Who's Jack Cafferty? Wasn't he a reciever with the Giants, then went to the Broncos and has been really good until he broke his leg in 2 places?
Don't know how many Freepers just caught it but Jack Cafferty just blew his cool on CNN about "Bush's leadership being gone after 9-11..." quoting editorials from newspapers that Bush has bungled this big time etc...the government has fallen flat on its face...this is the worst thing to happen in this country from Watts to the earthquakes in california etc...
Said where the HELL has he been? Continued to bash everyone connected to Bush Admin and said that letters pouring in say every single person writing into CNN says the government is letting these people die...he moved onto the fact that it is race related and that they are poor...he is coming again in a few mins to explain his views on that...
Unreal...he really lost it
He did it again...adding to this thread...amazing...this was much worse than last time
Total meltdown
I thought he was that dude in the Beaver Brown Band.

NEW YORK -- Like most journalists, CNN morning anchor Jack Cafferty would prefer to cover news than make it.
Especially when it's bad news.
But Tuesday, Cafferty was the story, being met by photographers as he entered a midtown court to plead guilty in a May 14 hit-and-run accident. According to the criminal complaint, Cafferty was made an abrupt turn and hit bicyclist Billy Maldonado.
About five people tried to stop Cafferty by running after the car, according to the complaint, but the newsman continued through at least two red lights, while dragging the bicycle underneath the vehicle. Maldonado, 48, who was knocked to the ground, suffered bruises and some bone damage.
Cafferty was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, assault and harassment. He was allowed to plead guilty to a traffic violation: Operating a motor vehicle knowing or having cause to know property damage had been caused. He was sentenced to 70 hours of community service, with six months to complete it, and a $250 fine. He also made restitution.
Cafferty had no comment Tuesday but the criminal complaint said Cafferty told police he saw the bicyclist get off the ground but didn't realize he had hit him. "I am unaware I was in an accident," he said.
Attorney Suzanne Holzberg, who represents Maldonado, expressed disappointment over the proceedings. "I think he got off pretty easy," she said. Maldonado, she said, still needs an operation on his right elbow.
