It all went to hell when they let that phoney Gregg Jarrett on.
Lemme give you an example of just how phoney this guy is.
On April 26 1991 we had a severe outbreak of tornados in Kansas. Jarrett was a local TV reporter here in Wichita.
Some may remember the Andover tornado and some may remember a scene where a reporter and a cameraman, ran up under an overpass along with a man and his two daughters. The man and his two daughters were personal friends of mine. A tornado crossed directly over their spot and it was all caught on film.
After that incident, ol' Gregg rushed back to the studios and went live on the air to report his adventure. The place where the tornado incident happened was roughly 25 miles from the studios, yet ol' Gregg had some well placed smudge marks on his face and his hair "mussed". Out of breath, he rolled film and gave his blow by blow. It was about 3pm.
As if that wasn't phoney enough, at 6 pm when the nightly news came on, there was ol' Gregg, still live, and still disheveled complete with smudge marks and mussed hair and out of breath, as he rolled film and gave us the same blow by blow.

Call me old fashoined, but that seems a bit PHONEY to me.

Jarret is an unashamed LIBERAL. Seems to me that the phonies and the liberals always fit together.

I guess he was in the "Geraldo Rivera Apprentice Program". I switch to the weather channel when Jarrett comes on.

It may be phony, but it recalls how Dan Rather got noticed nationally in the 60's, by pulling a cow out of the mud after a rainstorm. On camera, of course.

Now would Dan try to save a U.S. Marine from an Al-Qaeda cutthroat? Ah, a much more complicated question!
