"If I were George Bush, I would fire me." -- anonymous
(I heard this a while back on Jack Cafferty's show from a caller-in, but I have no idea who he was).
Perhaps not too many people know who Jack Cafferty is, of "Cafferty Files" fame on CNBC. But they should; he is really funny, and his job is, basically, to vent his frustrations carefully enough to avoid offending too many people on the CNBC staff, but to invite as many intelligent ventors as possible to contribute to his show. He reads some of the better-expressed opinions on the air, always the hardliner votes, no matter which direction they lean.
No one ever has ever wondered about how Jack feels on any one topic. Mostly, he berates stupid politicians and policies very cleverly. I probably agree with Jack about half the time, but laugh about 95% of the time. He has every senior citizen's dream job. They pay him to be crochety.
If he had his own radio talk-show, I would definitely listen in. Many of his criticisms bear excellent logic, and he almost always offers the justification for his critiques. He isn't a ranter, so much as a teacher with attitude. He has serious points to make, but makes them humorously.
It's downright funny. You can read up a little on Jack (and see his pic) at the CNN situation room site here: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/blog/
