Fox's Shep Smith must be psychic. During wall-to-wall of the balloon boy Shep mused: "I know where I would look for me. I would look under my bed right now."Shep was warm. The kid was hiding in the attic.
Apparently young Falcon's dad, Richard Heene, is a little strange. Is obsessed with aliens and UFOs. Says he wants to meet aliens - on his MySpace page. Has California tax liens. Joseph Culligan's Web of Deception
NYDN TV critic Richard Huff needles cable TV over the overblown coverage: [It] had everything that gives TV journalism a bad name - great pictures and plenty of hot air. For hours, the cable news networks stayed locked on the balloon, which, if the story was true, could have a 6-year-old boy in it. You could say the media frenzy went over in some quarters like a lead balloon...

On his 7 pm newscast, Ol' Shep said something to the effect that if he, when he was 6 years old, did something like this, his daddy would leave him with a "raw behind". There's a joke in there somewhere, but I don't want to go there.
ReplyDeleteIf Richard Heene wants to meet strange aliens, he needs to go on MSNBC and meet the stellar line-up: Matthews the Mercilous, Queen Maddow, and Olbermann the Nut.
