OPINION: Wolf Blitzer Out-funnies SNL With His Own “Skit” On CNN

Sometimes you have to watch something to actually believe it.  Below, Wolf Blitzer and crew are all in a tizzy because Saturday Night Live dared to poke fun at Barack Obama on last week’s show.  Enjoy:

Please note that CNN had no problems with any skits featuring Sarah Palin lookalikes or George Bush impersonators.  This reinforces the idea in many quarters, including us here at YBH, that CNN is in the tank for Obama and the Democrats. 

How can any rational media watcher put forth that FOX is some kind of right wing water carrier, yet CNN is the ombudsman of truth?  If you want to argue that each is partisan to their own cause, I can live with that.

CNN has gone down hill lately.  The above video eclipses CNN’s all time low set earlier this year with Anderson Cooper’s hysterics over tea bagging Republicans.

The question is: will SNL address CNN’s BS story on next week’s show?  Whether they do or not I fear that any future skits about Barack Obama will be incredibly mild on SNL.
