WASHINGTON, D.C. – During a game of Truth or Dare at a slumber party held at the home of Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer of CNN finally admitted what his closest friends had suspected for some time.

Blitzer wants to date President Obama.

“My mom was the only person who knew,” admitted Blitzer. “She and I tell each other everything. We’re really close.”

Though they had suspected the unholy man crush for some time, it wasn’t until Blitzer jumped to Obama’s defense after Saturday Night Live portrayed him as a lazy, do-nothing president did his friends and colleagues decide to press Blitzer for the truth.

“SNL had been making fun of Bush and Palin and McCain for ages, but you never heard a peep from Wolf,” noted CNN’s Larry King. “Then they poke fun at Obama, and he erupts in anger. It was so totally obvious.”

After a few ideas had been thrown back and forth, one of them involving stealing his diary out of his locker, Blitzer’s friends settled on a plan for getting him to reveal his feelings.

“A game of Truth or Dare at our weekly slumber party seemed like a fool-proof way to get the secret out of him,” said Lou Dobbs of CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight.

“And to make sure he’d choose ‘truth’ when it was his turn, we dared Larry King to take off his adult diaper,” added Cooper.

“In hindsight, it was a poor decision on my part. Larry ruined a $5,000 rug I’d just bought. Still, the plan worked. Blitzer chose ‘truth’ when it was his turn without hesitation.”

With his secret out in the open, Blitzer initially blushed with embarrassment. However, after a few moments his insecurities vanished and he delighted in the knowledge he no longer had to hide his feelings.

“I touched his hand once,” squeeled Blitzer as Anderson and Dobbs giggled hysterically.
