Check out the Bay News 9 reporterette, as she files her nails this morning, during Salin Palin's rally, in New Port Richey, Florida:


 

We believe that this is probably [!!!] Bay News 9's own Carol Minn Vacca:


 


 

Here is Carol Minn Vacca's official biography at Bay News 9:


 

Carol Minn Vacca - Reporter
http://www.baynews9.com/content/13/2006/5/1/156612.html

Carol began her television career in Macon, Ga., WMAZ TV as an associate producer, later becoming the weekday morning and noon anchor. She later moved further north to Louisville, Ky. As a reporter at WHAS TV, she covered everything from the Kentucky Derby to tornadoes. She was also the weekend anchor during her two years there. A Georgia girl, Carol was ready for warmer winters again, and traded in tornadoes for hurricanes when she joined Bay News 9.

Carol grew up in Atlanta, Ga., where she attended the Georgia Institute of Technology. During her time there, she was named Miss Atlanta. After obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree in international affairs, she joined the gubernatorial campaign staff of former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes as his scheduler. Shortly after, she entered Emory University School of Law. Almost immediately after obtaining her juris doctor degree, she was offered her first television job.

Carol was born in Seoul, Korea, and immigrated to the United States with her family when she was 6 years old. At the time, the only English words she knew were "Coca Cola." Having grown up in the south, she says she feels like she is home here in Tampa Bay. In her spare time, Carol loves anything outdoors, especially running or roller blading and now is enjoying the beaches of Tampa Bay. She also wants to become a better golfer.

Contact The Reporter: E-mail Carol.


 

For those of you who don't know, this is Roy Barnes:

Georgia Supreme Court dismisses Barnes case challenging voter ID

The Georgia Supreme Court on June 12, 2007 unanimously dismissed a legal challenge to the state's voter ID law. Former Gov. Roy Barnes, argued before the court earlier this year that the voter ID law was unconstitutional because Ms. Lake the plantifff and others did not have driver's licenses and were therefore excluded in a discriminatory manner...

First of all, if by some chance this is NOT Carol Minn Vacca, then we wish to extend our apologies to her beforehand.

Also, the original photo was a little dark and grainy - note that the photo displayed here was run through some software so as to brighten it up just a little.

There was a Fox News reporter doing her hair during Obama’s speech.

She sure looked bored. Maybe the rally didn’t start yet. I saw some people texting in the front row during Obama speech on TV. Who knows maybe she has heard it a hundred times and knows it. We can’t say what the problem is with a picture as much as FREEPERS love to do that.

My experience with these people: They are stuck on themselves and totally self-absorbed.

So, a reporter was doing her nails while a speech was going on, and most eyes were upon the speaker, not upon her? BFD! Where does it say everyone must stand at attention during anyone’s speech?

I am sure when she does her reporting on television, many of her viewers are doing the same.

TV reporting is Hollywood for ugly people.

I am married to a reporter. They do this stuff every day. Day in, day out. Generally speaking, the job of a TV reporter on an assignment like this is “hurry up and wait.” They are not going to listen to the speech over and over. They are going to look at their phone, check their hair, text their friends, and file their nails.

Think about what you might do during a boring meeting or conference call at work. Why would you expect the reporters to be any different.

Do read “anti” Palin, read “bored” reporter.
