WTF? There have been like 100 tornadoes this season. Why is this particular tornado newsworthy?
Posted by: Becky | May 24, 2008 4:36:30 PM
My guess is because it happened on a slow news holiday weekend.

This is why I'm keeping my campaign alive. You never know who might get hit by a tornado. Barack Obama, for instance.

"WTF? There have been like 100 tornadoes this season. Why is this particular tornado newsworthy?"
Because most journalists are alcoholics and most of those drink Hennessey.

Is Hillary Clinton in Hennessy, Oklahoma today?

That tornado coverage today was freakin awesome, and anyone that saw it live, can't say any different.
How about those newscasters at Fox and CNN hoping that the tornado would hit something a little more interesting than trees or barns. Now that's what people want to see!!!
