My favorite anchor Shep Smith did it again. Tonight, he was speaking to an embedded reporter, Rick, stationed with some division of troops in Iraq, and they were just constantly bantering back and forth. Anyways, near the very end of the conversation with his friend/reporter in Iraq, Shep proceeded to say: "If I didn't know any better Rick, I'd think you have had some beers, you Trickster!" After the delay, Rick got Shep's little quip, and Rick, Shep, and a Marine Commander all started giggling. I really think God put Shep on the job, to lighten everyone's spirits...soldiers, reporters, the home audience and me.
