The continuation of the well publicized brouhaha (ed note: ass kicking!) between Michael Moore and Wolf Blitzer may not provide the fireworks witnessed around the country yesterday but it is still a worthy watch. Blitzer is considerably more conciliatory (ed note: tamed!) this time around referring to parts of Moore’s new movie Sicko as “powerful” on more than one occasion. Moore, however, saved the best for last with a classic comment to Blitzer at the very end of the segment that had me laughing out loud and should not be missed.
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand,
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook’s,
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein.
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Ahwooooo!
You hear him howling around your kitchen door,
You better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night,
Werewolves of London again.
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Ahwooooo! Huh!
He’s the hairy handed gent who ran amuck in Kent,
Lately he’s been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him,
He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim,
Huh! I’d like to meet his tailor.
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Ahwooooo!
Well, I saw dick cheney walking with the Queen,
Doing the Werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen,
Doing the Werewolves of London.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s,
And his hair was perfect.
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn, Huh! Draw blood!
Ahhwooooo… Werewolf of cnn…

While we’re on CNN, how come we heard about the “librul DA” 24×7 on Duke LaCrosse thing (because Rush Limbaugh pushed it, white victims of an out of control DA), but an out of control racist DA who sentences 6 black kids to 100 years in prison for a SCHOOL FIGHT gets ZERO press from CNN:

Because corporate racist stooges Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, Coulter, Malkin, and the whole gang pushed the Duke/LaCrosse “out of control librul DA” story, and ANBCBSNNX is beholden to the Republican Noise Machine.
CNN: Why don’t you give as much time to THIS story? Because it’s “blacks as victims”? And Rush Limbaugh didn’t push it through to you?
CNN: Where’s the “out of control RACIST DA” story covered 24×7, like the “out of control LIBRUL DA” Rush Limbaugh pushed through to you?
Don’t guess Dubya will give that boy a pardon…

Dr Gupta must have merely read off what was handed to him. He appears to be too dependent on the writers, who apparently lack precision and research skills and quality controls. This incident shed some light into his integrity as a journalist. Blitzer on the other hand, somewhat redeemed himself on that second part; he’s like the kid brother that did good but he kind makes a dork of himself along his journey; but Blitzer has grown some, we witness his attempts; remember Cheney.
