June 13, 2014: Unedited Politics: John McCain Interview with Wolf Blitzer: Use Airstrikes in Iraq – 6/13/14

On THE RECORD: Feb 20, 2014: Jed Lewison (Daily Kos) has an article: "Ted Cruz says it's President Obama's fault people listen to Ted Nugent." It recounts a conversation Dana Bash (CNN) had with Ted Cruz about some comments made by Ted Nugent. It begins: "After playing a clip of GOP surrogate Ted Nugent calling President Obama a "sub-human mongrel," CNN reporter Dana Bash asked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz whether it was appropriate for Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott to campaign with Nugent." The article builds from there but all I want to address is that sentence as the premise for Bash asking anything about Nugent to Ted Cruz. Bash, and people on the same page as her on this (which are numerous) don't seem to know anything about Ted Nugent. As a good journalist it is important to know who your subjects are. It appears that Bash is accepting the same premise as Lewison when he called Nugent a "GOP surrogate." Nugent maybe lots of things but one thing he is not is any political party's surrogate. If anyone has taken the time to listen to Nugent they know that Nugent shoots from the hip. His words are seldom eloquently phrased but that is one of several reasons why so many people are enamored with him. People like Dana Bash dont understand that. Pundits like her are paid a few million dollars a year so they can live in elitist societies where people speak politically correct newspeak. No one can accuse Nugent of being politically correct. That is another reason people like him. Now, could he have used better words? Probably. CNN's Wolf Blitzer was the one, though, who tied the phrase into something our of Nazi Germany which is most likely something Nugent didnt think of all. Come on, media elite, get with the program. If you still think you need to be angry at Ted Nugent for being Ted Nugent I think Nugent will take you on. But now going through all the Republicans to tie them to Nugent is a witch hunt. And this witch hunt was born at CNN and with Wolf Blitzer. Nugent is nobody's surrogate

Wolf Isaac Blitzer (born March 22, 1948) is an American journalist and television news anchor who has been a CNN reporter since 1990. He is the senior anchor of all CNN programs currently in production. Blitzer is currently the host of The Situation Room and CNN's lead political anchor.

Wolf was in Israel, because that's where Wolf belongs, with Ariel Sharon about to croak. ... Wolf is an old friend of Ariel's. Wolf - remember - was the Washington Bureau Chief of the Jerusalem Post, before he signed on with CNN to work 80 hours a day. Ummm... I'm so sick of his face, I could just scream. You know, people e-mail me and say "What do you mean, he's a former German U-Boat commander?" Look - if you don't get it, you don't get it. But every movie made in the 40's about the German U-Boats had a guy who looked just like Wolf Blitzer. And his name is, um... German." --Mike Malloy
“Mr. President, haven't you been watching the news? Katrina hit New Orleans five days ago. The city is flooded. Many people are homeless, desperate for food and water. They're wondering why it's taking so long for the government to send help.” --Wolf Blitzer
