THIS IS A RUSH FDCH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.<\/p>\n

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: I also want to let our viewers know we’re
\ngoing to be doing something rather extraordinary in the next few
\nminutes. We’ve ordered an exterior shot of the Mall from way up in
\nspace. A satellite image will take a picture of what’s happening here
\nin Washington, D.C. GeoEye 6 satellite, to be precise. We’re going to
\nget the view from space. We’re going to turn that picture around as
\nquickly as we can, and you’re going to see what this would look like if
\nyou were flying overhead from space, from a satellite. It’s going to
\nbe, Anderson, a pretty amazing shot. I don’t think –<\/p>\n

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: How do you work up a satellite?<\/p>\n

BLITZER: David Bohrman, our Washington bureau chief…<\/p>\n

COOPER: If anyone knows how to call up a satellite, it’s David Bohrman.<\/p>\n

BLITZER: … does that. He just makes a phone call. He says, get me
\nthe picture from that satellite. And we’re going to show it to our
\nviewers in the United States and around the world. We try, as all of
\nour viewers by now know, to do some unusual, extraordinary
\ntechnological –<\/p>\n

COOPER: Hopefully, there won’t be clouds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CNN “Tries to do” Unusual, Extraordinary Technology!<\/b><\/p>\n

Also, Barack Obama is the President of the United States<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

No one cares, CNN, no-one-cares. Actually, I was going to send an e mail to Ionarts<\/a> in D.C. this morning about the new H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Grimaud Bach album<\/a> I’m working on, but figured, better wait on that: no one cares about Bach today either!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
