CNN's Blitzer to Schieffer: "[W]hat do you do if ... John Kerry says somet
What the hell is Blitzer talking about? I did'nt see it.

According to CNN host Wolf Blitzer, Senator John Kerry said "something really, really nasty at the president" during the second presidential debate that precipitated President George W. Bush's talking over debate moderator and ABC co-anchor Charles Gibson in order to respond.

On the October 12 edition of Wolf Blitzer Reports, Blitzer asked the following of CBS News chief Washington correspondent and Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer, who is scheduled to moderate the final presidential debate on October 13:

BLITZER: Well, what happens, though, what do you do if -- if what happened the other night in St. Louis happens, that John Kerry says something really, really nasty at the president and it's time for you to move on to another subject, but the president is obviously anxious to respond and he just starts talking? How do you -- he's the president of the United States.

1. What. A. Lie!!!!
Kerry didn't say anything nasty! Tens of millions of people watched the second debate. If Kerry had said something nasty to the preserdent the Republicans would have been all over it.

Blitzer is such a whore. It's all that golfing he does with W and Poppy. Must have gotten hit in the head with a golf ball one too many times.

3. That "something nasty" was
pointing out that there is NO coalition.

7. Actually this twerp is NOT President of the United States, any more than
Wolf Blitzkreig is a journalist.

The constitution is quite explicit about what you must do to become President of the United States, and nowhere is appointment by the Supreme Court mentioned.

George W. Bush is the person who has been allowed to act as if he were President of the United States, but he is NOT the ACTUAL President of the United States. He is now a candidate for the office, but if elected, he should be impeached on the grounds that he has already sworn - albeit illegally - to defend the constitution and has already failed in that task, much as he failed in every other serious endeavor he has ever attempted.

6. Blitzer is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He tries, but he just
doesn't get it. He, like Judy, are afraid of the Rethugs. What a state our media is in today. It is enough to make you sick.

8. It would have been nice if Bob Scheiffer had said
that he watched the debate and didn't hear John Kerry say anything really, really nasty to Shrub, but then he would have sounded like a real journalist and we can't have that, can we?

10. Wolf Blitzkreiger was arguing with Rob Reiner today
Reiner was explaining why he opposed the Iraq war. Blitzkreiger, the number one war whore in American media was not just asking him questions. He was trying to put Reiner in his place for even questioning the reasons why we went to war. Wolf Blitzkreiger, the man with the blood of thousands on his hands for having been the biggest Iraq war cheerleader on our TV screens.

11. Go to Daily Howler Dot com--Somerby has an excellent dissection
of Caninus lupus sp Blitzer and his extraordinary question--including transcripts of the Kerry quotes that are distorted by the CNN Chief News EDITOR!!!

Didn't Wolf look fierce and hypnotic today? I could hardly look at his eyes, they were like laser beams!!

13. Don't be mad at Wolf

He's just nervous, that's all.

After all, when Kerry wins he's actually going to have to try and find his integrity. It won't be easy.

"And now, to our Consumer Reporter, Leslie Blitzer. What's up with that stroller recall, Les?"
