4. She has been a weekend fixture for some time. She is better than some others,
Edited on Sun May-02-10 04:40 PM by old mark
she mostly reads well and has great hair.

She was talking earlier about people washing sea birds with detergent and how BP was "cleaning up the spill".

I think "airhead" in her case is an understatement.

But she has great hair...

ADDED: Young people, there used to be actual "news programs" and a guy named Walter Cronkite.....

5. You can add..
Don Lemon to that. He interrupts when the conversation is really getting to the meat of the subject. He wastes time talking nonsense..

8. They had a pretty good marine toxicologist on a minute ago.
Talking about the dispersants and how they don't remove anything from the water, just make it mix better with water, which really only means it will impact life that much more quickly.

12. Weekend "Help"
It's bad enough that the Chicken Noodle Nuze "A" team are rank amateurs and corporate shills. They're all nursing their hangovers from last night's drinkie-drinkie party. These are the "B" teamers...one step above cable access by not ready for any major market.

I watched about 20 minutes this morning...knowing what to expect...endless speculation and little real information...and presented by people who know only how to read a teleprompter, when they have to ask questions they look like total fools.

13. Answer - it is Sunday evening, and you are getting neither the A, B, or C teams.
You are getting the dregs, the ones who are willing to show up on Sunday afternoon in mid-Spring. One of the drawbacks of the 24/7/365 "news cycle."

16. At least I can leave the TV on when Fredericka is on by muting it
Candy Crowly? Off it goes.

And BTW, did anybody watch the CNN coverage of the beltway circle jerk last night? Who were the guys anchoring their coverage? The suckiest pair of sycophants I've seen since high school watching all the brown nosers jockeying for position around the teacher's asshole. It was so bad I went out and hosed out the barn instead of watching it.
