CNN OPERATOR FIRED AFTER SUGGESTING 'X' OVER CHENEY WAS 'FREE SPEECH'

A CNN switchboard operator was fired over the holiday -- after the operator claimed the 'X' placed over Vice President's Dick Cheney's face was "free speech!"

"We did it just to make a point. Tell them to stop lying, Bush and Cheney," the CNN operator said to a caller. "Bring our soldiers home."

The caller initially phoned the network to complain about the all-news channel flashing an "X' over Cheney as he gave an address live from Washington.

"Was it not freedom of speech? Yes or No?" the CNN operator explained.

"If you don't like it, don't watch."

New Who is entitled to what, or is it the other way around?
Talk about fucked-up grammar: "We are reaching out to the caller and expressing our deep regret to her and apologizing that she did not get the courtesy entitled to her." -- the courtesy entitled to her???

I didn't know "courtesy" -- being an abstract noun and everything -- could be entitled to anything at all, much less an entire actual human being.

Those fuckwits must have been reporting too much from that "War" you're having on another abstract noun.

OK, this is why evolution is bunk. You're not smart enough to have evolved from anything.
