Thanks to Bob Owens for tipping us to this. Death brings out the jackass in many of us, including some commenters — or rather, ex-commenters — on this very site. Not so in the case of Jack Cafferty; his inner jackass is always out and proud. Here’s the latest example, in which he expresses his displeasure with CNN’s blanket coverage of Anna Nicole Smith’s death as only a true jackass can. His defeatism about the surge at the beginning of the clip isn’t related, but I thought it’d be a fun bonus.

And here’s another curiosity from earlier in the day, recorded several hours before Smith’s body was found: Rosie O on “The View” noting the sad state Smith was in. Probably no one in the world outside of ANS’s own family feels as bad as Rosie does right now. I hope she doesn’t take heat for it; kicking her is always fun, but she shouldn’t have to pay for a coincidence.
