I think the ratings game (CNN won Super Tuesday) is making them a little excitable these days. Smith jumps down Wolf's throat after she was trying to explain how exciting the Democratic primary has been and made a remark about not holding her nose to vote because both our candidates are so good. Smith cut her off and demanded that she explain herself. Naomi was obviously making a larger point, "we've got a historic candidacy,,," but he had his own agenda. She got frustrated from the interuption and said: Wolf: This is why I love Fox News."

Smith went ballistic.

Smith: No, no, no. That is unfair. You said it, I didn't say it! You said you were holding your nose when you went in the booth, and I asked you when. That's fair. And anybody who doesn't ask you that is not being fair. I'd like an answer please. You did it. Don't you 'Fox' on me. Ever.

She told him that she had a long history with FOX, but that didn't placate ole Shep. He didn't let it go and still went off at the end of the segment.

Smith: "I do know your long relationship with Fox, but I don't think it's fair to just take shots at us because we ask questions. And I think to say that we didn't want to get our babies out of Iraq, last time I checked everyone over there is at least 18...

Hey, Shep....why can't 18 year olds drink in a bar, but die in Iraq?

Can you help us out?
