Fredo went against the Family. No not the Cuomo Crime Family. He went against the #MeToo family. So, they took him out on the lake and now he sleeps with the fish. Don Lemon will now be the sole contestant for the title “Stupidest Human on Television.” Without Fredo CNN will lose a whole demographic of viewers. The short attention span viewer will permanently tune CNN out. They’ll drift away to reality tv or possibly watch shiny spinning objects. They’ve lost their man.
Seriously, as much as I despise the people who fired him, I’m delighted to hear that the last of the Cuomos are now unemployed. From Mario to Fredo they have infested New York politics and embarrassed Italian Americans for over fifty years. To never have to see Fredo’s “deer in the headlights” expression again on the television is a blessing.
Of course, I haven’t considered whether Fredo might find something outside of news. Maybe something in the entertainment industry. I know it’s probably beyond him but maybe he could become a rodeo clown. It’s honest work and his face would be an asset. He wouldn’t need makeup and I’m sure the bulls and bucking broncs will be fascinated by his dim-witted stare. Or possibly he could become a carny. Not one of the barkers. That’s too skilled. Maybe he could throw sawdust on the beer barf. That’s not so hard. That’s it! His next gig will be beer barf sawdust guy. And if he studies hard and applies himself, one day, he could become the cotton candy guy. Only in America.
Really my only worry is the possibility of a next generation. Could Andrew and Chris have progeny that might one day show up in the public space? I tend to think this is unlikely. Based on the drop off in intelligence between Mario and his sons I assume the next generation will fall right out of the human spectrum and end up with IQ’s in the single digits. That would put them in a class with planaria and other flatworms. Even CNN couldn’t employ them.
So, I guess this is it. Farewell Fredo. We hardly knew ye. Or we hardly wanted to know ye. Or something.
Good riddance.
Maybe he can make a living as Jerry Lewis redux.
I think that he wouldn’t work as Mussolini at all unless we skip froward to the end, at which point it would be entertaining.
From the mercifully small sample of his work I’ve seen I must say I am impressed at how truly stupid he appears to be. If they resurrected the Three Stooges franchise he might be able to portray Larry.
Just found this on American Thinker: You Heard it Here First: The Old CNN Is Dead – American Thinker
The Old CNN is Dead
I read about the CNN sale a few weeks ago in an article about John Malone, the Chairman of the Board of the acquiring entity, stating that it would be “nice” if CNN could revert to actual journalism.
Very amusing. I wonder if they’ll find a way to unload the Lemon too. I understand he has a sexual harassment suit against him also. Losing those salaries couldn’t help but increase the bottom line. Now all they have to do is hire actual reporters.
“Now all they have to do is hire actual reporters.”
WAY more than that, it has already started with Jeff Zucker. He’s leaving as of the end of the year, 3 weeks now. I don’t know how many layers there are between president and reporter level but directors and editors, at least, need to go too.
If they’re really serious about going back to actual journalism that’s going to be a threat to Fox News. Fox has been the only alternative to leftist propaganda. If there are now two places to go Fox is going to have to up their game and get better people than those idiots Chris Wallace and Juan Williams.
Chris Wallace is especially nasty as he purports to be “fair and balanced” whereas reality is that he consistently presents hard left. Juan Williams, with whom I disagree on virtually EVERY viewpoint, does not misrepresent himself. His open function on Fox is to be the token progressive and present the ideology to illustrate the contrast.
He’s horribly wrong but he’s honest. Wallace is not.
Tom I commend you on your even handedness. I’ve become so angry at everyone on the Left that it has driven me to extreme abuse and derision whenever I talk about them. The milk of human kindness has curdled within me.
