Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

An Old Warhorse on the Auction Block

Wolf Blitzer will be on location January 20, but this time he won't be gathering news. His target: moolah, and lots of it. We hear that he'll be on hand in Scottsdale, Ariz., to help auction off the CNN wartime Hummer dubbed "Warrior One" at the famed Barrett-Jackson auction. The 1993 H1 is a beaut: After its Baghdad duty, it was totally redone by TV's Overhaulin' crew. The winnings will be given to Fisher House, which provides lodging to families of injured military personnel. How much will it go for? "Hopefully, lots," says a CNN spokeswoman.
