CNN's Blitzer Crusades Against Sarah Palin

CNN's Wolf Blitzer appears on a personal crusade to smear Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Today, he spent hour after hour returning to a story about Palin's 17-year-old daughter and suggesting her situation somehow means Palin is a flawed candidate.

While MSNBC and Fox News, for the most part, focused on Hurricane Gustav and the Republican convention in Minnesota, Blitzer returned again and again to Palin, repeating himself over and over and insisting that a bewildered floor reporter and guests discuss the issue.

Conservative Republican Bill Bennett told Blitzer the topic didn't deserve discussion on CNN, but Blitzer blew him off and continued to press the issue. Even hardcore Democrat James Carville indicated he didn't believe it worthy of discussion, but Blitzer again persisted.
