Nancy Pelosi takes down Wolf Blitzer. . .

I have NEVER had any use for Blitzer--not for one sec. I always thought he was a blow-hard with nothing to say other than trivial, soft ball questions he likes to pitch to repigs under the pretense of being "tough." He is completely full of shit, and I cannot understand WHY he's paid the amount of money I'm sure he makes doing the bullshit he does. He's not even good at bullshitting, and he's a total failure at hiding his repiggy tendencies.

If the answer was something totally off the wall Wolf would look down....and read the next question

He has actually been editorializing a bit over the last month or so.

unfortunately people around me get angry at me because he was born and raised in our city so somehow I'm supposed to give him a pass.

this was an article written by Catherine Yurica, but the links don't work any more. It's been a while...


It’s scary to hear someone carry-on like Pat. But it’s sort of strange to realize that Pat and Wolf Blitzer go way back together. Yep! Wolf used to work for Pat Robertson's CBN way back when Pat was setting up his news bureau and Wolf was the 700 Club’s reporter from the Middle East. He was a lot younger in those days, but in those beginning days Pat exposed Wolf Blitzer to a viewing audience that topped the Nielsen ratings at 28.7 million monthly viewers! That’s a great way to launch one’s career. But Wolf Blitzer likes to keep that part of his career kind of quiet. He doesn’t list the 700 Club’s news bureau in his biography. He doesn’t tell CNN’s audience that Pat was like an angel to him when he was just an independent reporter starting out. But those of us who watched Pat’s show could never forget Wolf Blitzer’s reports. He was presented to us as such an expert—we were just so proud of him! And look how high he’s gone. You’d think he’d give Pat a little credit. No doubt he says “Thanks” by inviting him on CNN!
