I did catch that, and was astounded that after the fiasco of the first half hour, Today would again show her out there in the canoe. I have a feeling that she knew how badly her reputation had been damaged by the first segment, and lobbied hard to be allowed out again to "prove" how deep the water really was.
But as you pointed out, that guy walking in the background in water barely up to his ankles gave the game away again. Priceless!
Wondering how bad her career is hurt by this?
I was watching when it aired the first time. It looked dark and deep till the two guys showed up. The first thing I thought was dang, how tall are these guys?
Then my eyes travelled down to their feet which were barely ankle deep about the time they crossed the middle of the screen. By the time the were moving off to my right I was sputtering out loud because the water was not even covering the tops of their boots.
I was already half PO'ed from watching another of Couric's transparent slams on Bush, re: coached soldiers that didn't include any coaching video.
Well, needless to say this maroon now had my full attention (I keep a TV on while working on the PC in case AQ tries something new) and the next words out of her mouth were, 'What's really scary about this water is how fast it's moving".
This, as she stops paddling and grinds to a complete halt on the mirror smooth surface.
That was it for me, I hit the power button and let the terrorists have whatever they could take.
