Bill Hemmer, Here's Your Sign

[meegbear]

On yesterday's America's Newsroom (July 7, 2008), co-host Bill Hemmer interviewed Kent Couch, the man who flew from Oregon to Idaho in a helium balloon-powered lawn chair. During the interview Hemmer asked Couch about the dangers of lawn chair flying, "This is kinda dangerous, isn't it Kent? I mean – mean one wrong move, man, and there's nothing to help you, is there?" Couch said simply, "Parachute. They seem to work pretty good." "Have you ever used it?" asked Hemmer. Couch replied, "Yeah I did on the first one." Then, out of Bill Hemmer's mouth came one of the worst questions ever. Hemmer asked Couch, "And did it save your life?" With video.

Comment: This is a missed opportunity. What Kent Couch should have said was, "Nope, I died that day. You've been interviewing a ghost. Here's Your Sign."

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

10. Did you mean apparition...or was that a pun? If it was a pun,

it was an excellent one.

[Eurobabe]

13. then it was a pun

3. Bwhahahahahaha!

What a moran.

It's amazing they let someone so idiotic within 100 feet of a live camera.

Idiocy rewarded with a big paycheck. Go figure.

6. He And Daryn Kagan Were Insufferable On Chicken Noodle News

Rumor had it that the two were making their own headlines on the side...even while Kagan was playing Beard to Rushbo. The dude is the prototypical bobblehead...what he has in looks, he loses in brains or common sense.

But then how come I suspect Hemmer wasn't the only viewer of that cesspool wondering that question. :rofl:

11. there was plenty of room for improvement--just not showing yet

7. If Hemmer ever had a kid with Contessa Brewer, they'd create a new subspecies.

The missing link.

God, he's stupid, and she's stupid squared.

[BlueJac]

8. Hemmer always has been an idiot.

[Greyskye]

9. Maybe Hemmer had been huffing helium

12. As far as that "Here's your sigh" (for being stupid) thing goes

When I worked at Subway making sandwiches in high school, you wouldn't believe the number of people who came in and asked, "How long's a footlong sandwich?"
