As they were breaking away from the "weird mail truck guy" story, Shep was commenting on how they had gotten the Postal Worker out so easily (right before he broke to...the Bush/Blair conference? can't remember) and referred to them...well, you had to be there..."...uh...are these some kind of MAGICAL policemen there, or what, huh?" (something like that, it was priceless, I'm sure someone remembers it better than I do).

Had to really be there, though. :-) It was the excited energy in his voice. He really made the police sound...*magical*. Hehehe.

Really ...!

I was watching that report - and what Shep was saying was that the police must have done something magical in order to get the hostage out of the truck without FOX cameras seeing the action. I don't see what is so weird about that.

I sent Shep an e-mail during the stand-off and told him that the Robot had a camera and an audio feed on the tip of it and that was why the police were using it to deliver the cell phone - so the police could get a good look inside the truck and verify that the hostage was still alive.

However, I also told Shep that he better not reveal that on the air because if the guy was talking to his family and they were watching FOX, they might alert the guy and freak him out.

Shep replied: "i knew i didn't for that reason"
