Fox weather reporter Tucker Barnes gets covered in sewage reporting on Hurricane Irene

 

FOX

Tucker Barnes is owed a big bonus for reporting out the storm as sewage blew all over him.

It's a dirty job - and no one should have to do it.
Tucker Barnes of the Fox affiliate in Washington, D.C. made what is destined to be one of the most famous live shots in history Saturday standing in Ocean, Md. as Hurricane Irene covered him what he thought was "plankton or something."
It wasn't. It was raw sewage.

"I don't know what it is, it has a sort of sandy consistency," Barnes told Fox's New York viewers, covered head to tow in what looked like frothy pancake batter.
"It doesn't taste great," he said.
Back in his warm and dry station, the MyFoxNY anchor mused, "We've never seen anything like it."
Barnes, struggling to hold onto a boardwalk bench, said he hadn't either.
"Our chief meterologist back at the station said that it's some sort of organic matter. I guess it's plankton or something mixed in with sand and salt," he said.
"I can tell you first hand that it doesn't smell great. It feels kind of soapy."
"Be careful with that weird stuff, okay?" the anchor told him as the WTTG-TV reporter signed off. "That is a bizarre wild substance that is about to bury you."
MyFoxNY reported later that the mystery foam was raw sewage pouring into the sea and being whipped into a froth by the hurricane's winds.

Video : Tucker Carlson says Mike Vick should have been executed

You know, the year just wouldn’t be complete unless a Fox News analyst delved into the sports world and made an asinine comment. This one comes courtesy of Tucker Carlson last night as he filled in on Sean Hannity’s show.

His target? That evil, murderous, dog-killing Mike Vick.

“I’m a Christian, I’ve made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances,” Carlson said. “But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should’ve been executed for that. He wasn’t, but the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs? Kind of beyond the pale.”

The only thing that was missing was Rush Limbaugh zonked up on Oxycontin screaming, “the media was desirous of a successful black quarterback” in the background.
