CNN reported the same thing. Somehow for 10 minutes or so everyone thought he had been dead a week, there had been a publicized drone strike killing 23 in Pakistan a week ago and apparently CNN (to which I switched the channel from Fox because Geraldo was melting down) and FOX put two and two together.

Did you see when Geraldo said he was happy Obama Bin Laden was dead?

I was a little surprised that CNN, MSNBC, etc all brought in their "A" teams to cover it, but Fox kept with that jacka$$ for a long time.

Yes, although I'm not sure it is inappropriate to be happy, it seems like lots of people are.

As for me coming back..

What did I not post in the political subforum for like 3 days?
