the water was deeper down the street but that her producers didn't want to let her go there

Blame it on the producers.

Yeah, THAT's a good career move...

Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki

Freepers?

Fake but accurate?

LOL. Ooops. And thanks for the information on the "scripted" video conference. If I was going to be in national tv with the President, I would hope and pray that someone would give me a heads up on some questions so I wouldn't sound like a compete idiot and a few tips on conducting a televised dialogue. They are making even greater fools of themselves with this nonsense.

LOL. We'll probably never know who they were or why they chose that moment. But I have a theory.

As mentioned, Kosinski comes across like a big self-promoter and scene-stealer. Yesterday she turned up in hip waders, and tried to outdo herself this morning with the canoe stunt.P>I can imagine that she forced her producers and crew to go ahead with the stunt, against their wishes.

So perhaps to extract revenge, some guys from the crew, or locals the crew recruited, decided to "rain on Michelle's parade" so to speak, by revealing the fraud.

LOL. I guess we can expect Dan Rather to steal Michelle away from Today!

Workplace accidents. I.E.D.'s, Internal Enemies Devices, blow up in their faces.

But there was no indication, or even allegation, that the soldiers were coached as to the substance of their comments or in any way instructed what to say.

Well, there were certainly "allegations" flying furiously last night -- and that on Fox. I figured it would turn out to be something like what you describe (shades of the Thanksgiving turkey!).

Incredibly, Michelle doesn't seem to have learned.

In the 8 AM news roundup, Michelle was once again out there in her canoe. She emphasized that she was now in "deep" water, 3-4 feet deep, or "up to your waist." But it really seems her producers hate her, because in the background, a man was shown walking down the street, and once again, the water was no more than shoe-top high!
