CNN's "American Morning" host Soledad O'Brien said Tuesday that Hurricane Katrina evacuees housed at the Superdome were worse off than beheading victims in Baghdad.
The normally mild-mannered newswoman offered the overwrought observation while speaking at Redbook Magazine's "Movers and Shakers" awards luncheon in New York.
According to the New York Daily News, O'Brien blurted out:
"It is a sad thing to watch military veterans cry as they tell you the beheadings in Baghdad were less horrific than what they saw as 30,000 people marched from the Superdome through a shopping mall and onto buses to who knows where."
Ms. O'Brien didn't identify the veterans who told her that Katrina victims would have been better off being beheaded.

Obvious you haven't been here long. Will see dozens of Associate Press stories posted here every day with headlines that make this one look like a weak effort. Best one to date was the the story how Iraq War effort supposedly crippled the NG Katerina response despite the fact the very quotes the from the NG generals said EXACTLY the opposite. When that was pointed out to AP they merely dropped the quotes and had the AP writer attribute their spin lie as coming from the Generals rather then retract the story.

In English, Soledad means "Not a single functioning synapse"
Sniff=Ironical. I am claiming first in for the Zot.
Funny, the Left would have liked that sign in the first gulf war. Now they cling to CNN.
"I think she is cute--"
Doesn't take much to please some folks-- looks like another 'rat' pig to me-

Maybe CNN will play an unedited tape of a few beheadings and
let us decide for ourselves... personally I would rather go a couple days without food and water than get my head cut off by some thugs yellin' allah akbar, but thats just me.
See the vacant smile, the wind blowing through her ears that gently brushes her hair back ~ the woman is an AIRHEAD.
What a dingbat she is!
To All-
pardon the double post---
Welcome to FR.
just let 'em keep talking.
Soledad loosely translates as "solitude". I would imagine her liberal mind and loose emotional state, along with a case of halitosis, counteracts her physical attributes, resulting in no-man-itis.
Yuck!

Hey Soledad...........you are STUCK ON STUPID!!
