I realize that many of Caitlin's readers aren't on the right like me, but I am on the right, and all I want is peace, and I want the U.S. to stop provoking wars all over the planet. And as a result, this masterful takedown of Kinzinger was highly entertaining. Thank you.

So deeply satisfying to read this. You nailed it, Ms. Johnstone. That dude is vaccuous, warmongering trash--did not realize CNN, despite its eager embrace of military and intel agency has beens, could sink quite this low. Love that Greenwald did that poll back in October!

"War Slut". Perfect description of this low-life scum.

''WAR IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THE US EMPIRE TOGETHER!'' . . .

Seldom is truer words uttered - something that can be attested to by MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of this planet's inhabitants [and then the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dead speaks for themselves!] . . . .

Kinzinger is bringing out the best in you, Caitlin. I'm trying to avoid the word zingers but it's hard.

And I'm loving Glenn's snarky new System Update show. The gloves are coming off!

WOW! That was crazy fast! I cannot stand this little _______!

I do not know how people like this call themselves men and are able to look in a mirror everyday.

It’s all such a clown world!

In a real democracy, people would be barred from entering politics, public office and the media after the exit they military. It pollutes the public discourse and results in abnormal concentration of power.

The biggest warmonger of all is the ex solder and military industry lobbyist who is currently “serving” the public as Secretary of Defense, where his entire agenda is war war more war and more lucrative contracts for war profiteers . I mean that’s a direct tap into the country’s wallet!

If that is not a clear message from CNN, then I don't know what is.

While completely disgusted by this, at least we can all take some comfort in the fact that CNN is watched by fewer and fewer people every day. Their viewer numbers are atrocious. One can only think that karma is at play here.

Give this slime a helmet, rucksack, and a 16, then put him in the front lines. See how he likes it.

I really knew very little about this man, but when he joined Goldie Locks on the January 6 comm, I looked him up. From what I read he was in the air force and served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and no doubt elsewhere and he seems to relate to the world with the old expression if the only tool you have is a hammer, you treat everything as if it were a nail. I heard him speak of how his heart bleeds for the children and people of Syria, and no doubt he doesn't acknowledge our role in that dirty war, and wants to solve their problem by taking out Assad. A no fly zone in Ukraine? He resides in a black and white world, so there never is any middle ground for him. Better he goes to CNN then he serves in the Congress. Eventually they'll get rid of him too.

That's a bit harsh-let's list the positives:

1) He'll embarass whatever effort he represents

2) He can cry easily

3) He is incapable or unwilling to ask simple questions [related to #1 above]

4) He may be able to cry on command

5) He has a losing personality that even the GOP doesn't want

6) He might be able to wet himself...on command

7) His smile reminds me of psychopathic killers and pedophiles, allowing me to feel good about myself

8) His ability with organic fudge could launch a new niche on OnlyFans

9) His presence at CNN shows how little has changed with new management

10) His emotion-laden appeals will be heralded by 3rd wave feminists [SEE: misandrists]

11) He can model unwelcome behavior easily

12) He AND LizCheney could relaunch Crossfire as soon as either can find actual principles

13) He makes my balls tired, which reminds me to be an adult

I hope former RepresentativeCrySlinger receives all the same benefits that CNN offers America and the world.

Horns, fangs and split tails are now assets for media pundits. Supposed to be exciting,but this guy is predictable and boring. And that smile - only a motherpf***er could love.

I assumed he would go to some defense contractor, but I wasn't thinking. That would have been a waste of his Twitter skills.
