In fact, the terrorist supporting al Jazeera might have shown a little more discretion than this America-hating malcontent.
Readers are warned that regardless of political leaning, if you have any respect for the office of the President and those who occupy it, the following report aired during the 5PM installment of Wednesday's "Situation Room" will be quite disturbing:
JACK CAFFERTY, CNN: The question is: Who will history be kindest to, President Bush or Vice President Cheney?
Philip in Toronto: "Kinder to Bush. He was just a dupe and a slow thinker propelled from failure to failure by his father's political and financial connections. Cheney on the other hand is evil and self-absorbed and more than likely an undiagnosed sociopath, a power mad Rasputin unrestrained in his own lies and deceits. He feels no one's suffering but his own."
Maria in Ontario: "History will be more kind to Bush because he is widely regarded as a buffoon and need of adult supervision and totally only under the influence of Cheney and other extremists. On the other hand, Cheney is viewed more as a very evil sinister figure that operated in the shadows to gain favor for himself and his corporate buddies."
Judy in California writes: "It seems Bush is taking the lead here. The White House has given its priority to cleaning up the images of both men so we can all look upon them with great admiration in the future. I wonder how long it will take for the families of the fallen soldiers and those of the dead and maimed Iraqis to change their minds?"
Marie says: "Bush, people tend to forgive incompetence before malice."
Maurice in New Jersey: "I deeply hope when my kids are studying this period in history class, Cheney and Bush will appear as nothing more than a blip, a long forgotten memory of a dark period in our country's history."
And Allan in Buxton, Maine: "Historians are the best fiction writers ever. Bush is just stupid, but Cheney is evil so they will have to use their imaginations to re-write the last eight years to make either of them look human."
If you didn't see your email here, you can go to my blog CNN.com/Caffertyfile, and look for yours there among hundreds of others; not a lot of kind words for either of them.
WOLF BLITZER, HOST: I can see. Jack, thank you.
You've got to be kidding me?
Were there no e-mail messages, even from those disappointed with the past eight years, that at least showed respect for our President and Vice President? Was there no positive feedback that Cafferty could have shared with his audience that might have offered some balance?
Honestly, it's moments like these that make me ashamed to have anything to do with the so-called news industry.
