…when you get caught doing the same thing you tried (and pretty much failed) to accuse somebody else of. Case in point the foolish, and probably ambitious reporter, Michelle Kosinski who yesterday accused Bush and his administration of staging a video-conference with troops in Iraq. Now it turns out that Kosinski was caught staging her own little news stunt.
Today’s timing couldn’t have been worse. A preceding segment focused on the incessant rains and ensuing flooding in the northeast. For days now, beautiful, blonde – and one senses highly ambitious – young reporter Michelle Kosinski has been on the scene for Today in New Jersey, working the story. In an apparent effort to draw attention to herself, in yesterday’s segment she turned up in hip waders, standing thigh-deep in the flood waters.
Taking her act one step further, this morning she appeared on a suburban street . . . paddling a canoe. There was one small problem. Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki . . . and the water barely covered their shoe tops! That’s right, Kosinski’s canoe was in no more than four to six inches of water!
An embarrassed Kosinski claimed the water was deeper down the street but that her producers didn’t want to let her go there for fear she’d drift away. But Katie and Matt, perhaps peeved by her attempted scene-stealing, couldn’t resist ribbing her.
Matt: “Are these holy men, perhaps walking on top of the water?â€
“Gee, is your oar hitting ground, Michelle?â€; inquired Katie, as she and Matt dissolved into laughter.
