Joseph Nigro At The TMR News Center: Soledad O’Brian Repeals The Laws Of Cause And Effect

While covering events leading up to the inauguration, Wolf Blitzer at CNN recounted the following conversation he had with Soledad O’Brien:

“I think that airplane that went down, the US Air flight and the pilot -- and Soledad and I were talking about this earlier and -- she was saying metaphorically in some ways, the pilot of that airplane is very much like Barack Obama -- that he got the plane down safely, but everybody else had to join together to get out of the plane and pull together to get through that adversity.”

What?

The pilot, Chelsey B. Sullenberger III, made a series of hard, critical decisions and then used his experience, skills, composure and intelligence to save 155 lives.

Done deal.

But O’Brien, while gushing like a soggy fruit loop, has no grasp of the obvious – when pilot Sullenberger reported for work at the airport that day, he was not greeted with applause.

When he got to the gate and prepared for the flight, he did not get any awards.

During the take-off run and initial climb, no one called him a hero.

Until he was one.

Now, spaced for slow comprehenders like Soledad:

Obama-has-not-done-anything-yet.

What’s even more pathetic, Soledad made her brilliant statement before Obama was even sworn in. In terms of her metaphor, he hadn’t even arrived at the airport to report for work.

So from now on, Purple Hearts will be awarded prior to battles, and every Monday you will get a traffic ticket in the mail, just in case you run a red light later in the week.

Soledad, you have insulted and demeaned Capt. Sullenberger, just so you could feel good about pretending to be intelligent.
