How desperate is CNN?
Spitzer, Parker to host primetime CNN show
Posted: June 23rd, 2010
Washington (CNN) - Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and 2010 Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Kathleen Parker will co-host a new hour long CNN primetime news program starting in the fall as the nation prepares for the 2010 midterm election, the network announced Wednesday morning.
The yet-to-be-named “roundtable discussion” program will air at 8 p.m. ET replacing Campbell Brown.
“Other cable news channels force-feed viewers one narrow, predictable point of view; in contrast, CNN will be offering a lively roundup of all the best ideas – presented by two of the most intelligent and outspoken figures in the country,” Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., said in a statement released by the network. “Eliot and Kathleen are beholden to no vested interest – in fact, quite the opposite: they are renowned for taking on the most powerful targets and most important causes.”
Klein made the announcement in Wednesday’s network wide editorial conference call with CNN staff.
Parker, whose columns appear in over 400 newspapers twice a week, in April received the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. She describes herself as a “rational” conservative.
“As a veteran print journalist, I am appropriately respectful of the challenges posed by the medium,” said Parker. “But I'm thrilled by the opportunity to discuss the issues that matter to me —and that aren't heard often enough on television—in a conversation with one of the nation's most brilliant, fearless and original thinkers. With Eliot Spitzer as my co-host, Wall Street and Main Street will finally meet. It can't possibly be boring.”
Spitzer, a Democrat who resigned as governor in March 2008 after acknowledging visiting a prostitute, is a well respected political mind and a take-no-prisoners prosecutor who has been often referred to as the “Sheriff of Wall Street.”
“Kathleen is an extraordinary intellect whose sharp observations and wit are certain to resonate with viewers,” said Spitzer. “I look forward to working alongside her in a discussion that will inform, challenge, and entertain. I am grateful to CNN for the opportunity to co-host a show that will advance the discussion of the defining issues of our time.”

Spitzer knows his shit about economics. more than most people. Sure, he likes to bang hookers half his age. But at this point, I could care less if a leader screws sheep... just fix the economy already.

How does he know his stuff about economics?
And how will this show fix the economy?

It might educate the viewers, who will then vote in elections.
Much the way many conservatives love Dylan Ratigan on msnbc.

Many people don't love anything on MSNBC. Nobody watches that channel.
We know he has the hypocrite, louse, law breaking thing down, but what's the basis for your statement that he knows his stuff on economics?

Well, as a Clinton and mccain voter, surely you wouldn't let marriage infidelity get in your way of a vote for a candidate, right?
And if you don't know why he's honesty and brilliant on the economy, you should read up on him.

If you meant to say he was "honest" then all I can is: LOL. :)
No, I had no idea he is "brilliant on the economy." Still don't. Don't feel like reading up on that disgraced louse. I'll just go with my first assumption that you embellished the guy's qualifications.
But CNN is still pretty desperate to put this guy in a prime time show.

was fox desperate for adding a quitter? He's a political leader (former anyway) who was an effective leader, i really think he shouldn't have resigned if he bangs call girls so be it. He isn't any different to millions of other Americans. And hey atleast he knows his sh*t.
-
I'll be very surprised if he helps CNN's ratings.
Next thing thing you know they'll add Blago.

IDK if he was "brilliant" on the economy, but he sure made a name for himself going after wall street.

He was a reckless prosecutor who often went on insane witch hunts. Look up how he went after Hank Greenberg from AIG. Many say that AIG went down after Spitzer forced Greenberg from AIG since Greenberg was really the responsible leader of that firm. .

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the scum. I was just addressing the "brilliant on economics" issue. As for CNN, I don't care who they have as an analyst/commentator whatever. I rarely watch CNN so as far as I'm concerned their customers can decide via ratings.
I only watch Fox - because it's fair and balanced. :D

Yep.

And he wouldn't need to know much about the economy to go after them.
What amazes me is how guys like him, Blago, etc. just can't simply slink away after disgracing themselves and embarrassing their families.

He liked to put his private parts in the booty of a prostitute.
He's pretty hardcore!

No he is not. He embarassed his kids and family and left this state in a mess. NYS is a disaster area with what is going on in Albany with all dems controlling everything and a blind tainted Lt. Gov at the helm.

Another victim for Oreilly.Spitzer is so hard to look at his ratings will be worse then the last jerks.

Correct. And he was a hypocrite, because he tried to crack down on prostitution while he was AG.

I don't know you man. I think you are a simpleton and a pathological liar. But that's neither hear nor there. :) What literal interpretation of the Bible are you talking about Pinocchio? And what does that have to do with Spitzer?
