Wolf BLitzer is an ass

I just saw his inexcusable and humiliating treatment of Hillary Rosen, chiding an on air 'apology' from her, to Ann Romney, on his show, today.

I am disappointed she apologized at ALL.

Now she's made to sit at the feet of the Babbling Blitzer & issue yet another apology?

The guy's an idiot. He can't handle anything off script. He should apologize to Rossen.

9. Didn't she tell him she doesn't need to talk to Ann, because Ann isn't running for President?

Hillary Rosen did a great job redirecting W.B. Which brings us back to why Hilary made the comment in the first place. Romney deferring economic issues that affect the 99 percent is concerning because the issues are different than they are for women of the 1 percent...

Someone should bring Ms. Warren in to make it clear why Ann who could be anything with ever resource is not a viable spokeswomen for stay at home mothers.... Economically speaking that is...

use his real name...Leslie. What is it about those guys?

Anyway, that little kerfuffle could have remained front and center if Romney had just shut his mouth. But, oh no, he didn't (thankfully) do that. Just today, he made some anti-women remarks at the NRA convention.

As President, I will follow a very different path than President Obama. I will be a staunch defender of religious freedom. The Obamacare regulation is not a threat and insult to only one religious group - it is a threat and insult to every religious group. As President, I will abolish it.

If Mitt Romney abolished it, he wouldn't be expanding freedom for a damn soul—but he would be taking away access to birth control coverage for millions of women.

There you go. He just keeps doing the work for us!

Full remarks, if you care are here:

it's not the "traditional" work that Hillary was referring to. What she said was 100% true.

Wolf Blitzer's net worth is 16 million--he represents the 1% sociopathic class.

Geez, you'd think she dissed his mother for crying out loud the way he carried on.
