John King taking over for Wolf Blitzer on "Late Edition"

By GottaLaff

Substituting the perpetually constipated Wolf "Eats Hard Cheese and Drywall for Breakfast"* Blitzer with Mr. Dana Bash will give my Sunday morning posts a whole new dimension:

CNN is close to making a change of its own with its Sunday program “Late Edition,” installing John King, its chief national correspondent and longtime White House correspondent, in the host role that has been filled for 10 years by Wolf Blitzer.

CNN executives would not comment on the decision but they did not deny that the Sunday move to Mr. King had been discussed. At the same time, Mr. Blitzer is close to signing an extension of his CNN contract that would continue his role as the network’s chief anchor for breaking news and political coverage, an executive who has been briefed on the plans said. [...]

CNN has been considering a change on Sunday for some time, largely because of the extraordinary work load Mr. Blitzer has taken on over the last several years.

Despite his apparent popularity, especially among many womenfolk I've read about, I'm not a fan of King's. His repeated use of Republican talking points is one reason. His lulling me to sleep is another. But I guess John Bash's manipulation of the Big Magic Wall impressed CNN enough to appoint him as the next master of TBPNTOTV!!! I'm all a-quiver with anticipation (sarcasm).

We can only hope the Bash-Kings' relationship will survive such an elevation in status.
