Ted Turner on the bailout, from an interview in Time:
When I was running CNN we never had any money and I never asked for a bailout. Where does it end? AIG, you know, they need $40 billion more, and we only gave them a hundred billion last week, didn't we. It's just ridiculous. And now General Motors. They said we're going to give them $25 billiong to retool. Retool what? They'll run through that money so fast they'll be back wanting more. We can't keep every loser alive.
And then listen to this:
[Do you still think Christianity is a "religion for losers?"]
No. That was probably my most unfortunate comment. I apologized for it. I apologized for a lot of things that I've said....I didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings with that, but it did hurt people's feelings and I'm sorry.
Sounds like a new, humbler Ted Turner.
