You were just ticked off a bit?  Thanks for watching that ass so I don't have to.  Is this what passes for serious debate on CNN now?  Shame on CNN for having such an ass hog up our airwaves.
I was actually flipping channels on the CNNs and saw Simmons sitting there (I've read twilight, so I wanted to see what he had to say) And after the brief dialog Beck cuts him off and says screw the world I'm buying a big car... So to me, yes Simmons did get his word out about the book; However, I personally felt Beck was pi**ing on him a bit with those final remarks... and that "final stab" is what ticked me off, fearing many in the public would shrug off concerns (if any) they had about the issue.
CNN has been turning more into Fox every day.  Good for ratings.  This tide is turning, though, the right-wingers are going to get very unhappy as all their idiotic beliefs collapse with everything else.  Before the collapse, we're going GREEEEEEEEEN.  
And don't forget Nancy Grace...kak.   I used to like CNN,  I can't stand it anymore.
If there is a hell, it'll be condos.  And Nancy Grace will be my next-door neighbor!
