Dorner tells Wolf Blitzer, "Keep up the good work"

Ugh!

Sorry to use Dorner as an excuse to trash Blitzer but Wolf is an idiot newsreader. He really gets on my nerves because he seems to have no comprehension of the news he is reading. The latest for me was when he said he had never heard of "thundersnow". I know it is a little thing but he drives me crazy!

Wolf saying he never heard of Thundersnow, two days ago: http://archive.org/details/CNNW_20130208_210000_The_Situation_Room#start/540/end/570

Wolf talking about thundersnow in Feb 2011: http://archive.org/details/CNN_20110202_220000_The_Situation_Room_With_Wolf_Blitzer#start/7020/end/7050

Same weather guy talking about thundersnow while Wolf is standing there in 2010: http://archive.org/details/CNN_20100210_220000_The_Situation_Room_With_Wolf_Blitzer#start/5580/end/5610

Reminds me of this, where a talk show sidekick knew more about current events than Blitzer:

BTW, Has Anderson Cooper bothered to tell us what was on that DVD from Dorner? Why haven't any of the other "several news organizations" that received the same package released its contents? I'm not trying to excuse Dorner but I would think the details of what is on the DVD would be newsworthy in my opinion.
