…as in “big momentum,” we assume?

We didn’t see this scenario play out on CNN for ourselves, but this blogger provides a pretty scathing blow-by-blow of the anchor’s apparently lackluster analysis.

The NY Observer today slams Wolf Blitzer’s CNN debate coverage: “Once the gold standard for all-news television, the Cable News Network used the night to make a convincing argument that it should never again be entrusted with a presidential debate.”

“I watched about the first hour of it and then I thought I was getting stupider, so I turned it off,” said Fox’s Chris Wallace on yesterday’s Fox & Friends regarding the recent Democratic debate on rival network CNN. “I should say ‘even stupider.’ But that’s more a commentary on CNN than it is on the Democrats.”

“What is the reluctance to let one candidate engage another candidate?” FOX anchor Shepard Smith then asked. “It seemed like there was a buzzer going to go off every time things got real.

“FOX, I have to say, I think we’re smarter.” Wallace replied. “We let the guy talk for a minute, at the end of the minute the bell rings, and that’s it. You’ve got a minute and you can do with it what you want. But instead we have Wolf Blitzer every 30 seconds going ‘Okay, okay, okay.’”

Shame, shame, shame on Washington’s own Wolf Blitzer. The CNN anchor has failed to appear on Ellen DeGeneres’ program to date (despite repeated overtures from her), but, thankfully, the daytime funny lady isn’t holding his snub against our fair city.

Ellen said on today’s program that yesterday’s show–which featured Ballou High School marching-band director Darrell Watson and his students performing “I Love the Way You Move”–was one of her all-time favorites.

And after Ellen’s promotion of a new documentary focused on Watson’s nationally ranked band from an exceptionally crime-ridden neighborhood in DC, the White House has decided to hold a screening in front of George and Laura Bush.

Wolf, get on a damn plane. She’s worth it.
