I really thought this was one of those CNN "joke" threads we all like to post now and then. Jeebus, how ridiculous. We already know how pathetic CNN has become, and especially how Blitzer is, but this is a special kind of facepalm.

We don't know at this point what the fucking deal is, who's responsible and why. Given that it's tax day and given the proximity to the anniversaries of both Waco and Oklahoma City, I have my own guesses. But anything at this point is just random speculation. And I hope the FBI doesn't pull a "Jewell" in this case, as they did for the '96 Atlanta Olympics bombing. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it did, given its history and culture.
