Hey Everybody...point And Laugh...
I get in my truck for a quick trip to the store, turn on the radio, and I hear,
"...assassination attempt, or actual assassination, depending on the President's condition..." They go on to talk about transporting to the hospital...the President has been shot...transfusions... I call my girlfriend, tell her to "QUICK-TURN ON THE NEWS-OBAMA'S BEEN SHOT!!" My neighbor, who is working in the yard, hears me and is "WTF?!" I tell her what I hear...she calls her husband at work... And then on the radio, I hear-"We just got confirmation-the President is dead!" I inform my GF and my neighbor...Thinking all along WOW-that sure didn't take long. My GF is telling me there is nothing on the news at all, not on CNN, not the local news, which just happens to be on... Then.... "This is Walter Kronkite...yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah.... They were replaying his coverage of JFK's assassination, and I just happened to turn on nthe radio at the right/wrong time....
