Crotchety Jack Cafferty Calls The Denver Group “Humorless”?
By SusanUnPC on August 12, 2008 at 6:50 PM in CNN, Democracy, Democratic Nomination
Cough. Jack, you old grouch. During the primaries, you might as well have had “I overlook no opportunity to undermine Hillary” stamped on your forehead. Here’s the crabby curmudgeon’s latest attack:
Some Hillary Clinton supporters want to make sure that the upcoming Democratic Convention doesn’t turn into a “coronation” of Barack Obama.
A humorless organization called “The Denver Group” ran an ad in a Capitol Hill newspaper demanding that Hillary’s name be placed in nomination at the convention and demanding that speeches be allowed in support of her nomination. They’re just full of demands. [HOW UNAMERICAN OF THE DENVER GROUP! Why, THEY'RE NO BETTER THAN THOSE GEORGIANS WITH ALL THEIR DEMANDS! FOR DEMOCRACY, NO LESS! HOW UNREASONABLE IS THAT?!?!?!? DEMANDING DEMOCRACY! SUCH RENEGADES!]
And if they don’t get their way they are threatening a revolt. The ad says, “Will Howard Dean and the DNC turn the Democratic Party into the Boston Tea Party?” More demands. They demand a roll call vote on her nomination… presumably after those speeches they are demanding. This despite the fact that she lost and dropped out of the race months ago. …

What’s going on?
Cafferty’s a misogynist and dry drunk. I mute or turn the channel as soon as he starts to talk. And I watch less and less of CNN.
Roseeriter,
I can’t stand old Jack Cafferty. He is the grossest man (if you can call him that).
I hate CNN now too. I barely ever watch it.
But I too if I should just by some slim chance be watching CNN and he comes on I mute it or change it immediately.
How can CNN have a scummy old guy like that on who is so pro-Obama. I have to wonder WHY?
Perhaps he is married to an African American.
“Humorless” is the new insult. I expect Obama will use it a lot, since it’s a weakness he’d overlooked.
Curious that Obama would use “humorless” as an insult considering that he is the “poster boy” for exactly that. He takes “humorless” to the ;eve; of an art form.
Sorry, “level” not “;eve;”.
Cafferty always look like he’s about to burp up yesterday’s pastrami sandwich. I get heartburn just looking at him.
Okay, that got a huge LOL out of me! Now there’s some humor thanks to Una de Gato.
Jack Cafferty are you reading this?
Why have women bought into the requirement by men that feminists or in this case (Denver Group) are supposed to be funny?
Did we expect people who fought in the civil war to be funny?
Did my attempt at ironic humor fail?
My point is that The Denver Group is simply requesting that the convention be conducted democratically. Jack Cafferty finds their request to be an unreasonable demand.
When requesting democratic process is unreasonable, we are truly in a crisis, and nearing the horrible predicament in Georgia.
The people of Georgia simply wish to live in a democracy.
No Susan I always appreciate your blogs.
I was just frustrated at Cafferty.
I was really talking about the women (not you or really any woman on this site) who allow this sexism to go on by supporting Obama.
Cafferty’s commenters are severely infected with CDS and obamamania. Probably that’s the choir he preaches to.
Susan your articles are great…you do a great job and I do appreciate them..
No, you came through clear here. Very clever photo choice.
The ignorance of the comments on his site are a horror. I only read a few and it was enough to remind me why I no longer go to CNN.
How can they keep the name democratic party after all this? They should be sued for false advertising!
Aw, Susan, quit teasing us… stopping just short of Godwin’s law and all.
Oh get over yourself Jack Cafferty.
AF catfish:
He can’t—he’s got the Obama Disease!
The CaffertyFile blog doesn’t allow any comments that are in anyway Anti-Obamba or Pro-Clinton. They started moderating comments back in February. Only Obambi lovefest comments are allowed. His daily questions have always been of an anti-Hillary nature. I gave up in March trying to post comments there. And I’ve written CNN many times since February about the sexism going on by their broadcasters. They don’t want to hear it.
