Cafferty to Blitzer: 'Don't make excuses' for Palin
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Cafferty_to_Blitzer_Dont_make_excuses_0926.html

For those who feel sympathy for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during her recent response to a question on the bailout, here is a word of advice.

Don't tell Jack Cafferty.

The CNN anchorman lambasted Palin for her thoughts on the $700 billion bailout proposed by the Bush administration. After showing a clip of the Alaskan governor's Friday interview with Katie Couric on CBS' The Early Show, he had this to say.

"If John McCain wins, this woman will be one 72-year-old's heartbeat away from being president of the United States, and if that doesn't scare the hell out of you, it should," Cafferty said.

4. Jack Cafferty is the only reason why I would even try to watch CNN
If I had my way, Cafferty would be the one with the show, not Wolf Blitzer. It's my policy to try to avoid all glimpses of Wolf Blitzer and the only reason to make an exception for that personal policy is Jack Cafferty.

10. I wonder what Katie Couric was thinking during that answer?
I bet it was difficult keeping her composure.

12. I seriously have no doubt that Blitzer feels an intellectual kinship with Palin.
