That is some angry old man.

I'm pretty sure that even though I'm 29 years old, according to Cafferty I should still be wearing short pants, a crew cut and reply "yes sir!" to anyone older than me.

@Adrurc: Well, I, for one, like when the 20-something guys wear short pant. Is that the UPS guy walking by?

But I want to see the hat in question! PS: I actually like Jack Cafferty. And I can't stand Andy Rooney. Because Andy Rooney has always tried really hard to be funny, and fails. Jack just tries to perfect his crochety.

Is anybody old enough to remember when he was a local NYC news anchor, cohosting with Kaity Tong?

Jack Cafferty was on Jon Stewart a couple of nights ago, and he was all ass-kissy and unfunny and squirmy. It's like he was scared he was going to get the Jim Cramer treatment. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING, CAFFERTY?

I think Jack is projecting his anxiety of his hair issues on to this woman's headgear. I haven't seen him in awhile and most of hair is gone except for a small patch in the front. He's probably secretly grappling with the horrible alternatives of either a) the Biden dollhead transplant or b) the Ricardo Montalban semi-realistic wig. Walk a mile in Jack's shoes before you criticize him. Why doesn't Gawker have the male equivalent of Jezebel, where we can ponder and grapple with these kind of issues. I am enraged at the lack of attention male pattern baldness gets in the media.

It's funny how these guys get to be supposedly respected commentators that people actually seem to pay attention to. I remember when Jack Cafferty was a long-suffering anchorman at WNYW. He never seemed destined for greatness to me; he was just another wrinkly old guy reading the local news, like they have in every other city across America. I still don't see why I should pay any attention to him.

Ditto for Bill O'Reilly, who I still think of as the anchor for Inside Edition. I can't believe there are actually people that take him seriously. To me, he's the guy that reports on semi-salacious celebrity scandals and reads stuff out loud about U2's new album even though he's never heard of them.

And while I may be on his side politically, I still think of Keith Olbermann as a wisecracking Sportscenter anchor. When did he suddenly learn politics?? And why would anyone think he knows anymore about it than I do?

I'm not saying people can't grow and change and find their niche eventually. But there are people who you can see greatness in from an early age, and who you're just waiting for to break out. And then there are people who are just like everybody else, mediocre working class guys without a hell of a lot of knowledge about much of anything and certainly not much real wisdom, and those guys sometimes get promoted too by other guys who are as mediocre as they are. But why do we make the mistake of listening to them? Just because they're on national TV?

@badasscat: The world's best liars and con men have always been so by lying to themselves. That's why they're so convincing.

Is cafferty familiar with protests? Stupid hats and cardboard signs? Trying to be noticed?

I'm willing to bet there's a picture of college-aged Jack Cafferty out there wearing a stupid hat, holding a sign that says "segregation forever", standing next to the hot young blond that he's desperately trying to bed.

I saw this live on the tube at the gym earlier and thought, this is the kind of thing that appears on Gawker. Hey, wait a minute! You kids get off my stationary bike!
