CNN Signs Former GOP Rep. J.C. Watts
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

CNN has found a new conservative commentator: Former Republican congressman J.C. Watts Jr. "will join CNN as a regular contributor to offer analysis on politics and policy for programs throughout the network," Jon Klein announced today.

Klein said: "J.C. is one of the most respected and effective conservative communicators in the nation's capital. We are glad to welcome him to the CNN team and look forward to his insightful contributions to our network."

The P.R. says Watts is also a Republican strategist and a successful businessman. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in journalism...

6. GEEZUS!! Bennett, Glen whatshisname, and now Watts!
They are scooping up every scumbag around.

Last time anyone heard of Watts he was doing infomercials. I bet he's happy.

18. Yeah, sounds like a balanced bunch there
I wonder if they're bringing in anyone who isn't a screaming right-wing nut to balance these fools?

12. anyone who supports BushCo is NOT conservative
Someday people will catch on to that, but probably not before it's too late.

13. He can be their "on site reporter" at the next CCC convention
You know. The Council of Conservative Citizens, sort of a "kkk lite". J.C. still doesn't know why he couldn't find any of his fellow Republicans in the halls of Congress on the day of the CCC's annual picnic. Now, he can actually go there.

17. Gosh, what is a quarterback doing...
in politics? He is an ignorant shit, who's grovelled his way on
the crumbs from a white-man's racist system. It seems he was smarter
with a pigskin in his hand than a bible. What is it about bibles that
turn the clock back on intelligence?

22. That's it for CNN.
They can look for viewers outside my household.

The morning is nothing but a gigglefest with those silly o'briens.

Then, you've got a right-wing Rush bimbo, followed by that dippy Kyra ... by the time Wolf has finished his hours of lying and Larry has covered the waterfront on the latest missing blonde white woman (or missing cruise groom) and Anderson has finished his puff pieces, CNN already has embarrassed itself throughout the broadcast day.

Now they're going to add all THESE losers?

Ted Turner is probably ready to punch someone. He started a great network, and it's been turned to sh*t!!