I do hereby nominate Uppity to respond on behalf of us bitter (old and young) women. After all, you ain’t been SMACKED DOWN until Uppity’s done it. LOL!
Can I get a second?
——
Jack needs a vacation—to Hawaii with his messiah.
I absolutely second that! Love the Uppity rants–NOBODY does it better!
Jack Cafferty demoted himself three rungs on the social ladder when he referred to MEchelle Obama as elegant. A paid pamphleteer, Jack Cafferty must be fired from CNN.
On the same day he gets his walking papers, the pink slips should also be sent to:
Chris Matthews
Keith Olbermann
Bob Herbert
Care to add anyone else to the list?
Mika Bzreshenski or whatever. That woman is the worst of all. Not to mention the fact that she gives men headaches and women a bad name!
Add Rachel Maddow. She is to journalism what MTV is to music.
Maureen Dowd
Frank Rich
AP
Campbell Brown
Andrea Mitchell
Roland Martin and David Gergen
Maureen O’Dowd
Dick Morris, I can’t figure him out,if he’s a girl or a guy…Is he gay?
Most of these people are so unattractive and dull, I can’t believe they’re on TV. I know it’s politics, so the bar is set low, but really. I can smell the BO and Wild Irish Rose when I look at Jack Cafferty.
Wild Irish Rose. ROFL. Maybe he needs some aqua velva for that BO.
Isn’t Cafferty that low rated MSNBC C*ckMunch who was always asking slanted opinion questions designed to disparage hillary and cherry picking responses to read on air giving the impression that the public as 99% for obama and 100% anti Hillary?
He is a useless sack of cow poop filler used to plug the gaping holes in their daily programming as far as i am concerned.
Who cares what he thinks.
Yes and NO. He is on CNN. The rest is right though.
I heard that the keynote speech has been yanked from HRC and she will be just 1 of 4 speakers.
‘Ben Smith, crackerjack reporter and all around stud-muffin, over at Politico exhibited his usual “reporting” today and announced that the Obama/Soetoro campaign had yanked back the Convention’s Keynote Address from Hillary Clinton.
Now, the Obama/Soetoro campaign says Clinton will be only one of four people speaking on the 26th, and that someone else will instead be the Keynote Speaker.’
I have to confess I’m very close to shutting out the rest of the primary/GE. I will never vote for Waffles and I can’t stand to watch what the DNC is doing to HRC.
Nothing’s changed, she’s still the “headline” speaker (or whatever they’re calling it) on Tuesday night.
MO on Monday, HRC on Tuesday, Bill and the Veep on Wednesday, and BHO on Thursday
They also added Nancy Pelosi Monday night,same night as Michelle Obama.
Well, won’t Nancy single handedly bring party unity. Bully for her. This is all so stupid!
Jack has no business calling anyone “humorless”. Jack is the bitter-man’s (mea culpa in advance for lack of a better word) curmudgeon. He must have awakened on the wrong side of life.
I know. Have you ever seen the guy smile? And is the hijacking of democracy supposed to be a laugh riot?
He doesn’t smile–he just inverts his frown. I thought at one time he was rather quaint. Now I just think he’s negative.
As a card-carrying-curmudgeon, I resent being compared with Jock Cafferty (misspelling intentional).
Cafferty is the guy two stools over with Iguana Breath who, unbidden, comes up with: “You know what’s wrong with this Regiment/Company/State/Country? I’ll tell you what’s wrong…” just as he launches into a profanity and spittle laced tirade about a subject about which he knows less than he knows about neutrinos or mu meson particles.
Excretory orifices of his ilk cured me of drinking in public places and start doing all my imbibing at home, on the porch, with company I chose.
Oh Yes, and Jack the Ass-in-the-box is just FULL of good Humor, now isn’t he… I always MUTE the turd.
He has nothing to say that I want to hear.
Why would anyone pay this guy’s salary?
CNN couldn’t get a real curmudgeon like Andy Rooney, a guy who is crotchety and fun to listen to.
LOL … yes
Fred Reed’s pretty witty, but, Walking the Walk instead of just Talking the Talk, he moved to Mexico and sends his copy in by Internet.
