a staged news event gone awry.

up the creek

out to embarrass bush over alleged video stunt, today gets caught in stunt of its own

“..paddling in the ankle deep “flood waters”. Wildly amusing in the sense that the idiot reporter got caught on live TV proving herself an idiot, but incredibly annoying in the sense that she was trying to make her viewers think things were a lot worse than they actually were.”

“Take note of her last sentence,..”it’s really tough to control a canoe or boat when you’re out in it.” Uhhhh yeah, I’ve heard those ankle-deep floods have quite a deadly current! Which is why she didn’t notice the guys splash by her boat while she was performing her little skit - it was tough controlling her little canoe!”

“..It’s not like we were trying to pass it off as something it wasn’t, spokeswoman Lauren Kapp said.

“..highly ambitious - young reporter Michelle Kosinski has been on the scene for Today in New Jersey, working the story. In an apparent effort to draw attention to herself..
this morning she appeared on a suburban street . . . paddling a canoe. There was one small problem. Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki . . . and the water barely covered their shoe tops! That’s right, Kosinski’s canoe was in no more than four to six inches of water!”

“..Michelle Kosinski yesterday accused Bush of staging his video conference with the troops in Iraq.
She, in turn, found herself, er, up a creek.”

“..I want to know who our two heroes were that exposed her.

What is especially sweet is that they lead into that “report” complaining that Bush staged an interview with troops in Iraq.”
