That's the real McCoy...hopefully they've got some time to respond.
CNN who were the only ones reporting it, say 7.2. MSNBC couldn't stop Chrissy from bashing Bush long enough to report it, and CNN went right back to their smears.
Geez, don't his arms get tired?

Isn't President Bush headed over that way?
I'm proud to be an EX-scientologist.
Top THAT!
6.9? 7.2??
God Bless the affected...
LOL!
Which, based on the location, looks to be nobody. Also not quite big enough to create a large tsunami.
Wolf Blitzer just asked on CNN LIVE whether or not hurricanes and earthquakes are happening due to weather patterns and global warming that scientists are not picking up on.
What a total clueless asshole.
Oh Damn!
