Reporter Reveals WAAY too Much

Reporter Shea Allen of WAAY-TV got fired because of what she said in her blog.  Here's a few samples.

1. I've gone bra-less during a live broadcast and no one was the wiser.
2. My best sources are the ones who secretly have a crush on me.
3. I am better live when I have no script and no idea what I'm talking about.

Gee, she could be on MSNBC.

9. If you ramble and I deem you unnecessary for my story, I'll stop recording but let you think otherwise.



With regard to #1, I guessed it.  She's darn good-looking for the Huntsville market.

I guess that clinches it.  This is a true two-fer for this old meme:

Happy Fourth of July!

What can be more emblematic of America's Independence than beauteous Kate Upton?

Isn't America great and blessed?
