Video: Jack Cafferty calls Gonzales a “loser”
posted at 12:28 pm on May 12, 2007 by Ian
CNN’s resident curmudgeon Jack Cafferty injected his opinion once again on last night’s edition of “The Situation Room.” Channeling Harry Reid, Cafferty repeatedly called Attorney General Gonzales a “loser.”

Compared to what most liberals say on their shows about Bush Administration personnel this could almost be considered ‘objective’

Loser? That’s almost a compliment these days. The only insult that gets any traction is assassination. Gotta step it up a notch, Cafferty. Bam!

The bias doesn’t bother me, it is expected, but is that the best dig you can come up with? Saying “loser” repeatedly? Why don’t they just replace him with a snotty junior high kid and save themselves the money on salary? Pay ‘em with snickers bars and Xbox DVDs.

It isn’t bias if it’s true.

It means so much coming from him.

OK, so he certainly is a crotchety old man, but what’s the difference between his bias and John Gibson’s? Well, aside from the obvious.

Okay I know who Gonzales is but Jack who?!

Cafferty has been infected with Olbermann In Mouth Disease.

What an insult to losers!

The difference between John Gibson and Cafferty is that the left says only FOX is biased, not CNN.

Before being elevated to VP of Jihad Support and Bush Hatred on Al-CNN, Cafferty’s biggest scoop was reporting the closing of the last Automat on WNEW-TV News “Live at Five” in NYC.

Hold it! Big forehead…. he must say important things….

Gonzales merely rose to his level of incompetence, which is about 20 rungs on the ladder above Cafferty’s, who, due to CNN’s really sharp personnel dept, is currently working about 5 above his.

los·er (lū’zer)
n.
-One that fails to win: the losers of the game.
-One who takes loss in a specified way: a graceful loser; a poor loser.
-One that fails consistently, especially a person with bad luck or poor skills: “losers at home seeking wealth and glory in undeveloped countries” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
-One that is bad in quality: That book is a real loser.
I think that describes him Perfectly on two counts.
This is typical of all of Bush’s appointees, party and favors first, competence last.
VP (Cheney), Sec of Defense (Rumsfeld), Sec. of State (Rice not Collin), UN (John Bolton), World Bank (Wolfowitz), FEMA (Brown-ee ya doing ah heckva job), Homeland Security (Bernard Bailey “Bernie” Kerik, mob man), Attorney General (first Harriet Ellan Miers than Gonzalez – I forgot don’t remember 70 times). This BS goes down to low level appointees and even interns, all vetted for political party loyalty.
Gonzalez is spitting in the eye of the American people and making a mockery of the legal system. He has NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG? How about lied knowingly (and very poorly) to Congress and is clearly incompetent. What does he do with his DAY? If any of us performed like this at our job, we would be fired. What they are hiding in Karl Rove was calling the shots. Hummm political officers running the government. Sounds like communism. Hey “The Constitution” is just paper, old paper at that. It does not apply to Bush who has “executive privilege”.
Clearly Harriet Ellan Miers and Gonzalez are the greatest legal minds in America for the top Job in Justice? DO you know how important this job is? Why put weak people in there. So Karl Rove can manipulate it as he clearly did.
This is why Bush makes dumb decisions, all partisan and political because he surrounded himself in a bubble, a cabal of co-dependant enablers. Hey Gonzo, wire tap with no FISA court oversight? sure; Torture? sure; Fire US Attorneys so we can gain political advantage? sure. What a good boy. His assistants either contradict his testimony or resigned and took the 5th, Monica Goodling . The 5th like a mob member a criminal.
Did you know Pat Roberts Regent University has over a 100 grads in the Bush admin? Monica Goodling who resigned and took the 5th? A proud Regent U grad. The rating of the law school? Tier 4 by U.S. News, the lowest ranking and essentially a tie for 136th place out of 170 schools surveyed. These folks are getting high positions in government? Hummmmmm. Lisa Kruska Current Assistant U.S. Secretary of Labor, another Regent U grad, with a degree in Government. I am a strong believer in the student not the NAME of the school but this is BS political appopintments and favors that affect the government. When Saddams statue fell who did they seek to send to Iraq to rebuild the country? 20 something year old’s, bairly out of college, never left the country or had a passport, from conservative organizations, lobby groups and think tanks around D.C. WOW! Great idea.
Let me guess, you are ok with it because its a republican doing it and they are conservative appointees. Lincoln (who republicans love to name drop) and Clinton, arguably one of the most successful presidents in recent history all put people in high positions of the opposite party or former opponents. Lincoln brought all his opponent’s and detractors from his presidential run into his administration and actually listened to them! Hummmmm. Bush is isolated.
Any one that supports Gonzalez is a partisan moron. Put God and Country before party.
