    The answer they would give would be obvious. Hence, why ask.

    I loved the animated Dick Cheney wit shotgun question. That was hilarious.

    I also think that the CNN mishap was horrible. Conservative pundits knew within seconds that it was a plant. The question was fair, but completely out of place. It just seemed odd from the very start. Wrong venue, wrong time, everything.

    To Anderson Cooper's credit, he had his people verify it (if it really needed it) and addressed it on air. He probably could have ignored it, but acknowledged that it was innapropriate instead.

    Do you really care that a question, that was and should be asked, was "planned" or "planted" or whatever? Or is it just because the guy just happened to of been part of Hillary's LGBT Steering commitee? Would it more bias as he is a member of the Log Cabin Republicans as well?

    Shouldn't there be more questioning on why Dems haven't gotten or answered it?
    Kerr was chosen not because he is a figure of stature but because he is a gay General. I agre I though the questions were on the poor side and that CNN did not give equal time to all candidates.

    I doubt that he was a Hillary "plant".

    I don't think he was a plant either... but I think CNN or whoever the people who choose him should come out and say why... I don't really care why, even if it was in fact a planted question and person. It was a very LEGITIMATE question, with crappy answers. There were far better videos addressing the issue though.

    I agree with Kerr and the thousands of others that have been denied or discharged for being gay. I support their stance. Gay people are just as American as straight people. If they want to serve our country, let them! In this rare instance, I relate the "struggle" gays have in the military as that of blacks.

    Plus, he was both- he's a person of stature with the military who is gay.

    First, that was a self-serving promo by Don Harrold. Second, anyone who watches Cramer for anything other than entertainment deserves to lose all of their money.

    Cramer is seldom right. He did graduate from the prestigious Harvard School of Business as "magnum cum lately" and that should give him instant credibility ... but, alas, he is usually wrong.

    He does serve a purpose however. Often when he promotes a stock his legion of mind-numbed followers dash out and buy it....so a savvy day trader can get in and ride the crest for a quick buck .

    Thanks Jimbo!
