Do as he says, not as he does: In his latest burst of left-wing hypocrisy, egomaniacal media billionaire Ted Turner says America must be "humble."
"If you're rich and powerful, you better be nice and humble. ... You can get a lot more cooperation out of people if they like you," Turner, who is rich and powerful but the opposite of nice and humble, said in a rambling and occasionally foul-mouthed speech Wednesday in Washington, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported today.
The CNN founder and AOL Time Warner vice chairman displayed his usual blame-America-first bent. "As soon as the Cold War ended, we once again, to a large degree, withdrew from international affairs," Turner said. "And as the world's sole superpower, we left a tremendous vacuum in the world. ...
"Americans are woefully uninformed at the current time about international news in general, and I've always said we were doing that at our peril," he said at the Woodrow Wilson Center.
The rabidly pro-Moscow Turner sees a bright side to the terrorist attacks: a chance for the U.S. to kiss up to Russia and bring it into NATO.
"If you've ever been not allowed to join a club, and you want to join, you know how much it hurts to be insulted like that - because you're Jewish or black or just talk a little too much or are Southern or whatever," he said. "I've had it happen to me on numerous occasions, and it makes you mad as hell.
"It hurts people's feelings when they're excluded, and there's no reason to exclude [Russia]. They want to join the West. In fact, they are a part of Europe, for God's sake. Let's let 'em in."
