Jack Faces Flack


CNN is being sued for $1.3 billion over remarks made by Jack Cafferty. The lawsuit was brought by a NYC based beautician and a Chinese elementary school teacher. The $1.3 billion amounts to one dollar per Chinese citizen - who are the alleged victims of Cafferty's remarks. Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made "junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food" and added: "They're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."
No hidden meaning, there!
I predict that he'll do the same thing he did when he was called on the carpet for calling Donald Rumsfeld a war criminal. He'll apologize and add that he still thinks that what he said was right.
The beauty of all this is that he has the right to say what he wants and we have the right to agree with him...or not!
