[Morgana]

Which terrorist organization to cheer for? It's a no-brainer!

Headlines: "Iran blows up CNN, news at 11"

We couldn't possibly be blessed.

[Az Joe]

Did the poofter pee his panties?

[Morgana]

“Did the poofter pee his panties?”

From his reaction in the video it looks like he did both. Should have worn his depends.

[twister881]

“Rule #1: No poofters!”

[Salamander]

Meh.

CNNs Drama Queen

[Pocketdoor]

Sure it’s not fake like the 1991 skit where the guy slaps on a gas mask?

[Zack Attack]

Just had a flashback to Gulf War Desert Storm, Bernard Shaw, Peter Arnett and the Scud missile alerts.

Can’t help but wonder if it is like the hurricane reports from down here, where behind the reporter as he or she appears to be battered by the storm, the locals stroll casually by in flip flops, barely getting wet, hair neatly in place, as they head for Twistee Treat.

Cooper would make a great Bagdad Bob.

[Theophilus]

The CNN star's voice wavered as he asked his crew if it would be possible to continue their broadcast as they evacuated

He's so important that CNN viewers can't miss what hebhas to say on the way to the shelter!

[fruser1]

I’m surprised he didn’t drop his pants, get on all fours, and point his butt towards the incoming direction.

[AndyJackson]

Actually that seems like a fair exchange. We blow up their nuclear facilities which are a useless appendage of their globalist empire fantasies, and they do us the favor of blowing up a useless appendage of one of our globalist imperial fantasies.

My Captain used to say: someday your life may come down to two choices, you can DIP or DWM…(die in place or die while moving) it may be your only choices so make it carefully.

Stand tall Coop, be a proud DIP.

Headlines: "Iran blows up CNN, news at 11"

I wouldn't even be mad at them.

[Charles Martel]

Just had a flashback to Gulf War Desert Storm, Bernard Shaw, Peter Arnett and the Scud missile alerts.

Yeah, same here. There was one live broadcast where the reporter was outside a prepared bomb shelter, reporting live with sirens wailing in the area - and the video feed suddenly went to static. It turned out that CNN's Saudi hosts in that location told the reporter (I forget his name now) several times to take cover, then finally unplugged the camera and tossed him into the shelter.

[Racketeer]

Did he have time to put his high heels on?

[Charles Martel]

I wouldn't even be mad at them.

C'est la guerre!

Bernie pooped his pants ...
