Sky New blows too, if you ask me.

Early Sunday morning (2 or 3 AM?) I was watching the Marine skirmish at the seaport, and the Sky News embedded reporter was building it up like it was "The Battle of the Bulge".

There were two U.S. tanks pouring fire into a building holding about 120 Iraqis with small arms and the Sky News guy was saying that the Marines were "pinned down". This was after the Iraqi commander (in plain clothing) had surrendered himself to the Marines, rather than be annihilated with his men.

They cut the commentary from the field and tossed to Colonel Hunt who cut loose over the Sky reporter's commentary.

"This guy has to stop drinking whatever is in his water. Those Marines are not pinned down. That's a load of crap!!! They are on their bellies in a proper defensive posture. One of the officers is walking around upright for Heaven's sake. What you have is 120 Iraqis filling up the toilets in that building because two tanks are firing on them at point blank range. What a load of crap!!!"

I was wetting my pants.

Colonel Hunt is a great guy to have on there, but he's made more loose bowel jokes in a day than Howard Stern has in a career.

Col. Hunt can be a hoot. They were showing a close up side view of an M-1 Abrams tank rolling along the desert at about 50 mph, being videotaped by the Fox embedded reporter. The anchorette in the studio asked Col. Hunt to tell the viewer what was being shown, and Col. Hunt said, "That's a helicopter."
