Atlanta-based CNN has hired Red State founder and Peach Pundit editor Erick Erickson to provide commentary for the network's programs, with a weeknight gig on the soon-to-air "John King, USA" show.

So sayeth the press release that trumpeteth the arrival of Erickson:

“I grew up in Dubai and then in rural Louisiana as an obsessive news junkie. CNN was the only place to go for nonstop news,” said Erickson.  “Joining CNN is like coming home and being in Atlanta makes the decision right for me and my family.”

“Erick’s a perfect fit for John King, USA, because not only is he an agenda-setter whose words are closely watched in Washington but as a person who still lives in small-town America, Erick is in touch with the very people John hopes to reach,” said Feist. “With Erick’s exceptional knowledge of politics as well as his role as a conservative opinion leader, he will add an important voice to CNN’s ideologically diverse group of political contributors.”

"John King, USA" — which is a beautiful place, we hear — premieres March 22.

Doesn't Glenn Beck already satisfy the pasty, white, whiny, conservative douchebag requirment for cable news? Is this guy a closeted, self-loathing homosexual? Or was I thinking of every other prominent, outspoken conservative? I get confused...

Rule.303 right wing ideologues like you crack me up. You spew the most vicious hatred at those you do not agree with then you cry like a baby when your type gets slapped back. Grow a set then enter the discussion when you are a real man.
