I just saw the most remarkable exchange on CNN....

Wolf Blitzer was talking about the bus fire this morning that killed 24 elderly people from the Houston area...

He asked Bob Franken, after Franked reported that they think that a fire started somewhere on the bus, which then blew up the oxygen tanks...

Wolf said, "Bob, do you think the authorities are going to check into the thinking into letting those people on the bus with oxygen?" (a little paraphrased, but not much)...

Franken then said, "Well, Wolf, I don't think there really was an alternative!"

This is astounding....these were older people from a nursing home....my mother died in January from congestive heart failure...for the last year of her life she HAD to have her oxygen on at ALL times....

What did Wolf think would happen to these patients w/o their oxygen?

I know it's now become a tired cliche, but the media really is "stuck on stupid."

These newsmen-journalists-reporters like Wolf-so-very-black-Blitzer seem to have a frightening lack of sense..common or otherwise.

He reminds me of an ACTUAL robot.

Trick question. It implies that Wolf has the ability to think. I can see no evidence of that.
