Media douchebag of the week redux

Poor Miles O'Brien. It seems that the CNN anchor was all set to become the first journalist to board the space shuttle and blast off into outer space. Until Columbia disintegrated, and with it, an anchorman's dream.

Sorry, I wanted to know what that would look like if I were writing for CNN (maybe the feature where they display blogs on the Web).

Anyhow, the New York Daily News has the story; O'Brien was set to begin training at NASA when the shuttle was destroyed.

That sound you hear? Legitimate astronauts who were passed over for the shuttle vomiting.

Thanks to Shaky for the tip.