Cafferty’s just a third-place contender for Village Asshole, with SPecial Mention for being a Listerine drinker.
If he just showed his pack of Luckies in his pocket on camera…
Larry or anyone interested,
Perhaps someone should write a brief story for publication here with the title “Share Your Stories of Negative Experiences with Obama Supporters.” Out in anonymous cyberspace, in political discussion forums and elsewhere, people who are now supporting Obama who never were Clinton supporters seem dumbfounded at the reports of hostily, vilification, and playing the race card that Clinton supporters received from Obama supporters during the campaign. They always play dumb and claim “no one ever gives specificis.” Well, perhaps we should open up to the readers of the this forum and ask them to share with everyone the kinds of things they experienced at the hands of the Obama thugs. This could then be a compendium, a summary, of all the indignities we faced merely for daring not to support the Chosen One. It might be a good idea to put together. I imagine many who joined PUMA dealt directly with these any many others issues (such as sexism).
I think that’s a good idea. I’ve thought of something along those lines: let’s show the world what “Hope” & “Change” really looks like. Expose the outrageous hypocrisy, bullying, and anti-democratic practices of Obama’s campaign and it’s proponents.
God I wish I could get all my old Hillary diaries and the horrible comments i got from dkos. I tried to get in there awhile ago and they must have been deleted.

No one at CNN could possibly take Jack seriously. He is newsworthy as their “lighter moment” always, perhaps a counter to Fox’s O’Reilly…they only share similar backgrounds.
But he is still on the air, perhaps because he is in the protected EEOC “Over 40″ class of employees that can sue CNN if he is fired, for age discrimination.
I am in that class also. It is a strange thing that most of our productive and experienced members of our society have a foothold on the legal system to sue it. Must be a good reason.
Here’s the comment that I left on Cafferty’s blog:
“Why should Hillary Clinton’s delegates be treated any differently than the delegates for all of the previous Democratic Conventions?
There have only been four conventions since 1832 during which the nominee was decided by acclamation instead of a ballot, and all four nominees were incumbents (FDR, LBJ, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore).
Hillary Clinton’s supporters simply want her to have the same opportunity that all of her predecessors have had. Barack Obama is still a candidate, albeit the presumptive nominee, but he is not an incumbent.
Imagine the outcry if Senator Clinton had been selected by the DNC and the historic opportunity for Obama’s name to be put in nomination was stonewalled by party insiders in the name “appearing unified”.
Frankly, if Senator Obama can’t face the same challenges that all other non-incumbent Democratic nominees have had to face, how on earth will the Democratic Party be able to beat John McCain?”
I posted it at 4:14 PM. At 4:45, it was there, but still awaiting moderation.
Well. it’s not there anymore. Jack Cafferty is a coward who is afraid to let viewers see the unvarnished, “unmoderated” truth. Jack doesn’t trust American voters to think for themslves, so he censors those who disagree with his point of view.He would have been more at home at Pravda than he is on American television.
Shame on him.
just like bambi.
That’s the Communists News Network for you…censor any opposing views…sad state of our news media in America…
UNITED STATES OF COMMUNISM?
I think you mean fascism. Oblahblah is owned by large multinational corporations.
That’s why Fox is Number one And CNN is way down on the list…I hate Cafferty,I mute him every time he’s on… He must have been dropped on his head,when he was a child..imo
You said it sistah! Thanks. There would be riots in the streets if the roles were switched. This is the saddest time in memory for the “Democratic” party.
Obviously only comedians should run for office now.
If you can’t display a ’sense of humor’ about something as serious as the next POTUS, considering the mess we’re in, there’s something wrong with you.
Of course Obama’s lack of sense of humor about any criticism (only bitter white folks and racists criticize him) is a sign of his strength.
Joking about calling people racists is okay. Joking about a Presidential candidate being a b*tch, c*nt, and wh*re is fine. I wonder where Cafferty’s outrage and ’sense of humor’ went about that?
Keep digging.
