Much more sensitive to criticism than Tim Russert, Wolf recently tried not to look like such a tool when interviewing Vice President Dick Cheney. It didn't go over well, however. His questions about Cheney's lesbian unmarried daughter Mary and observations about Iraq were ignored by the VP, because Blitzer was out of line! His father, Bear Blitzer, was a beat reporter for William Randolph Hearst's family of newspapers in the 1920's.
