A Galveston yahoo
The msnbc reporters are filming someone who is taking pictures of the waves,to which the anchor described the person as a "yahoo". My question is,who are these reporters,whose very presence implies safety,to condescend to these people?:puke:

2. You're right
I'm not saying the person taking the pictures was any too bright,but the disdain from the anchorwoman was unprofessional at best.

3. Screw that reporter
The fact that the reporter was present and able to make that statement means that somehow the reporter was free to make the choice to be there.

My view: If it is possible for even one reporter, one soldier, or any other person with so-called "special" credentials to be present, then any person must have the liberty to decide for themselves whether to be present or not.
