VIDEO: Wolf Blitzer describes victims as "So Poor, So Black"
In a rare moment of truth broadcast on CNN, Wolf Blitzer lets slip that the victims of the New Orleans flooding are "so poor, and so black." He immediately goes to a commercial break.

Funny.

Then saddening.

Then angering.

3. they also played a clip of Stern in NO over two years ago:
he'd read a few stories while there, and stated very clearly that if a storm like Katrina (didn't use the name, obviously) hit there, the levees would break and the city would be underwater.

so even buffoons like him realized the danger

none. None more black."

Edited to add: Wolf is a putz. He needs to spend some time in the Superdome. Without food and water.
