Wolfie drives me nuts!!! Why must he repeat everything

[yy4me]

a guest says or qualify their comments with the phrase, " are you saying that......", or "do you mean?"? Well, duh, that is what the person just said. Good grief, my only choices for 6PM news are Wolfie and Tucker Carlson. Yikes, its a case of pick your poison.

1. Say what?

[thepurpose]

2. Every single thing is "Just in!!!" too. Drives me crazy.

3. his brain seizes up and gets clogged up otherwise.

without constant repetition he ends up channeling Condi Rice.

4. My biggest problem with Wolfie ...

... (and God knows, there are LOTS!) is his constant interrupting to insert "facts" - for the brain-dead in the audience, to whit:

GUEST: "You'll remember that back in the spring, when Cheney cited the reasons for ..."

WOLFIE: "Ah, for our viewers at home, that would be Dick Cheney, vice president of the United States?"

I guess there's always the possibility that the guest was actually referring to Ralph Cheney, who runs the parking lot across the street from the Lincoln Memorial, and was about to cite Ralph's reasons for the success of The Surge in Iraq.

NOTE TO WOLFIE: The people who DON'T know that Cheney is the VP are NOT watching your show, or CNN. They are watching cartoons on another network.

Geesh!

5. So are you saying that Wolf Blitzer,

that's Wolf Blitzer of CNN, repeats what others say, states the obvious over and over, and multiply uhhhh... acCENtuATES what he is repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating?? Is that what you're saying...? Because others might NOT say that...in factuhhhhh...others might say that quite frankly...he doesn't do that. That being what you stated originally, right? You can't say that you don't believe that you wouldn't be so unsure of yourself, would you?

11. ....and we're back. This is The Shitstain Room.

The most annoying thing I can recall about Leslie (Wolf) Blitzer, before I shitcanned him, is the way he barrels toward the end of the sentence with abandon, and while not running completely out of breath, decides to pause, as he reads ahead on the









teleprompter.
