CNN would say in words that everyone should stay inside
where it’s safe during the Superstorm Sandy. Oh, but actions speak louder than
words, and by having Ali Velshi, CNN’s resident Pillsbury Dough Boy, standing
out in the storm all night, they are essentially saying: “Hey guys: think
you’re so tough? Well, Ali Velshi is standing out in the Hurricane all night
long! So how come you’re not? Are you really such pansies? Wimps!” This kind of
implied dare is cat-nip to tough guys! You know they’ll be drowning themselves
in large numbers just to try to out-macho Ali Velshi! (As if that’s possible after tonight! I think he’s earned Superman
credentials tonight. {But it’s still setting a bad example!})
