SUMMARY: During his interview with Virginia Democratic Senate candidate James Webb, CNN's Wolf Blitzer repeatedly pressed Webb about his position on women serving in combat and a 1979 article, in which he wrote that a U.S. Naval Academy* residence hall is a "horny woman's dream." By contrast, during his interview with Webb's Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. George Allen, Blitzer did not press Allen on his "aspersions" or "macaca" comments.
