Oh, my! An epic zinger from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer! Remember, as Twitchy reported, Al “Chakras” Gore blamed Obama’s abysmal debate performance in Denver on the altitude. No, really! That, of course, led to comedy gold in the form of #GoreExcusedForBiden. And this morning, Wolf Blitzer got in on the comedy action, asking “Has anyone checked the altitude for tomorrow’s debate?”
Some didn’t get the joke.

@wolfblitzer @BarackObama @MittRomney What a question; is altitude a significant factor for the participants?

They are slipping. Fox News? What happened to Faux Noise? Yuk, yuk, yuk!
Good one, Wolf! Injecting a little humor is always appreciated. Unless, of course, one is a bitter and angry liberal.
