sane time sane place

Wolf Blitzer is an idiot. There was a time when he would ask relatively tough questions and actually would try to get his interviewees to respond. Those days are long gone. Wolf will ask a pointed question which will be completely sidestepped, and Wolf will calmly move onto the next question. He doesn't even appear to listen to the answers. By any standards, Wolf is not a tough journalist. Last night he gave an embarrassing performance in which he actually tried (desperately) to create news. A reporter in northern Israel mentioned that 10 Katyusha rockets had landed in southern Lebanon. The IDF weren't particularly alarmed, and the rockets were not landing in Israel, and it wasn't certain that the rockets were fired by Hezbollah. In less than 5 minutes Wolf declared that the rockets were fired by Hezbollah, and that surely this would be the end of the fragile cease fire. Wolf tried for 15 minutes to make a major news story out of an event that didn't seem to bother anyone else very much.
