After Fox News recounted the incident Tuesday night on “Special Report With Brit Hume,´´ Catholic League president William Donohue issued a diatribe about Turner: “He may be just as dumb as John Rocker, but unlike the Atlanta pitcher, he occupies a position of significant influence in our culture.´´
Reuters reported Donohue as adding: “That is why we look to his superiors at (CNN parent) AOL Time Warner to denounce Turner for his relentless attacks on Christians. Indeed, they might want to take a page from professional baseball and ship Turner off for some sensitivity training.´´
