1. IF?!?! Woah nelly!

:wtf:

[Supersedeas]

10. the photo caption sums it up nicely....well done

[are_we_united_yet]

30. "Whoah Nelly!"

Couldn't help but notice that reference to Bozo!

:)

[neverforget]

2. Well, he is popular with 30 some percent of 'mericans

:eyes:

[LSparkle]

3. What's up with Cafferty and Kyra Phillips? Do they hate each other?

The "heat" during their last exchange didn't seem scripted but truly biting ... surprising they'd let it show quite so much.

[Marr]

11. I didn't see it, but Kyra Phillips is a Bush whore.

Cafferty seems to be making somewhat of a name for himself by criticizing her tin god, so that may explain it.

[leftchick]

14. Jack looked like he wanted to spit on her!

and I don't blame him! What a shrew.

[blm]

32. If they were in the same room he would have. Kyra loves Bush and usually

attacks anyone who exposes Bush's crimes or incompetence.

SHE is the real bully here and uses her position to try to diminsh anyone critical of Bush.

[leftchick]

33. totally agree blm

she is one of the worst. Oh how far the US media has fallen. It is shameful.

[Lugnut]

37. My money is on

Jack Cafferty in a nose to nose debate between he and Kyra. Old age and treachery trumps youth and exuberance. ;)

[blm]

43. heheh...plus he has the facts straight while she's spinning desperately.

.

[MADem]

51. She'd better stay off her bike when he is around!!!!

Drivers need to be held accountable.

Like most journalists, CNN morning anchor Jack Cafferty would prefer to cover news than make it...But Tuesday, a stunned Cafferty was greeted by photographers as he went into a midtown Manhattan court to plead guilty in connection with a hit and run accident.

According to the criminal complaint, Cafferty was driving a Cadillac with a New Jersey Press license plate on Ninth Avenue near 42nd Street May 14th when he allegedly made an abrupt turn and hit bicyclist Billy Maldonado.

About five people tried to stop Cafferty by running after the car, waving their arms and yelling, "Hey Stop," according to the complaint, but the newsman allegedly continued through at least two red lights, while dragging the bicycle underneath the vehicle. Maldonado, who was knocked to the ground, suffered bruises.

Cafferty was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, assault and harassment. But Tuesday he was allowed to plead guilty to only a traffic violation: Operating a motor vehicle knowing or having cause to know property damage had been caused. He was sentenced to 70 hours of community service, with six months to complete it, and a $250 fine. He also apparently made restitution....

[npincus]

52. yes- wonder if she's on a list of GOP/ B*sh donors?

[Atman]

21. Kyra just loooooves Bushie!

She's too young and stupid to know anything. She was probably just real impressed by Mr. Bush' purty airplane.

[LSparkle]

39. Yeah, wasn't she the one B. Boxer criticized for being a shill for WH?

[Jim Sagle]

44. The very same.

[NNN0LHI]

45. They brought Kyra in to get everyone back on the reservation n/t

[Cocoa]

46. Nancy Pelosi told Kyra she should go on Bush's payroll

told it to her face during an interview, and to add insult to injury, Nancy addressed her as "Myra." :-)

[high density]

49. Phillips loves Bush and the Bush war machine

Cafferty isn't too impressed with anything Bush is doing it seems. I don't like the guy but he has been more on target since he started working on "The Situation Room."

[catmandu57]

4. If? If?

Jesus I want what ever this slimebag is smoking.

[Inland]

5. So what happens "if " Bush becomes unpopular?

The year 2004?

[NNN0LHI]

18. I don't know? I fell unconscious after he said that n/t

[mshasta]

6. what!!

...they still don't know that he is unpopular?

[Marr]

7. What's supposed to happen if Bush "becomes" unpopular?

[Hissyspit]

13. Yes, what was the context of the conversation? nt

[napi21]

22. Schneider said he will lose all support and not be able to do anything!

He said something about every politician is a person unto himself. If he loses support of the people, he will be impotent for the rest of his term.

[Marr]

23. Wow- biting political insight from Bill Schneider.

An unpopular president is unable to move an agenda. Geez- he must be a Harvard man- that's fucking brilliant. Congratulations, Bill.

:P

(Thanks for the info, btw)

[Inland]

47. No wonder he gets the big bux.

What a meritocracy.

[soleft]

8. If he becomes unpopular with the people who matter

:crazy:

[Hissyspit]

9. As the professor always says on 'Futurama': "Whaaa??"

Um, check the polls occassionally?

[leftchick]

12. he corrected himself

I believe he said right after that "The president is unpopular."

[pacalo]

24. Good to know -- thanks for clarifying.

[SF Bay Area Dem]

15. I also heard him say immediately afterwards "which he is"...

...or something like that...

[Walt Starr]

16. The media won't use the "U" word until the polling gets to

61% disapproval or greater.

I'm sorry, but even 59% is not considered "unpopular".

[AX10]

19. 59% is unpopular.

[July]

31. Yet 50.7% (supposedly) of the vote is a "mandate." Go figure. nt

[tsuki]

17. Now, now, everyone. He is the leader of the most flat broke country

of the world.

[liberal N proud]

20. IF? WTF?

What would Billy boys definition of UNPOPULAR be?

[DearAbby]

25. :::Taps Monitor::: Hellooooooooo

jaysus, How low do the polls have to be, before this idiots finally see? Are they passing out oxy like chicklets?

[0007]

26. Can't stand that effeminate asshole, Bill Schneider.

[NNN0LHI]

38. Hey we all have a feminine side now

I once had to take some kind of psyche test that asked if I had played with dolls when I was a young boy. Yes or NO? I wrote down "your going to have to catch my ass playing with them to find that out" and left it at that.

Don

[0007]

40. Have ya ever noticed that daddy bush has the same traits?

[lpbk2713]

27. Yo, Bill. Have I got a T-Shirt for you.

Wear it with pride, Bozo.

[Seansky]

28. IIIIFFFFF? Which planet is he living in? Actually, which dimension?

[HootieMcBoob]

29. Bill Schneider - resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute?

I'm shocked! Shocked!
http://www.aei.org/scholars/scholarID.53/scholar.asp

:puke:

[against all enemies]

34. Yeah Bill, and if you become homely.....

never mind.

[Guaranteed]

35. Bill Schneider is the worst hack in the entire news business. nt

[mcscajun]

36. IF? WTF?? The boat has sailed on When, never mind IF.

What a feckless moran.

[Tactical Progressive]

41. If Bush becomes unpopular

I'm sure CNN will be giddily talking incessantly about why his approval ratings have risen to that level.

[Hubert Flottz]

42. Schneider will soon get a job as a Washington lobbyist for the...

Kool-Aid Company!

[Mr_Spock]

48. I think he should get the administration's @#$s out of his eyeballs

What a fucking joke - do they have to give every last bit of doubt to the administration? Especially this guy - what a kiss-ass.

[Kurovski]

50. Bill is still speaking directly to the brittle minds of the deluded.

Good luck with that, Mr. S.
