4. That's what the lady told Anderson Cooper
She said people started swinging, she grabbed her kids and got out. She saw the SUV with the governor in it leaving.

6. The Governor's proclaimed miracle didn't happen
and he skipped out. He didn't want to be punched out.

9. Disgraceful mess
and Hatfield is praising the benefit package that his company can offer future miners.
This is a sad reflection on this country. "Come work at our company, yeah there's a good chance that you will die underground, but what other options do your broke ass have in this town. Plus we have good benefits for your future widow!"
Disgraceful!!!!!

A statement and an apology is the least he can do.

12. Gov on now

15. Well, he also said that he heard the guy at the press conference
And that he agrees that no one should be blamed for the wrong information going out. The damn company knew within 20 minutes that the info was wrong. If he says miracle one more time....

16. Yes, it's so much drivel.
Why can't anyone just tell the friggin truth? Surely he knows by now what the case really is.

21. What broad?
Rita or his press secretary? I've been watching CNN. I can't stand Anderson, but Rita physically makes me sick.

Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
