Wolf Blitzer, who has been the screenface for CNN losing all credibility over the past few years, met himself a gracious atheist who tried twice to let Blitzer’s damfool butt off the hook.  But, noooo ….

Wolf Blitzer put his foot in his mouth for a moment on Tuesday while interviewing a survivor of the devastating tornado in Moore, Okla.

“We’re happy you’re here. You guys did a great job,” Blitzer said to Rebecca Vitsmun, who escaped from her house with her 19-month-old son right before the twister tore through it. “You’ve gotta thank the Lord, right? Do you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?”

Vitsmun hesitates for a moment and smiles. “I — I’m actually an atheist,” she said, laughing off the awkward moment.

And who should she thank for her flattened house behind her, Wolf?

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
