One has to wonder what must have been going through the minds of the CBS brass as Craig Ferguson gave his 9/11 monologue. What was going on in the production booth? Were they fighting over the decision to cut the audio?
Honestly, I'm surprised the guy still works in the town. Readers of the Democratic Underground and DailyKos must have missed this one. Otherwise they would have been crawling over themselves the next day demanding he be deported.
Via the Media Research Center:
Instead of opening with his usual monologue of jokes, Craig Ferguson, an immigrant from Scotland, began Monday night's Late Late Show on CBS with a tribute to America, a refreshing attitude not often heard these days in the mainstream media. "I consider myself an American," he declared on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, adding: "I've been here for a long time. I love this country."
Ferguson contended: "Anyone who cares about anything, when these rat bastards flew those planes into those buildings, if you're a human, it would insult everything inside you." Ferguson suggested "this is a defining moment for our generation. For one generation, it was the assassination of Kennedy, for another it's 9/11. It's 'Where were you on September the 11th?'"
