Bob Bennett offended by Wolf Blitzer over Brother Bill

Yes, Obviously Wolf didn't clear the question with brother Bob about brother Bill's latest remark. Transcript

BLITZER: Have you discussed this issue with him?

BENNETT: Well, no, and, Wolf, let me say, I am rather disappointed at you for not telling me you would ask me about that. This was about Judy Miller, and I think that's a courtesy you could have extended to me.

BENNETT: I didn't know that at all, Wolf. In the past you've always been very straight with me. And I'm honest with you and I'm offended by that.

BLITZER: You are a good lawyer and a good brother and a good friend. Thanks very much for joining us.

It's probably fairly common to tell your guests what questions you might be asking or the subject that will be discussed, but it wasn't out of line for Wolf to bring it up in the interview. The outrage, oh-the outrage.

2. it's still kind of weird that they are brothers
since Bob isn't really like Bill.

4. Wolfies has A LOT of Friends in high places...Bennett, Donna Brazile...
He said the same thing about her. "a friend for many years."

Now he said that Bennett is "a good lawyer, and a good brother and a good friend."

Rampant cronyism. Maybe Blitzer was trying to make it seem like he "popped one" to Bennett. Just to confuse those who have him down as Uber Media Whore. :-(

6. Bennet sounds defensive. He could have just said "No."
Did he think he was gonna taint some DC jury pool if he said that he hadn't bothered to chastise his brother for the comments?
