Wolf Blitzer called Clinton's margin "impressive" 3 times in 10 seconds.
Then began spouting Clinton campaign lines. I can't believe that baboon is still on the air. Even aside from his bias at times...even aside from his sheer lack of intellect...he is a piss poor journalist.

1. Since Hillary NEEDED 65% of the vote, a FORTY-point win would have been impressive.

31+ points = blowout for Hillary

30 points = victory for Hillary

10 - 29 points = wash for Hillary

6 - 9 points = humiliation for Hillary

1 - 5 points = the end for Hillary

:headbang:

3. 8% is impressive? What election is he talking about? She needed over 10% minimum.
She had a 20% lead just four weeks ago.

It is accepted by most of the pundits that anything less than 10% would be good for Obama, and 8% or less could be considered a win by him, considering the situation. And at the very least, she needed over 10% to indicate that at least in her own territory there was a strong movement to vote for her.

There is apparently no strong movement to vote for her.

12. Impressive compared to, I dunno, a 5% win?
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 10:17 PM by high density
Yeah it's twice a 5% win, but it's not exactly near the 70/30 blowout she needed.

13. Pat Robertson's protege...
what can one expect?

Wolf Blitzer’s Secret
---------------------
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!


After all, Pat started a J-School (Journalism School) and Bob Slosser, who had worked for the New York Times became the President of CBN University and Bob Slosser shared Pat’s vision of a new America. Slosser was at the graduation of the first graduate from the Institute of Journalism, it was a young lady named Eliza Wright. And the Governor of Missouri, a fellow named John Ashcroft gave the graduation speech on May 20, 1985! (My how these folks go way back together—and it shows what loyalty can do!) Bob Slosser told the 700 Club audience that day:


“We’re going to change the way the country thinks, we’ve bought into this secularism thing and that’s taken us right down the wrong path. I believe that this institution and those like this…will change the way this country thinks!”


I guess Wolf Blitzer is doing his best to help Americans change the way we think—even about assassination! Shame on you Wolf! I can see why you would be reluctant to give credit to Pat for helping to launch your career. And it does explain why you don’t mention it, but really—don’t you think murdering people is immoral—or is that part of how you always wanted to change America too?

14. At Clinton News Network?
:wow:

CNN is mostly Republican/McCain/Bush supporters that have all but publicly endorsed Hillary to be their opponent. Wolf included.
