Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) November 06, 2012Heh. As Twitchy has reported, actor Rob Lowe holds lapdog feet to the fire. He often does so with good-natured ribbing. Last night was no exception. He joined other Twitter users in relieving some election night stress by mocking Wolf Blitzer and his trademark Captain Obvious commentary.
Wolf Blitzer is king of the obvious—

If Obama wins, the Empire State Building will be blue. If Romney wins, red. And whenever Wolf Blitzer states the obvious, a hologram weeps.—

Wolf Blitzer: "The contests we expect to be close ARE GOING TO BE CLOSE." Really, Capt. Obvious?—

Wolf Blitzer gets me all excited that he is going to make a big projection and then he tells me the obvious.—

Gotta love how suspenseful Wolf Blitzer sounds as he calls the results of obvious non-swing states. #CNNElection #USelection—
David Ros (@david_ros) November 07, 2012
Wolf Blitzer's excitement when he states the obvious is so unnecessary. Yeah, like we really expected the POTUS to win Georgia :-/—

Love how Wolf Blitzer makes you wait in suspense for the obvious: "As of now, we cannot project Alabama and Mississippi." #election2012—
Dave Zbaracki (@davezbaracki) November 07, 2012
From now on, I am going to start saying "I am going to make a major prediction" & then say something obvious. I call it the Wolf Blitzer. TM—

And a buzzkill.
Someone tell Wolf Blitzer to stop saying obvious shit.—

Come, now: What fun would that have been?
Rob Lowe wrapped up his election night tweeting with a gracious thought.
Now we come together. It is time for our leaders to lead. We will do our part, if they will do theirs.—
Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) November 07, 2012
One thing is for sure: We can all come together to mock Captain Obvious! So, there’s that.
