROCKS!

[seams2me]

NEIL ROCKS.

I hope this is repeated tonight. I missed it-following the hannity radio show-DANG IT ALL!
