BLITZER: Donald, youre beginning to sound a little ridiculous, i have to tell you.
TRUMP: You are, wolf. Let me tell you something, i think you sound ridiculous and if youd ask me a question and let me answer it.
BLITZER: Heres the question, did the conspiracy start in 1961 where the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the Advertiser contemporaneously published announcements that he was born in Hawaii?
TRUMP: Many people put those announcements in because they wanted to get the benefit because of getting so-called born in this country. Many people did it. It was somethingdone by many people even though they werent born in the country. You know and I know it.

RT @Chris_Moody: Wolf Blitzer's interview w/ Trump is challenging Chris Matthews' Newt Gingrich Zoo interview for best cable TV segment ever.
Trying to find video, on Edit found it
On Edit: I found this great up to the minute UK reporting on our U.S. Elections...It also is doing a play by play on the Blitzer/Trump exchange

But Trump now wants to get off the phone so this is getting wrapped up, even when Wolf asks Donald if he wants to say anything else. Usually that's red meat to Trump but not today because we can almost hear the Romney aides trying to tear the handset out of Trump's fingers.
CNN should just instantly repeat this whole segment straight away but it's ad break time. But not before Wolf Blitzer, ever the pro, does a quick tease on Trump: "Did he make his critics angier?"
4.15pm: Now on CNN, speaking live from Las Vegas, Donald Trump is claiming that there are "many people" who dispute the legitimacy of Obama's birth certificate.
"Give me a name," says Blitzer.
"I don't give names," says Trump.
Blitzer wants Trump to tell him what his own "investigations" discovered. And Trump is now squirming. "Now let us get back to the subject at hand," complains Trump, who can't resist saying that Obama's birth is "an important issue," although he doesn't want to talk about any more.
Anyone wanting confirmation that Donald Trump is or isn't an idiot will have been happy with this interview.
I can't stop!!! I am doubling over here!

(20,818 posts)I remember right after Katrina, the Blitz was in NO interviewing some experts about the failed levees. The experts were talking about why the levees had failed and Wolfie the Tool asks, I kid you not, "So, who's to blame for this, Clinton?" I simply couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then I realized it was Woflie doing the interviewing.
