1. Wolf just sounds kind of nervous

Some people are not naturally suited to be on teevee.

3. I had always thought Blitzer was Jewish so this seems a particularly odd question...

I guess I was wrong on at least one count.

I hope his embarrassment sends a little message to other tv types. Don't assume. (I guess I should count me in that....LOL)

9. Jews have been thanking the Lord since Abraham's time.

[hlthe2b]

11. Ok, then I admit to ignorance... My own Jewish friends refer to

the Lord only in terms of Jesus and Christianity's view...

[Xipe Totec]

2. Thanks, for nothin, Lord... nt

[KansDem]

4. Class act...

She's an atheist, but she doesn't blame anybody for "Thanking the Lord."

Now, what would a religionist say? "I thank the Lord, but it was those damned atheists that incurred His wrath!"

It's all about tolerance and getting along in a diverse world...

[maddiemom]

5. Amen! If, as an agnostic, I may use the expression.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. If we could recommend replies, I'd recommend this one.

7. That little baby has a great Mom

Sweet, smart, considerate...I hope she doesn't get hated on. Then again, she should have defused any backlash by being conciliatory and only acknowledging her atheism when Wolf pushed her to the edge.

[Ed Suspicious]

8. She did fine. She was put on the spot and spoke the truth. He brought up.

Wolf: You gotta thank The Lord right?

Her: Yeah.

Wolf: Do you thank The Lord?

Her: Actually... I'm atheist but wouldn't blame...

10. He had to satisfy the Xhristian overlords

who own and control CNN (fox lite).
If he had not invoked "IT'S" name at least
once, they would have come out and held a sermon
on the mount for his heathen soul.



cHristians are complete hypocrites.

[damnedifIknow]

12. Good for her

I would have added well if there really was a lord would this have happened in the first place?

[Hulk]

13. Just wondering....are the Christians "thanking the Lord"

..for the tornado that tore their homes and lives apart? I mean, isn't this just a bit hypocritical..again? We thank Him for NOT killing us. But then seems He had his hand in the whole story, no? I'm just becoming such a cynical bastard; but this drives me nuts.

And what drives me even further nuts is how these supposedly "news people" jump into the pain and suffering and want to milk these poor souls for their inner most thoughts, so they can boost their fookin' ratings.
I went to the gym last night and was watching the 10 tv monitors, and I am just fed up with this "milkers" dropping in like flies to the misery and devastation, so they can walk around and get the victims to shed tears and tragic stories over the airwaves. How exploitive and disgusting.
Is it just me?

14. Thank You!
