I'm losing a lot of respect for CNN right now... [View all]

As a human being, I absolutely feel bad for Kirk's family, particularly his children - regardless of whether he lives or dies. However, Kirk is little more than a Nazi in a polo shirt and khakis. It's one thing to report "just the facts ma'am" regarding his shooting. It's quite another for CNN to repeatedly drone on and on about the need for "thoughts and prayers" regarding him. To use Fox's term, a "fair and balanced" reporting of the story would give equal time to the rhetoric Kirk has made a charlatan's career of using that is, without a doubt, causally connected to what transpired today.
