The Kyra Phillips Award

following in the footsteps of cnn's kyra phillips and her "proverbial bridge" - i bring you another installment of idiotic anchor statements.

msnbc's mika brzezinski this morning reported on hillbilly huckabee's rise in the recent la times/bloomberg poll. referring to his poll ascent as a "comeback."

ummm....mika. do you understand that you have to be ahead in the polls....then fall in the polls... then regain ground in the polls.... in order for it to be a comeback?

you can't just move ahead and term it a comeback. that's a "rise" in the polls, sweetie.

a rise.

having a camera or mike in your face often befuddles folks; they let whatever detritus floating closest to their communication command center sail out of their mouths.

of course, i am talking about regular people here. not people who are paid well to think on their feet. it is astounding how many talking heads make comments that are either entirely false or completely nonsensical.

thank you once again, oww, for being vigilant on the speak-with-accuracy-you-cultural-fucknut front.
