America's Best Political Team

Raised by wolves...Nursed to adolescence by coyotes...Trusted by America.

What do you get when you combine raw canine ferocity with the inability to speak in more than one tone? Great journalism. That was CNN's thought process when they hired Wolf Blitzer in 1990. While most viewers of his show believe Blitzer to be relatively subdued in nature, it is a little known fact that CNN producers actually tranquilize him before every taping. This is in order to prevent a repeat of the infamous 1994 episode when Blitzer bit actor Gene Hackman's ankle during an interview, and then buried a bone in the CNN studios.

Wolf Blitzer will be signing copies of his biography, "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling, at the Union Square Barnes & Noble on Monday, April 7, 2008. All proceeds will benefit Wolf Blitzer's voracious appetite for medium-rare venison.
