Wolf Blitzer sputters in broad exasperation -- "Pfffft. What a mess!"

[Armstead]

At the end of a discussion with Terry Jeffreys and James Carville about both the ports and the situation in Iraq, Wolf Blitzer sighed and said "What a mess." Hard to tell which he was referring to, but it sounded like all encompassing aside.

That's an understatement, Wolf. It's what most of us would say about the last five years.

1. Oh I know Wolfie, why don't the little people just roll over and accept

their fate?

[hatrack]

16. If he gets tired of sighing and pouting, will CBN take him back?

I sure hope so!

[Wetzelbill]

2. how about "What a clusterfuck!"

because that sums up the whole dark time we've had these guys in office.

[Rageneau]

3. He should have said, "What a mess --- and I helped make it!"

[calimary]

10. "What a mess" indeed? He probably said that in acknowledgment

that it's such a big mess even he can't figure out how to spin it positively. It's just too big even for him to get his little brain around, no less even try thinking about helping to clean it up and protect young george. Hell, I'm glad I don't have the job of bush's PR representatives. This is a nightmare scenario. Probably akin to the plight of a defense attorney with a client who's dead-sure guaranteed to be guilty without any doubt.

Too big a mess, and it won't just go away tomorrow, either. A mess of this size takes quite awhile to quiet down. And in this day and age, that's not even the end of the story anymore. The big uproar may subside, but it's likely to resurface any time some campaigner or other opponent wants to mention it again (cue the file footage). It becomes the "gift that keeps on giving."

Straight into the November elections, one hopes... :evilgrin:

15. So right! Every one of those beltway whores has blood on his hands

There is no bottom to the comtempt I have for our wonderful(sic) national press corps.

4. Terry Jefferys?

Who cares what that self appointed 'Expert' thinks?

He is one of the many expert reasons I do not watch cable news.

19. Man, That Guy Bugs Me!

I'm with you, man! That guy doesn't know anything about anything. And the magazine for which he writes is a propaganda arm of the RNC. That guy is dumber than dirt and is somewhere on TV every single week!

5. With jr at the helm there was no other possible outcome.

It was all destined to fail, doomed from the get-go.

[Armstead]

9. That was kind of the feeling I had when I heard it

It's like all of the BS has finally reached the breaking point. And half the country saw it coming with the election of GW in 2000.

[blm]

6. What did Carville say?

.

[Armstead]

8. Not much

Said Bush will find an "exit strategy" to pull out of the port deal.

[IsItJustMe]

12. Carville says, the port scandal will go away, Iraq isn't.

[underpants]

7. Then Wolf returned to the treetop Ewok village to begin shaving...

for the next day's adventure down in human land.

[RandomKoolzip]

18. Boiiiing!

:thumbsup:

[IsItJustMe]

11. I just heard that a few minutes ago. What a mess, is right.

I guess it must be rough to see the chickens coming home to roust. Especialy when your lack of real media coverage helped cause the problem.

[Blue Belle]

13. It was probably a Freudian slip in regard to his crappy show....

fucking Bush Apologist... :eyes:

[tanyev]

14. Maybe it's time for Wolfie to retire. He's not coping very well.

:nopity:

[spanone]

17. I caught that.

20. Time Warner and UAE just signed a significant contract - don't expect them

to rock the boat - the faster this disappears the better..

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - United Arab Emirates-based media investment company Istithmar controls 2.39 percent of Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE:TWX - news) stock and has hired one of Carl Icahn's entities as its advisor, the firm disclosed in a U.S. regulatory filing on Thursday.

The Dubai investment firm acquired the stake in January through $2 billion in participation notes issued by UBS AG.

The notes give Istithmar effective control of more than 109 million Time Warner shares, according to the company's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Set up in 2003, Istithmar is owned by the Dubai government and one of several vehicles the emirate uses to buy overseas assets. It invests in areas such as financial services, real estate and the industrial sector.

21. So now CNN will get rid of the remaining 10% of real reporters it has left

I guess. Or indoctrinate them.
