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.

You have said, multiple times, that I hate the military. You did say that I’m cheering for those who want America to burn.

Let me put another way, how do you feel about the military? Feel good, warm and fuzzy when you see a soldier in service? How would you feel about a military recruiter coming to a local highschool to speak about opportunities in the service (including the Air Force and Navy, non ground pounders)? Would ya’ feel good about that?

I regard those allegations as an obscene impugning of my values and character. Very much a personal attack.

Anyway, at this point I’m going to quit. I hereby withdraw to the Himalayas, where I will contemplate my navel for an eternity or two.

“you just hate our military” or “you just hate America” or “you’re just a cheerleader for al-Qaeda” is not?

This is just from your psoting trend, and I don’t think I said you hate America but you think of us as the “problem”, not a personal attack. It is a opinion summized from your trend of only posting negative articles about our government and our troops, plain and simple, nothing personal about it…

At least my insults are clearly labelled “insult” and don’t masquerade as the truth about you, or what you think, or what you feel.

You’re intellectually dishonest even with your insults and attacks.

You want to actually respond any time soon to any of the substantive comments you have chosen to ignore just in the last two days?

Perhaps if the personal attacks hadn’t been mixed in I might have…

Your constant refrain of “you just hate our military” or “you just hate America” or “you’re just a cheerleader for al-Qaeda” is far more childish and far more obscene than anything anyone here has ever said to you.

Not to mention that it’s totally pathetic too. Have you ever had an original though in your life?

Oh really? I wonder how many of our troops would agree with that…

he’s a stupid pooh pooh head

If you say so. Presumably you would know.

what makes you think you calling my intelligence into question is going to matter to me?

What makes you think I care in the slightest whether it matters to you?

How many times of you told me to go do something to a duck?

Feel free to let me know. How many times of I?

If you want to go by “seems”, he also seems to have no common sense whatsoever, and very little intelligence, to boot. And not much intellectual honesty either.

Yeah, and he’s a stupid pooh pooh head….c’mon, can’t you do better than that? I mean seriously, I laughed at my Drill Sgt. when he was screaming insults in my face, what makes you think you calling my intelligence into question is going to matter to me?

Why is it that even though I’m the so called “mentally challenged” one that it is you who resorts to name calling? Is it a sign of intelligence to resort to childish name calling? How many times of you told me to go do something to a duck? I mean how old are you anyway???

JimC seems to believe what he says.
