Like the equally irrelevant Bill Clinton, liberal media zillionaire Ted Turner occasionally says something asinine to get the media attention he can't live without. In his latest rant, he deemed the Sept. 11 terrorists "brave" and ridiculed President Bush.
"The reason that the World Trade Center got hit is because there are a lot of people living in abject poverty out there who don't have any hope for a better life," Turner said Monday at Brown University in Providence, R.I.
"I think they [the 19 hijackers] were brave at the very least," Turner said, and they "might have been a little nuts."
Turner groused about Al Gore's failure to steal the 2000 presidential election.
"A few more votes in Florida, and we could have had the best environmental president we ever had," he said. "Now we've got an oil man. He [President Bush] is like another Julius Caesar. Just what we need."
But like fellow Guilty White Liberal Terry McAuliffe, this frequent critic of capitalism and wealth loves capitalism when it comes to his private riches. Asked if he would allow public access to his vast landholdings in Montana, he replied:
"Can I live in your home with you? We believe in private property in this country. You buy it, and you can share it."

In all serious, I think Ted may be mentally off. He's weird, IMO.

Remember that Ted Turner is Big Media, which makes money being by feeding the liberal masses information to their liking.

Some of the Clinton cronies came from Brown. Can't remember who. Wasn't it the health care genius ?
To: JeanS
You know someone made a great point the other day--that it's time that "we" started talking about BIG media(like Ted Turner) and BIG education instead of BIG oil and BIG tobacco companies.

Turner has indicated he suffers from Schizophrenia, which he thinks allows him to say and do stupid things and get away with it.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Jane left Ted because he isn't far enough to the left.