And yet they are whining and pouting about how NEGATIVE! McCain’s hilarious ads are. More hypocrisy to suit their own needs.
He is a mean spirited man, and it always shows.
Quick work, Good Work thank you who just did the Copperfield.
Oh, and one other interesting bit of “moderation” that’s going on at realclearpolitics.com
I was wondering why Obama’ poll number climbed from a miserable 2.8 points ahead to 4.8 points ahead in just a few days. Is Obama gaining support?
No. A few days ago realclearpolitics (a CNN website) stopped averaging in the USA Today/Gallup poll and the Fox News Poll when they do their calculations.
It’s kind of like when a teacher only uses the “good” grades so that her little favorite doesn’t fail. Pretty unethical.
That’s because those polls were TWO WEEKS OLD. They drop old polls and add new ones. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be accurate at all.
When are you going to drop the old talking points for the new ones? You’re not earning that nickel, yet.

Read this article.
Now who dug this up? Yet another possibility:
The first paragraph could clear up how Ann could show up on Mercer Island when BO “was about 3 weeks old” according to Ann’s friend, yet Ann could not have the hang of the diaper thing yet.
And the second has an excellent point, even 10 years later it would have been necessary to get a vaccination for yellow fever, and typhus and others also advised.
There’s only explanation. He’s a clone and the different clones were born in different countries. Please publicize!
Don’t you have some Dallas to be doing?
“debbie” would know about clones, being one itself. They cloned slime mold and got “debbie”.
That must be why I have three Obamas living on my block. I thought it was kind of strange. Thanks for your insight!
“There were some who said we should be silent about our differences on issues during this convention,” Senator Kennedy told the party in 1980, “but the heritage of the Democratic Party has been a history of democracy. We fight hard because we care deeply about our principles and purposes. We did not flee this struggle. We welcome the contrast with the empty and expedient spectacle last month in Detroit where no nomination was contested, no question was debated, and no one dared to raise any doubt or dissent.”
Great post Susan.
Cafferty’s a joke as a journalist.
Why isn’t he friggin’ funny –
instead of just being a talentless bum.
Laughable would be the idea that Cafferty might think his fawning over Oblowme might help him with a younger audience.
He has a great face for radio.
And a great voice for silent films.
Just how bad do you have to be to get your own side saying you’re out of freaking mind? Answer: As bad as
Barack ObamaBarry Soetoro.he should know humorless, but it seems the perp is always the last to know.
The Communist Party USA says that Barack Obama may not be the perfect Stalinist they’ve been hoping for, but he is a stepping stone to the new socialist utopia: CPUSA Online – Editorial: Eye on the Prize.
Oblahblah is more like a goose-stepping Mussolini or Generalissimo Francisco Franco than Stalin.
That is to say, fascista.
LGF said that, not CPUSA. It was the lede for their article.

scarey, I wonder what hotel it is
Of all the people to call others “humorless”. ROFL Cafferty. Closest thing to a smile he cracks looks like he has a gas pocket.
I wonder if he’s married. And if so, I wonder why his wife hasn’t killed him in his sleep yet.
In the entire history of this party there has NEVER been a question that a roll call vote would occur. It was a given. Always done. Automatic……until this year. The year of the Chicago Thug.
There is also a “Barrack Hussein Mohamed Obama” born on 23 August 1961 in Canada
IT’S BEEN MY FIRM SILENT BELIEF FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW, THAT BARRY WAS BORN IN VANCOUVER CANADA. I have every reason to believe this for a pregnant woman who lived in Seattle area in the early 60’s. She went to a unwed mothers home and had Barry, to be put up for adoption, but later changed her mind and didn’t sign the papers. She ended up taking Barry over to Seattle on the ferry and went to visit her old high school friend. This I firmly believe. Vancouver and Seattle are a couple hours apart.
I stop watching cnn and I won’t contribute to their ratings. They’ve become the cult news network and Obama’s propaganda tool. Caferty’s obsession with Hilary is alarming. His hate is obvious and loves his little lets trash Hillary moments. The best thing to do is never watch cnn.
