Wolf Blitzer Faux Pas!!!
CNN | 09/01/04 | vanity

Posted on 08/31/2004 9:21:49 AM PDT by Lancey Howard

Wolf Blitzer, during a roundtable discussion with two other guys, brought up the "Purple heart band-aid" gimmick used by some delegates at the GOP convention to ridicule Kerry. Wolf then said, "This kind of thing could backfire if it is viewed as a slam against veterans who DID earn their Purple Hearts."

I fell out of my chair and couldn't get to my computer fast enough to post this. Incredible faux pas by Blitzer.

Not to worry, Wolfie, It's only meant as a slam to Kerry, not to anyone who DID win a purple heart. (mutually exclusive group)

Air time for this statement by Wolf was ~12:20pm on Tuesday, September 1st. I will be interested to see the "official" transcript when it gets posted.

This kind of journalism could backfire if it is viewed as a slam against journalists who DO THEIR HOMEWORK. Wolf who?
