Can Wolf Blitzer Survive The Latest Middle East Conflict?

On a much lighter note than the previous two posts, I saw Wolf Blitzer on CNN tonight. They finally talked him into getting out of the "Situation Room" and over to Israel. Of course he's in Jerusalem, as far away from rockets coming from either north or south of Israel as you can get right now.

He "interviewed" Benjamin Netanyahu tonight. He allowed Netanyahu to overpower him with a monologue that Wolf wasn't able to stop. He didn't know what to ask and he wasn't strong enough to stop Netanyahu to ask a tough question. He looked as if he was in a coma as Netanyahu went on and on giving the party line.

I can't see Wolfy in the Situation Room much longer. Not when CNN has a real journalist, John Roberts from CBS, under contract.

Wolf's delivery is so monotone and dull that the Situation Room is the only news program on TV where they have to have a snare drum playing in the background while he announces headlines.

Get it over with, CNN. Replace Wolf with Roberts and you can drop the drum as a way of trying to introduce drama into the headlines.
