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.

True. But what is most infuriating to me is that these MSM liars know they are making it up. When truly stupid people make mistakes, I can forgive. These stinking baldwins are motivated by their evil desire to bring down this nation.

"Soledad loosely translates as "solitude". "
Actually it means sun city. There is a city called Soledad in Columbia and one in California.

I had been wondering if she was married to Miles.
Thanks for the post clearing that up.

OK, I am stumped. Where is the humor or stupidity in the graphic. I am always up for a good "Where is Waldo" hunt.

I suppose she's talked with some of those beheaded in Baghdad? I guess you could (if you are dumb as dirt) think the beheaded people had it better as they aren't hungry or thirsty and aren't in the least worried about their private property. Where do these ditz's come from?

Did Switzerland take over Czechoslovakia? ROFL, I knew something was up but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks.

It's a wonderful catharsis. As that dull machete takes what seems like eons to severe skin, tendon, bone, and especially nerve, you can spend the next minute or so silently exonerating your killers while cursing Bush for driving them to commit such a depraved act.

She probably meant those "vets" on the wrong side of the wire at GTMO.

Soledad failed to provide any names or other sources for her statements ~ presumably she was making it up on the spot.
This is the Dan Rather school of journalism BTW. You can never trust these people.

Soledad is Stuck on Stupid So much hyperbole and verborrhea from her... it's unbelievable, and most definitely irresponsible.
