3. To be honest Wolf proved he actually can be a journalist if he wants to be
The White House minion he was interviewing looked absolutely stunned that Wolf actually had the temerity to question her like he did.

17. Guess all those letters are paying off. He's either listening or
noticed a shift in the wind.

7. That was amazing to watch...
I think her name was Nicole Wallace (speaking for the administration). Blitzer kept interrupting her at every turn. She was desperately trying to stay on message....which was to say (in criticizing Rep. Murtha) that IMMEDIATE withdrawal was not an option. But Wolf kept stopping her to say that Rep. Murtha was asking for withdrawal within 6 months NOT an immediate withdrawal. She kept trying to say "immediate withdrawal", he kept correcting her by saying "withing six months". This was amazing to watch.

He would NOT let her spin her talking points!

10. saw those couple minutes. words do matter says wolfie
lets make this clear. you are saying immediate withdrawal, not what murtha said. he says 6 months drawing them out and then deploying them in other countries that they can be near just in case. the proposal voted on in the house was immediate withdrawal. they are not the same thing

he wouldnt let her off. didnt finish watching but was a good two minutes.

That wench said that 79 senators voted against Murtha's proposal. Lying POS!

Man she is a weasel... she'd give Scotty a run for her money.

18. Yes. He's got a long way to go before he can claim any integrity.
But Ms. Wallace is beyond arrogance and ignorance. Hopeless case.

21. Here is a link

<snip>WALLACE: Right, that's what I'm saying, Wolf.

It is not the job of the president or vice president to repeat what a spokesperson says. I think most people watching find that a silly premise.

And certainly the policies that Congressman Murtha advocated are not debatable. He was very clear. He advocated an immediate withdrawal from the battle space in Iraq.

BLITZER: He didn't advocate an immediate withdrawal. He said over the next six months, and then to keep the troops in neighboring states like Kuwait, Qatar, over the horizon, to go back in if necessary.

WALLACE: Well, look, you've had him on your air for a lot of the last five days and I think he's probably articulated his position much more clearly than I can do. We disagree with the...

BLITZER: That's what he articulated the first day when he made his long statement.

WALLACE: Well, I'm not sure what you want to debate me on, Wolf.

BLITZER: I'm not debating. I'm just saying he didn't call for an immediate withdrawal.
