Bet she’s not the only CNN employee to be drinking heavily with their disastrous ratings. When will their sponsors realize that they aren’t selling much to people in airports?

Born in Boston, Damon graduated with honors from Robert College in Istanbul, Turkey in 1994, where her father, Dr. George H. Damon, Jr., was a teacher and middle school director from 1988 to 1998. An American, her father went from there to Isıkkent School in Izmir, and was then headmaster of the American Community School at Beirut from 2003 until his retirement in 2013.[7] Damon's mother, Joumana, is Syrian and grew up in Damascus.[8] Damon is the granddaughter of Muhsin al-Barazi, the former Syrian Kurd prime minister of Syria, who was executed in the 1949 military coup.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arwa_Damon

A far cry from Lynne Russell of the CNN 80's.

Classy Hottie.

“I want to extent [sic] my sincerest apologies and deepest gratitude to all that were involved in helping me out,” the letter reads.

Some journalist! Can't even spell!

“It’s been an extremely stressful time, I was exhausted, I had not had proper food all day and clearly miscalculated how my body would handle the alcohol consumed.”

Note the clever use of the passive ("...the alcohol consumed") rather than the active voice ("...the vast quantities of alcohol I guzzled down.")

Regards,

I’d drink heavily if I worked for CNN.

Seems to there are a lot of “journ-O-list that drink heavily and not just the left wing news organizations....

Maybe the fact that they are paid liars and tools of a agenda driven media complex that drives them to the bottle...

Makes you wonder how many are hooked on meds as well...

I’m surprised people like Jay Carney aren’t in a psych ward...

O’ wait you have to have a moral compass and the alibity to experiance shame first...he doesn’t qualify....

A friend of mine is an EMT, and she has a technique for dealing with really nasty patients: she threatens to use the largest caliper needle on them.

30 or 40 years ago, you couldn’t be a journalist unless you drank heavily.

The mistake here is expecting anything better from a journalist. The vast majority are low life libs who want the job so they can push their agenda down our throats.

Modern journalists must think that if they drink like Hemingway they will write like Hemingway.

” stressful time.. I was exhausted”
+++++++
Let’s hope she wasn’t stressed out and exhausted from a trip to Africa to cover the Ebola story.

Do the people she bit have to take the rabies shot now?

Even attractive people can behave like snarling dogs. Pretty but mean as a junkyard dog.

"She's so prrreeetttty....my, oh, my." The guys drool.

Cue bid: how she behaves in anger shows who she REALLY is.

This gives new meaning to the snarl: "BITE ME!!"

Lol.
