Yep...I have seen Berg quite a few times since yesterday as well. IMHO...he is getting as much MSM face time as possible...just like Sheehan...to get publicity for his own causes (running for a political office in Berg's case)...and they both make me ill because they are getting this MSM time based on the deaths of their children.
WILMINGTON -- Long before the sun came up Thursday, Michael Berg began answering the same question he would be asked all day long: What does he think of the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi?
Berg, 61, is the father of Nicholas Berg, whose beheading by al-Zarqawi's soldiers May 7, 2004, was depicted in a graphic and widely distributed video. A year after their son's death, Berg and his wife, Suzanne, moved to Wilmington from West Chester, Pa.
Berg's personal connection to al-Zarqawi put him in high demand with reporters Thursday morning. They found him at the Ninth Ward home of his congressional campaign manager, John Atkeison.
By 9 a.m., television crews were milling around Atkeison's front porch, their satellite trucks idling on the narrow streets. Orange electrical cords snaked across the sidewalk, up the concrete steps, under the aluminum screen door and into Atkeison's house.
If they didn't know Berg, his comments may have surprised them.
Inside, Berg stood in front of Atkeison's bookcase, where one of his campaign posters was taped to a shelf lined with books about global climate change, spirituality and politics. Berg had been talking to reporters since one awakened him at 4:37 a.m. with a phone call to tell him of al-Zarqawi's death.
As he talks, campaign helper Madeline Perri arrives with bags of bagels, napkins and coffee cups. Her job, she explains, is to keep everyone fed.
" Atkeison steps onto his tiny front porch where reporters and their crews have set up cameras and microphones for Berg's next appearance. He tapes a campaign sign on the pillar behind the spot where Berg is supposed to stand.
"This has to be in every shot or you're going to be cut off," Atkeison tells the crews. "Everybody clear? And I'm going to be checking."...
"...and they both make me ill because they are getting this MSM time based on the deaths of their children."
Sad DITTO to that.
