Liberal Hall of Shame
The Top 1000 Liberals in America

"Situation Room" host Wolf Blitzer interviewed incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday and continued the fawning media coverage of the liberal Democrat. His gushing tone can best be described by how he closed the interview:

Wolf Blitzer: "Let me just congratulate you and wish you the best of luck. This is going to be an exciting ride. We started off that you are going to be the first woman to be the Speaker of the House. So you have an enormous amount of responsibility that comes with the job, a little bit extra because you're making history."

Nancy Pelosi: "Well, I appreciate your saying that and I think one of my first acts as -- post-election, will be to become a grandmother for the sixth time. We're anxiously awaiting the birth of our grandchild, who is due the first week in November, so a good omen. We get ready for our new grandbaby as we get ready for a new Congress."

Blitzer: "Well, we'll wish you only the best on that front as well."

Pelosi: "As well, thank you. Thank you, Wolf."

From CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Thursday, September 1, 2005, covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: (audiotape on file, emphasis mine)

BLITZER: "You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals, as Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold."

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani: "Why did Barack Obama get a pass on his experience? And why is Sarah Palin’s experience, which from the executive point of view is considerably more than Barack Obama’s, under such scrutiny?"

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: "But who says he’s been getting a pass? He’s been scrutinized for months and months and months."

Giuliani, laughing: "I haven’t seen the scrutiny of his experience or his record."

Blitzer: "Do you read your hometown newspaper, the New York Times?"

Giuliani: "I do....Maybe that’s the problem. I read the New York Times and I haven’t seen much scrutiny of Barack Obama."

Barack Obama Scrutinized? Ha!
