Jolly joksters at Clinton News Network have a little fun with the bombing:

CNN SHOWS LIVINGSTON WITH BOMB EXPLOSIONS

During live coverage of comments being made by incoming House Speaker Bob Livingston, all-news network CNN interrupted with
images of fresh bombs dropping in Baghdad.

Livingston was announcing a delay in the impeachment vote. CNN, still airing Livingston's voice, visually showed bombs exploding.

Viewers were left with the subliminal message that impeachment had been blown up!

"It was unfortunate, but it was during breaking news," a CNN producer in Atlanta tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

FOOTNOTE: CNN staffers joke that reporter Bob Franken knew! "The White House is putting a tremendous amount of hope that the president will do something so dramatic that it would, in fact, change the dynamic," Franken reported live on CNN -- 24 hours before the bombs! Franken was reporting on the impeachment drama unfolding on The Hill. "But Again, sources tell us that a key, maybe as far as the Democrats are concerned: what the president would do when he gets back. They're hoping he will agree to a gesture so dramatic that it would just change the dynamic up here." But staffers are being unfair to Franken. What about hotshot John King? King reported a day before the bombs: "CNN has learned the president is being told he must take dramatic steps if he hopes to sway the dwindling number of undecided Republicans to vote no on impeachment."
