Wolf Blitzer is such a moron!

He is so obviously out of his depth 'reporting' live on the scene at a developing story it's almost comedic. I spent an hour earlier watching him on CNN and his only contribution was, "The suspect will be affected by the gas but the SWAT team won't because they've got gas masks." (paraphrasing but very close to what he inanely said)

The other reporters seemed almost embarrassed to have him hanging around, like a smelly old uncle at a wedding and no-one's got the heart to tell them they stink.

He's just as bad in the studio when he goes off the script and ad libs.

Now that Anderson Cooper is on there's some proper reporting and analysis. The difference is like night and day.


Why do CNN still waste their money employing Dolt Blitzer when it's so obvious he's incapable?

Or maybe, instead of Wolf Blitzer, how about "Barking Dog" Blitzer?
