CNN's
"American Morning" host Soledad O'Brien said
Tuesday that Hurricane Katrina evacuees housed at the
Superdome were worse off than beheading victims in Baghdad.
The normally mild-mannered newswoman
offered the overwrought observation while speaking at
Redbook Magazine's "Movers and Shakers" awards
luncheon in New York.
According to the New York Daily News,
O'Brien blurted out:
"It is a sad thing to watch military
veterans cry as they tell you the beheadings in Baghdad
were less horrific than what they saw as 30,000 people
marched from the Superdome through a shopping mall and
onto buses to who knows where."
Ms. O'Brien didn't identify the veterans
who told her that Katrina victims would have been better
off being beheaded. |
