Sanchez is a moron...period. We endured years of his stupidity as an anchor here in Miami. I imagined as I saw him in "Hurricane 1" that his employers had figured him for the only reporter dumb enough to drive around in a landfalling Cat 3.

I felt very sorry for his crew, having to put their lives at risk for such poor reporting.

>>...with anderson Cooper in a short second, as he tried to get himself killed live on the air this afternoon.

You've got to be kidding. That was great. Zarella kept trying to tell him to get back. I don't have an opinion on Cooper but I wanted to see him get bashed by that Ramada sign. :oops: Sick and twisted pleasure?

I like Anderson too. They said on CNN that Zarella's been on the scene for every hurricane since he started covering them for CNN years ago.

I first noticed Zarella when he was caught in that hotel room when we started bombing Baghdad in 1991. That was the real must-see tv. I thought he retired back to Miami or something, so maybe they just bring him back for hurricane assignments.

For me, Jim Cantore took the cake last year durine Jeanne when he donned a pair of swim goggles and stood leaning face-on into the wind. That is the moment to which I will yardstick all of this year's antics.

I will say that Anderson Cooper annoys me to no end, and I was actually on my feet cheering when the big "M" from the Ramada sign went whizzing past his silly little head. Wasn't there a scene in "The Day After Tomorrow" with an anchor "on scene" in downtown LA during the freak tornados that had an eerie similarity?

It was funny you mention the old "leaning into the wind" scenerio we were talking about it at work yesterday... But when Jim Cantore leans into the wind I think it is pretty cool... That may become his signature "stance"

Yeah Big Jim did that during Dennis as well. And yep I think a bus or something was coming down the street and took the reporter out in that movie.

Maybe we should have a poll of which newscaster will be the first to get himself killed on air durring a hurricane. Last year durring Charlie some guy almost got it from roof debris, and it seems every year some newscaster keeps suprising me with their stupidity. I think it is just a matter of time before one of them gets themselves killed.
