The CNN anchor took the Big Apple by storm yesterday to talk at a Reuters event held in his honor. Sources tell Big Head DC that after the event, Blitzer was seen at a popular local bar, waxing poetic about the good ole days he spent at the news wire service. And his lips became a little loose about his tenure at CNN. 

“The Situation Room is getting stale,” he told those at his table, between sips of an unidentified beverage. “But we’ve got some surprises coming down the pike.”

He also said that he was dismayed, but not surprised, by Dick Cheney’s recent on-air scolding of him for asking about Mary Cheney’s pregnancy.

Blitzer has not yet responded to requests for comment.
