CNN's emphasis on establishing beachheads in its schedule with personalities has given birth to strong, informative programs helmed by Aaron Brown, Wolf Blitzer...
ROFLMAO Informative and Wolf don't belong in the same sentence! Wolf Blitzer's Idiot Moment
Neal Boortz - Newsmax^ I caught myself watching something called "War Room" with Wolf Blitzer on CNN last night. The assembled guests included a former ambassador to Afghanistan (I think), a spokesman for the Northern Alliance, and a retired Army general. Toward the end of the program Blitzer brought up a subject I raised on the air yesterday, that being whether or not the U.S. forces were pounding the Taliban as they fled Kabul.
Blitzer brought up the "Highway of Death" scenario from the Gulf War and then posed the question to the general: "Should the U.S. attack the columns of fleeing Taliban?" The general responded with one word: "Sure!"
Then comes Blitzer's finest moment: "But they're sitting ducks!"
"But they're sitting ducks!" I missed that. By design. I don't normally stay on CNN.
I hope the general responded something like:
"Okay, Wolf. We won't take out the ones that are planning to murder and commit mayhem only on the CNN family and audience. Happy?"