And MSNBC is just as bad. I only watch Joe Scarborough, although I have to watch that insufferable Mika along with him.
Cafferty does not see women as an American consituency, he only see’s us as women. His disdain for American women is almost palpable. And, he is on the primetime airways. How low we have sunken with our media. Might as well be wearing Burkas with the press we have today.
The answer:
Amend the Constitution to make men less than women for ten years, give Sen. Clinton an all female cabinet, divorce Bill if he gets into more trouble, tell the truth about everything. Ship Edwards to Pockistan!
They are starting to cry pretty loud must mean HRC still has a chance. If no then PUMATIZE AMERICA BY VOTING FOR A MCCAIN NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep, yep, they’re giving themselves away. One Pittsburg committee attendee says that Howard looks really awful these days. [snark] Karma sucks!
Yes, and this coming from a 55+ dry drunk w/ a face for radio.
It’s kinda “funny” to me that 40 and over is the new “old.”
You know, we never see what Jack Cafferty is sitting on that gives him such a twisted expression. Here are some of my guesses:
1. Obama’s rolled-up birth certificate.
2. Hillary’s acceptance speech.
3. Keith Olbermann’s face.
And yours?
He’s been acidentally switching the Preparation H tubes, mistaking the one he uses for the bags under his eyes and his turkey neck for the one he uses to ameliorate his ‘roids.
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, The New York Times (anti-American rag), and the LA Times are are sizable part of the MSM and they are hellbent on forcing the unqualified Obama on us.
add Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair as well as Newsweek to that list.
This guy is so unpleasant to watch and hear,a self-aggrandized dreary dolt made for dunce tv, CNN.
Are there people who really pay attention to him?
Yes, but most of them live in Horizontal High-Rises (trailer parks; “tin Taj Mahals”) and he has to contend with the unfortunate overlapping of his screen time with The Early Bird Special at the local buffet joint and “Matlock” reruns.
Jack Cafferty has a monopoly on Humorless.
To paraphrase George Castanza The Humorless Store called, when Jack left, he cleaned them out of product.
Like Steve Martin said, “Everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, even people who don’t.”
Maybe Jack needs some educating on the convention and the role of the superdelegates. These are worth the watch:

Jack Cafferty’s as funny as crabs on a crotch.
Excellent videos, csuzeq!!!
Connent the dots, part 1,2,3
Hillary must be put on the roll call vote for nomination!!!
I cannot stand that man. I keep trying to write the words to explain, but I have to keep erasing because I don’t have the words to express it. He’s disgusting and makes me want to puke.
I was flipping through the channels and I heard him bitching about the Clintons not sucking up to Obama. He called Bill Clinton a jerk. Jack Cafferty called Bill Clinton…an ex-president with some of the highest approval ratings in history…a jerk. And he said it with contempt too.
GRRRR. Waste of space, time, and money on tv.
Jack Cafferty is a biased hack … instead of being an objective journalist, he’s consistently chosen to be in the tank for Obama. When McCain wins in November, Cafferty and the rest of the media cronies who have tried to cram Obama down our throats, will all be irrelevant.
Cafferty, It’s obvious that you’ve become the far left’s attack dog, as well as the biggest ass hole in America. I guess CNN keeps you aboard (while making sure to disclaim your biased opinions as yours and not theirs) because you’re controversial. And controversy sells newspapers. I just hope your gross misuse of your position results in your pitiful and complete demise.
Jack (and soda) Cafferty is what Joe Pesci might call: “a jaggovvv”. He was an admittedly abusive alcoholic who also ran over a bicyclist in New Yoirk then fled the scene, running two red lights in the process before the cops stopped him. NOTE TO JACK CAFFERTY(got your pen, reporter man?): A furrowed brow doesn’t NECESSARILY make you a hard core newsman. Cronkite had one, so did Brinkly et al…But you don’t amount to even a pimple on their asses. You are smug and arrogant without THE LEAST bit of reason to be. Shut up.
Jack…
I’ve learned so much from this blog. Hopefully others can find value in my site as well….
gaping holes…
Maybe, but I’m not sure it’for everyone….
