Blitzer again accused Democrats -- but not Republicans -- of "prejudging"
Edited on Wed Jan-11-06 03:39 PM by Loonman
During CNN's live January 11 coverage of Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Situation Room host Wolf Blitzer again accused Democrats -- but not Republicans -- of prejudging Alito's nomination. "Some Democrats are delivering an early verdict on Alito's performance," Blitzer declared, as the onscreen text read "Democrats" and "Early Judgements ." Later, Blitzer suggested that Democrats were using the hearings to mount a case against Alito, rather than to assess his fitness for elevation to the Supreme Court. Blitzer asked: "Are looking for answers? Or for the Supreme Court nominee to stumble?" But Blitzer made no similar comments about Republicans, several of whom have showered Alito with praise and asked him fawning questions.

2. Leslie should
go back to work for his former boss Pat Robertson. Lies are acceptable at the club.

3. Blitzer is only like that because...
...of his diet of hard cheese and drywall. He has not had a bowel movement since the Johnson administration. (The Andrew Johnson administration.)

5. Blitzer gets worse by the hour. Have any of
you noticed when something "momentous" or breaking news comes on he is always there. He ran off to Israel overnight to be there when Sharon died. I just know he did not think he would live. And he has been on air continously for the Alito hearings. After the episode with Howard Dean I e-mailed CNN and asked them if Wolf had attended the Elmer Fudd School of Journalism because he has become a cartoon character. No reply of course. I simply can't stand him.

7. Oh right
Yeah, and Lindsey didn't show ANY evidence of pre-judging, assuring Alito of his vote. Please!

11. "PRE-judging" ???? Alito has a long & frighteningly extreme judicial
record. We are not prejudging anything other than the fact that this man is unlikely to do a 180 degree turn if he makes it to the Supreme Court.

12. Of course he did!
We all know that he works for the corporate media. He is paid to tell us their version of reality. You know that, I know that, even my dog knows that, yes my dog is very smart, thank you, yet you act surprised.

14. That Giant Sucking Sound is Blitzer kissing GOP ass.
His knees broke the sound barrier as they slammed down in his habitual posture of Reichs Postulence. His internship at the 700 Club trained him well.
