On a darker note...
Didn't the media go into a frenzy...
They were like sharks ripping apart a baby seal...
You couldn't literally see them shaking on adrenalin when she came out the door...
I was hoping one of those guards would pull a gun and start shooting it to see them all scurry off like the rats that they are...
Then they chased them down the roads on motorcycles taking pictures of black windows... it was pathetic...
Yeas, indeed. They create the drama....and then report the 'media' drama as though they were having an 'out of body' experience. The media report on the 'media circus' as though it happened without their direct involvement!
Makes me puke.
Its like when they go into a war situation to report on the soldiers but hide in some compound talking about themselves and how dangerous it is for them...
"Cammer Lenz for KRUD News Network, now live from Afghanistan, with our Glowbelle Trotter – Raving Eye International Correspondent. :-
"Yes, Cammera, we're.... taking heavy fire at the moment... there's spilt.. whatever everywhere here...a mortar bomb or a.. roadside bomb... has just gone off... ONLY a kilometre away..... and has shaken the windows of the Kabul Hilton as we watch. Some... have taken cover... in case the windows blow in, and there are.... endless pools of spilt drinks all around us! People are lying under couches and tables, and the waiters are rushing madly around trying to stem the .... terrible haemmoraging of spilt martinis and whiskey... and desperately trying to get everyone back with a coldie in hand. Terrible scenes here, Cammera.. and we await the Five O'clock Follies at Allied Headquarters to tell us all we need to know about this... terrible incident, and the terrible casualties it has caused here!
Back to the News Room.. I'm just having to hold a damp cloth to a weeping table here to stem the flooding fluid - my handkerchief in fact... as good whiskey flows down it... a terrible sight... I may be forced to suck the fluid out!"
**static - white noise (zzzhhhhhh) ...cut out......
"Back at the newsroom...Glowbelle seems to have her hands full there in Afghanistan... we'll renew our live coverage of this latest Taliban outrage as soon as contact is re-established... in the meantime.. we continue our replay of Lays of Our Dives"....
Yes... a bit like Rudd when he was saying that he'd been on the FRONT LINE with the soldiers...
He spent all his time cowering behind high walls sipping marguerites and looking for his hair brush
