Get out of the rain, you moron!
CNN has two anchors outside in South Florida, in the standard issue CNN ponchos, in the rain and wind and general nastiness. In the background, you see people running for shelter, and these idiots just stand there talking about how hard it's raining and how windy it's getting, and how hard it's about to start raining as they stand there. It's not so bad right now, but you just know that for as long as they can stand there without being carried off and landing on somebody's roof, they'll be there.

It's enough to make me wonder what they did wrong...

1. I'm waiting for a piece of aluminum to come crashing down,
piercing a body into two. It could happen!

3. Is one of them Anderson Cooper?
Anderson likes to do that crap...show what a "great journalist" he is by being brave and all of that. Unfortunately, it makes him look like an idiot.

4. Switch to the Weather Channel,
and you will see Jim Cantore. That moran goes to every storm and stands there for hours.

5. No.
This isn't nearly serious enough of a storm to merit "real" journalism. They just trot out some dispensable weatherman, so that when that sheet of aluminum does come crashing down, they don't lose anybody "important".
