I didn't watch much news today, but I was really interested to hear how vociferously our beloved Democratic leaders were opposing the Alito confirmation, so I tuned in the late hour of CNN's Situation Room (transcript). If you were paying attention to any news around that time, I'm sure you know the top story was the air strike in Pakistan that was alleged to have killed Ayman Al-Zawahiri, maybe... but that's unconfirmed. Wolf Blitzer spent the first segment of the show talking about nothing else. He conferred with a couple CNN correspondents that had nothing substantial to add other than that if Zawahiri were dead it would be a good thing... but that's unconfirmed. Oh yeah, they played the same clip of rubble and a dead cow about sixteen times, maybe more.
