At last night's debate, Wolf Blitzer of CNN outrageously lied when he asked Mitt Romney this:
"Governor Romney, the few times and I think it was only once, that they experimented with self-deportation, only a handful of individuals voluntarily left. What makes you think that -- that program could work?"
The fact of the matter is that illegal aliens do self-deport and have been doing so for...
... and Rick Santorum.
MODERATOR: Wolf Blitzer
TRANSCRIPT: When available.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: For a preview of this debate, see debates. As with all the rest, this debate will feature weak, superficial questions and few follow-ups. Any immigration ideas the candidates present will be flawed, and the moderators won't press them on their actual policies but instead will concentrate on gotcha....
... Washington DC. It will be moderated by Wolf Blitzer and is being held in conjunction with the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. The horse race starts at 8pm Eastern.

... from Kentucky, Rand Paul told Wolf Blitzer the following (video below and at peekURL.com/vufapvr ):
PAUL: I would say that they must be in favor of a second American depression, because if you raise taxes to that consequence, that's what will happen in this country.

... tonight's Celebrity Jeopardy, Wolf Blitzer squared off with Andy Richter and Dana Delaney. And, Blitzer got completely, absolutely p0wned, ending up with negative $4000 at the end of Double Jeopardy. Richter trounced his two competitors and at the end of the game ended up with $68,000. Unfortunately, rather than forcing him to suffer the ignominious defeat he so richly deserves, they gave...
