Do They Get It?

Probably not, but Jonathan “Pajamas” Klein is canning Aaron Brown at CNN, according to Drudge (no permalink, which is one of the reasons that Drudge has not been, and is not now, a blogger):

We have made some programming decisions which will impact our prime time schedule as well as our colleague Aaron Brown. Aaron will be leaving CNN and is very much looking forward to some well-deserved time off with his family.

Aaron has made enormous contributions to CNN since his groundbreaking anchoring of Sept. 11th through the war in Iraq to the Tsunami to the recent hurricanes. Outside of the big stories, on a nightly basis, Aaron has provided our audiences with insight into the events of the United States and the world with eloquence and the highest journalist integrity.

Besides his stellar work as an anchor, Aaron stands as an absolutely brilliant writer, evident by the thoughtful perspective he injects into every story he touches.

Personally, I will miss Aaron and his wicked sense of humor. We cannot thank Aaron enough for the skills and professionalism he brought to CNN. Given his respect throughout the industry, there is no question that he will be missed.

Translation: he was tanking us in his timeslot. Don’t let the door hit your kiester on the way out.

But despite this, I suspect that Mr. Pajamas still doesn’t understand why his (and his previous employer, CBS’ ratings were in the toilet, and it amazes me that CNN thought that they could pull up their ratings by hiring either Klein or Brown) network continues to lose market share. When I hear that they’ve made an offer to Brit Hume (for twice or more of the money that he makes at Fox), then I’ll know that they’ve figured it out. For now, I can only conclude that they know that Brown is a problem, but not why.

OK, I know it doesn’t scan, but the punchline is that he couldn’t.

Sit up, that is.

He was glued to the seat.

I hate when that happens (though I think that I would have noticed something amiss long before I got stuck, but perhaps his derri

These morons, that is.

As a result of their failed ideology, we have the guns. If I believed in God, I’d thank him for the Second Amendment. I’ll thank the Founders instead. Let’s just hope that the Supreme Court doesn’t completely eviscerate it, as they have much of the rest of the Constitution. Certainly Republicans haven’t helped much, so far.

Yes, I know this is a weird post to be the first one in a couple days. What can I say? I’m busy, and, to quote Jayne in Serenity (a movie that I just saw a couple nights ago for the first time), the site damaged my calm.
