Now Here's Breaking News: Wolf Blitzer of CNN Finally Grows a Pair (of Balls, That Is!)

AmericaBlog reminds me of the transcript and video at Huffington Post I wanted to post about since I saw it on Sunday; Wolf Blitzer, when talking to Rep. McHenry, an idiot GOP House of Reprehensible about the Foley matter, actually showed he'd (finally!) grown at least a small pair of testicles. A little is at least better than none at all. ::cough::

Notably - and Jon Stewart pointed this out beautifully last night - McHenry kept trying to insist that Foley's "outing" was a Democratic ploy in the typical GOP lie fest.

Blitzer: Well you don't have any evidence though, right?

Rep. McHenry: Well look at the fact points...four weeks out from a national election...

Blitzer: Yes or no: do you have any evidence? Do you have any evidence Congressman?

Rep. McHenry: Do you have any evidence that says they weren't involved?

Blitzer: I'm just asking if you're just throwing out an accusation or if you have any hard evidence.

Rep. McHenry: No, it's a question Wolf. The question remains, were they involved? And if they were not involved they need to say clearly, and it's a question, it's not an accusation.

Blitzer: Well, they are denying that they had anything to do with this.
As Stewart pointed out, of course this is wonderful logic. Go investigate all 400-odd other House of Reprehensibles to make sure they aren't guilty before you look at Foley and Hastert. Sheesh.
