he was such a venomous *itch.

I think venomous is too strong. I would say angry, arrogant and partisan.

Oh so sorry.

Link: The Daily Show clip show Roesgen hamming it up pretending to work on the levee at Fargo. At the end she wipes her hands and Stewart says, "I can't believe these extras think the cameras are still rolling!" Use your cursor to skip ahead to about 1:25!

This article seems to be wrong. I just sent an email to susan.roesgen@turner.com

I believe that CNN re-activated Roesgen's email sometime over the night. It was clearly not working at least at 6:00 pm yesterday, as I tried to send her an email myself, and received an error message from Turner's server.

Then later that night, I saw the story from Newsbusters and new that mine wasn't an isolated incident. I tried sending another email around midnight EST and it still didn't work. I'm guessing that the other two people who are listed in the Newsbusters story received a large number of emails. That probably compelled the powers-that-be to turn Roesgen's email account back on.
