CNN anchor tells bullies of kid who won't say pledge: It is you, my friends, who are the wads

Via Greg Hengler, didn’t Cronkite used to end his nightly show this way? “And that’s the way it is. And a personal note to the boys at Lincoln Elementary: Quit pulling Joey’s underwear over his head.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s a sweet sentiment and doubtless appreciated by anyone who’s ever been called a nerd or a geek or a dweeby little beta male who should run home to mommy. *cough* But … calling kids “wads” during a national newscast? I knew CNN was going to have to jazz things up once Dobbs left, but this bold new direction is even bolder than expected.
