CNN is even worse. I was watching their Inside Politics while at the gym and they spent the whole half hour analyzing her comments from today and the prospects for her campaign. They had four outside 'analysts' to offer their views; one Democratic consultant, two elected Democrats and Ed Koch the former Democratic mayor of New York. All this after Wolf Blitzer had already spent 5 minutes gushing over her. I rarely watch CNN anymore but I can see why people refer to it as the Clinton News Network.

Yeah, that stuff just cracks me up. You realize that she wants to be President of the United States, right? I probably won't vote for her, to be honest. I saw the reply to your post that mentioned Wolf Blitzer. The absolute funniest news thing I have ever seen in my entire life was back in the Gulf War. I happened to be watching somebody else's TV one night, and there was Wolf Blitzer, live from Baghdad or however you spell it. That's right. Wolf Blitzer, in Baghdad, reporting live on the American bombs being dropped on his way stupid butt. I was sitting in a comfortable chair, watching a live feed of this moron under a desk in Baghdad. Just amazing to me that anybody would be that friggin' dumb. And he was paid to do it! The second funniest thing was a live press conference from Saudi Arabia with General Schwarzkopf, where some woman reporter actually asked him what the plans were for the United States military forces for "tomorrow". I mean this woman actually asked him that in a live televised news conference. I blew my beverage out my nose. He handled it pretty well, he didn't laugh or anything.
