Well, if they stay long enough we’ll find out if Ike is good on a mic. Enjoy, Steven
Not when it’s Campbell Brown. She is not expendable. By Morgoth, if Campbell dies doing one of these stupid stunts, I will take my vengeance on all of you. They can send Glenn Beck to do that shit. Or, better, Larry King, since he’s obviously immortal.
Warning: obscure joke ahead.
I can just hear it now. “Wonnerful, wonnerful,” fading into the distance.
I agree. And now they’re pissed that no one got killed and they just can’t wait for the next big storm so they can do it all over again. And hope.
A Google image search for “Stephanie Abrams” wet didn’t prove to be as helpful as I had hoped.
Fair point. I insist that it’s VERY useless, though. 
I just started reading a book on evolutionary psychology (so I’m full of the zeal of the acolyte so to speak I guess). Anyway, one principle of EP is the “Savanna Principle,” which says that because human brains were formed on the African Savanna 20,000 years ago (and there hasn’t been enough time for us to evolve since then), we only really understand the things that can be understood by your average hunter-gatherer “back in the day.”
So, maybe we wouldn’t really think that the news people knew anything about the hurricane unless we actually saw them standing there in it. There were no Doppler radar systems or satellite tracking in the Savanna, after all. So, if ABC has a guy getting rained on while CBS just has their fancy computers, we feel like ABC really went there and brought the story to us.
He came close. Jon Stewart showed a bit last night (Monday) of Geraldo falling down into flood waters in Texas (I assume). He was soaked and pissed looking.
I will admit I laughed.
I can’t find it–my youtube-fu is poor tonight.
If this link works, the Rivera video will be right here. Luckily, there’s a thread going right now about the same episode, and it’s even better because they ran the footage of Rivera falling after showing a clip of him complaining that Stewart and Colbert got rich by playing videos of old women slipping on ice. If not, it’s at www.dailyshow.com, and look for the Moment of Zen with his name attached.
I was flipping back and forth between TWC and CNN on Saturday morning. The CNN guys had set up behind the guy for TWC.
The three CNN guys were fumbling around on camera, and you can tell they were a bit disoriented. Meanwhile, on The Weather Channel , the reporter sternly warned that being so close to the seawall was VERY DANGEROUS!
Eh, I just think he was jealous. Me, I was hoping to see Anderson Cooper slip and fall into a slick of porta-potty goo.
Anderson Cooper! That’s who that guy was, standing hip-deep in flood water while the other CNN reporters had moved on to the train accident in California on the other half of the screen. “Hey! Look at me! I’m standing in flood water!” Dumbass.
