Say good-night, Wolf

I wonder how much Jack Cafferty pays to have Wolf Blitzer feed him straight lines like this?

(Mad, non-prophetic comments in [brackets].)

Media Matters - Cafferty: Hume interviewing Cheney "like Bonnie interviewing Clyde"

From the February 15 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:

BLITZER: First of all, Jack, what did you make of Dick Cheney's interview today? [Well, I can make a hat...or a brooch...or a pterodactyl...]

CAFFERTY: Well, I obviously didn't see it 'cause it hasn't been released in its entirety yet, but I -- I would guess it didn't exactly represent a profile in courage for the vice president to wander over there to the F-word network [hoo boy!] for a sit down with Brit Hume. I mean, that's a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain't it? I mean, where was the news conference? Where was the -- where was the access to all of the members of the media? I don't know. You know? Whatever.

BLITZER: You still think he needs to do a full-scale news conference in front of all of the cameras, all of the reporters, and ask whatever they want? [Heaven forfend! No, duh, Beard. The veep almost killed someone.]

CAFFERTY: That's never going to happen. But, I mean, running over there to the Fox network to -- I mean that's -- talk about seeking a safe haven. He's not going to get any high, hard ones from anybody at the F-word network. I think we know that.
