Hey, isn’t that… CNN host Wolf Blitzer and his boss, network president Jeff Zucker, raising a glass at Georgetown hotspot Cafe Milano on Wednesday night? Turns out, there was reason the celebrate —  the TV honchos were toasting the 10-year anniversary of Blitzer’s “Situation Room,” with a group of the show’s employees.
