You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
By now, perhaps you've seen Al Roker's pathetic attempt to cover Hurricane Wilma. According to Roker, the real news was that he has been unfairly targeted by print journalists for "trivializing hurricane coverage" and for "grandstanding."
This was Roker's reaction: "I’ve got your grandstand right here. Stop whining. Just because your medium is irrelevant when it comes to a breaking story like a hurricane doesn’t mean you have to trash others who are out there covering it."
Roker also lashed out at Florida Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings (R), who had said she saw Roker on TV on a beach with two people holding him down. "That would be like me saying, I saw the lieutenant governor drinking heavily the morning off the hurricane," Roker wrote on his Web page. "Maybe she was. I don’t know that."
The lesson from this flap? Evidently Al Roker has a Web page. Who knew?

Nice subject line.
The real news is that Al Roker has apparently lost enough weight that he now needs people to hold him down. It wasn't that long ago that he could have been swung from cranes for purposes of building demolition.
So this is how Al Roker falls down -- to thunderous guffaws.
Well, I forgot what I had been going to write when I couldn't get on.... But I saw the Roker thing live, and it was ridiculous and I thought the guy on the floor was tackling him, and couldn't understand what he was doing there--
