One of my favorite moments of the hours and hours and hours of Anna Nicole Smith coverage on the cable networks was when CNN's Lou Dobbs told Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer what was coming up on his show at the top of the hour. After he told viewers what was coming up (Iraq news, Wall Street news), he promised that for the entire hour there would not be a single mention of the death of Anna Nicole Smith.
Now it's Jack Cafferty's turn. And he did it on Wolf's show too. Video after the jump!

HA!! That was great. Gotta love Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty!! Even if you don't like them at least they have the balls to go off script.
Poor Wolf. I used to really like him, but ever since the Situation Room started he just seems to be another talking head reading a teleprompter.
I know real TV journalists aren't supposed to have (or at least let show) their own opinions, but Wolf seems to have completely lost his personality.

next to keith olbermann, jack caferty is the most hateful person on tv. so much venom for someone who lost his job as a local tv news anchor. now, he's just a bitter hatchet guy who spews misguided hatred on people he disagrees with. I thought liberals tout themselves as "open-minded and inclusive". What a crock.

I enjoyed both Cafferty's and Dobbs' comments on the "breathless coverage" when Ms Smith died. They echoed my own opinion of how much MSM coverage that that story should have gotten. Heck, since Ms. Smith was finally buried yesterday I'd sure HOPE that she's still dead... Otherwise we've got a George Romero flick on the cable news networks. I don't give a rosey red rat's patootie WHAT happens with any celebrity or quasi celebrity. I don't know these people and their lives don't affect mine. OTOH I WOULD like a bit more coverage of the Libby trial, the scandel at Walter Reed, Iraq, the economy, Bushco in general and other things that actually DO affect my life. Apparently CNN and other cable news networks don't seem to understand that we don't watch them for hours on end of "celebrity news". I sure don't and I've been known to reach for the remote when it gets to be too much. I have a low threshold as to what is "too much" for this sort of thing.

I am worried for the People of Enterprize. I remember the message of Hope to the people on 9-11. Then the message of hope to the people of Iraq. The message of Hope to the victims of Katrina, and Rita. Now the people of Enterprize are the TARGET of HOPE, and FEMA. At least he did ask us for donations.
