1. Is your name Pat Collins?
What an asshole that guy is. He'll shove a mike in the face of a grieving mother and ask idiotic questions like "how do you feel" and when he's told "leave me alone" he persists.

So, is that what an ambush reporter is?

Plus he is just an idiot and an asshole. If I could describe his reporting style, I would, but it defies description.

2. Yeah. He's pretty annoying.
He also is annoying in a ham-it-up overly dramatic speaking style.

5. Bertha Venation, you've been accused of mentioning Pat Collins name to draw attention to Pat Collins
Edited on Wed Aug-05-09 01:46 PM by Tommy_Carcetti
Before that, most of the people on this board never knew who Pat Collins was. Now we all do.

How can you sleep at night?

15. I see. I watch channel 11 (NBC) out of Baltimore.
I used to watch channel 7 with Leon Harris, but I was more interested in Maryland news, than DC news.

4. PVnRT, you've been accused of providing the aborted fetuses to be molested.
Isn't that a bit disturbing?
What do you have to say for yourself?

8. KamaAina, you've repeated made Family Guy references in the public forum....
.....regardless of whether or not people actually watch Family Guy. Isn't that being rather exclusive against non-Family Guy fans? What type of world do you expect us to live in that is divided between Family Guy fans and non-fans?

7. Are you going to eat those pickles?
Inquiring minds want to know.

9. Dr. Strange, your pickle fetish is disturbing and frightening...
...especially as it relates to our children and seniors. The only thing more disturbing would be if you wrote long twisted short stories regarding turtles having sex with shoes, which several sources claim you have done. How can you expect to function in society if you are out in public snatching pickles for your own deviant purposes?

12. TZ, your avatar indicates you have poor judgment when it comes to sports teams...
...last night's 6-4 upset notwithstanding. Should you be allowed to openly voice your appreciation for teh suck like that? Is your fan dom of the Washington Natinals a Stockholm Syndrome type phenomenon, the result of being trapped within a city filled with perilous one way streets and traffic circles? Are you truly fit for society?
