Jack Cafferty: "You know, if you were a real cynic, you could also wonder if the oil companies might not be pulling the price of gas down to help the Republicans get re-elected in the midterm elections a couple of months away."
Cafferty then went on to his question of the day: Who do you believe when it comes to whether Iraq has descended into a civil war? Again, it should come as no surprise, that Cafferty was just as cynical on that issue as he was about the falling gas prices:
Cafferty: "Iraq’s prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, says there’s no civil war in Iraq, and furthermore there never will be. This is the leader of a government, in a country where the Shia and Sunnis have been fighting and killing each other for hundreds of years. You know, sort of like a civil war...When he was asked over this past weekend how soon American forces would be leaving, he said, within a year, maybe sooner. I’ll have whatever he’s having."
Cafferty ended the segment the way he started it, with a sardonic view on falling gas prices:
Cafferty: "The interesting thing to watch on that story about gas prices is what happens to them right after the midterms, John."
King: "Always the cynic, Jack Cafferty. We’ll check back in a little bit later. Thank you, Jack."
