Okay, who gave Wolf Blitzer a spine all of the sudden?

[ClusterFreak]

Just wonderin'.

[gatorboy]

1. I think he's getting back for Mrs Cheney's little accusation.

Didn't she practically accuse him of being an Enemy of the State?

[ClusterFreak]

5. Pretty much I think...

He's grown a pair for this interview anyway...

[Rosemary2205]

2. Blowing with the wind........

[xultar]

3. He got it on loan from www.spinesforrent.com... He'll have to return it

before Friday @ midnight so don't get too excited.

[lancdem]

8. lol

[jannyk]

21. It was defective anyway. Didn't hold up to the 'evil eye'

...in fact Wolfie quickly reverted to a spineless, fawning, spluttering sycophant when subjected to the 'eye' - it was pathetic.

[Uncle Joe]

22. My thoughts exactly

:rofl:

[etherealtruth]

4. I think the Chimp and the evil cabal's poll #'s are in the sewer ...

He's pandering. I don't think there's any more to it than that.

[WI_DEM]

6. could you elaborate just a little?

[ClusterFreak]

9. Wolfie's going toe to toe with Cheney on the Situation Room.

He's got Cheney's back up big time.

[AlCzervik]

7. one part was truly horkworthy-"We (cnn) are all happy about Mary's baby"

who the hell cares if cnn is happy, is it their kid?

[TahitiNut]

18. Watch that part VERY CLOSELY. Rarely have I ever seen Cheney angrier.

He was giving Blitzkrieg a Look That Kills ... and Blitzkrieg visibly reddens as he uses the word "sympathy" for Mary and Liz Cheney. (Blitz has a deer in the headlights look.) Cheney has malice that is palpable ... a truly sociopathic and arrogant man. He's almost grabbing for the shotgun! This man has 'tells' that he OBVIOUSLY uses to great effect with subordinates and others all the time. These are very habitual pieces of body language, clearly intimidating and controlling.

[AlCzervik]

19. yes he was super pissed and Blitzers fawning during that part probably

amped up Cheney's anger into the stratosphere.

[JeffR]

10. Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Stay tuned for the CNN special report, "Spine Transplants: Back to the Future"

[ClusterFreak]

11. LOL!

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. Well Done! nt

[Cha]

23. It's the Deliverance kid..the one

who can't say "Democratic"!

[JeffR]

24. LOL, he can pick a banjo or a nose

but he can't give a speech for crap!

[tabasco]

12. Propaganda 101.

Maintain a veneer of credibility.

[AndyA]

13. Don't set your expectations too high for Wolf.

We know which side his bread is really buttered on.

It's all just a pony show. "See? I was rough on Cheney, I'm not a right winger..."

[Cabcere]

15. Maybe Keith

let him borrow that extra vertebra of his? ;)

[leftofthedial]

16. why would Israel suddenly be harsh toward the bush cabal?

[gatorboy]

17. Aha! Here we go:

I do believe Wolfie doth hold a grudge :P

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/29/blitzer-cheney/

On Friday, Lynne Cheney repeatedly attacked CNN for having a liberal bias during a combative appearance on the Situation Room. At one point, she criticized CNN for “running terrorist tapes, terrorists shooting Americans” and asked Wolf Blitzer, “Do you want us to win?” She also repeatedly asked Blitzer to end his line of questioning and focus on her new children’s book.

Today on CNN’s Late Edition, Blitzer said he was “surprised” at Cheney’s “sniping at my patriotism,” and pointed out that CNN had specifically labeled the tape of a U.S. soldier under fire as terrorist “propaganda.” He also said that CNN had made clear to Cheney’s staff “only hours before the interview” that she would be asked questions about politics during her appearance, not just about her children’s book. Watch it:

20. Lynne and Dick called that "The Smackdown" in their household

They were both very proud of the way that Lynne attacked Wolf

[question everything]

25. What spine?

He cowered as soon as Cheney huffed and puffed.

Remember those British journalists a few months ago?
