CHICAGO, Feb. 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following commentary was released today by BuzzFlash.com:

Let's see: last week's BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week, Howard Kurtz, was connected to the prior week's Hypocrite, Jeff Gannon/Guckert, and this week's honoree is connected to both of them.

Now, we're not implying that the sartorial CNN star, Wolf Blitzer, had a military studs' romp with Gannon/Guckert while on a "date" to view the moonlit Iwo Jima War Memorial. But boy, Blitzer sure joined Kurtz in going out of their way to make Gannon/Guckert appear to be a victim of an overzealous mob of Internet bloggers and websites like, well, BuzzFlash.

Blitzer, ever the polite one when dealing with a sensitive issue that might blow up in the face of the White House, had Gannon/Guckert on his CNN program. What was Wolf's first question? How about, "Should I call you Jim or Jeff?" And from there the questions got even more soft ball for the GOP shill by day, gay military hooker by night.

You see, Wolf's job is not to analyze the news, it's to accomplish two things for CNN: First, to make sure no hair is out of place on his beard; and second, to protect the White House's flanks at all costs or lose his fat paycheck and D.C. status.

Last week we wrote: "...anyone with half a brain cell realizes that Kurtz's comments are simply damage control bullet points from or for the White House. The blogging world did what the lackey mainstream press will no longer do, expose a story that is at the epicenter of the deceit and propaganda media campaign central to how the Bush Cartel continues to control America."

Anyone want to loan Blitzer half a brain cell? He seems to be missing his.

Actually, Blitzer's no dummy. He just knows that his job is to do public relations for the Bush administration, not pursue any ethical standards in journalism. What do credentials matter when you spend your on-air time trying to cover up the truth rather than exposing it?

Only Wolf knows, our BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

Leslie's hypocrisy knows no bounds.

[Nite Owl]

3. So many to choose from

Their should be a list of permanent members.

[Old and In the Way]

4. Howie and Wolf look at Jim-Jeff and see a cheaper version of themselves.

No wonder it's a rather awkward interview.

5. Excellent choice- blitzer should be on the list for top ten conservative

idiots too.

6. Pat Buchanan could have won too, he was on hardball defending gay

prostituiton. And you think you've seen everything....

[Chipper Chat]

7. I think Pat just came in late, skipped makeup, and wasn't prepped

at all. He had a "latent Crossfire-moment" and dutifully tried to be the counterpoint. I was startled at his take and thought maybe I was looking at Pat's liberal twin.

[DeepModem Mom]

8. kick

[Hugin]

9. Only one mistake.... They should have called him Leslie. ;) n/t
