CNN stands for "Cafferty Nattering Nuttily"

Once upon a time--in the last century--Jack Cafferty had a certain amount of charm. He was aging into a kind of Andy Rooney-like curmudgeon-itude, displaying a witty equal-opportunity disdain for the petty rudenesses and idiocies of every day life.

But instead, somewhere during the last few years, Cafferty himself became rude and idiotic. Although, of course, since much of his rudeness was aimed at George W. Bush, he has no doubt received high-fives from his masters at CNN, whch was once known as the "Clinton News Network," and might yet again earn that label.

The best single index of Cafferty's decline and fall into zealotry is NewsBusters, the great blog-pendium. NewsBusters' Scott Whitlock caught Cafferty descending even deeper into the Bush-bashing abyss, as the CNN man lamented that it was "strange" that the Democrats weren't picking up on the effort by outgoing Cong. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) to impeach Bush.

What is Cafferty doing, spending tube time talking up Cynthia McKinney? The crackpot Congresswoman will no doubt spend the rest of her post-"public service" career (she was booted by her constituents earlier this year) hanging out with Cindy Sheehan, Hugo Chavez, and Noam Chomsky. And so is Cafferty giving McKinney this big wet kiss? Maybe because he believes all that left-wing stuff. Or maybe he's just following the line at CNN. Or maybe a little bit of both.
