The question of the day goes to Wolf Blitzer.

The last 2 weeks I was forced have CNN on for my daytime news because msnbc was covering the Olympics.

Wolf was going absolutely bonkers, ballistic over the ad that shows the man who lost his job because of Bain and that his wife passed away from cancer.

Wolf was calling it a flat out lie. He could not believe it a pro-Obama super pac would "lie" like that. He had on one analyst after another to prove his point.
I actually thought that Wolf was going to pass out from all his anger at that ad.

In the meantime - the Romney campaign put out an ad that is completely false about President Obama cutting Welfare... most of us has seen it. Everyone has called it for what it is - pure BS. And as we all know, the msm has given it very little attention - especially in comparison the the ad where the man's wife dies. Even tho one ad was put out by a Super-Pac and the other ad was put out by the Romney Campaign!

This weekend Mitt adds Paul Ryan to his ticket and goes on the stump calling for an end to the lies and the pettiness.
That didn't last long. Today there is a new ad where AGAIN the Romney campaign is flat out lying to the American People.

So Wolf - I will be tuning in later so I can see the same amount of outrage about the Romney people LYING to voters.
Again - Wolf - this load of shit comes from the campaign - not a superpac.

Burnett also got in a humongous lather over the super-pac ad.
