Oh, how I wish I'd said that

Fox News conducts a "man on the street" during Katrina.

A little later in the day came an unscripted moment that Fox News' Shep Smith may remember for a while. Smith tried to conduct a "man on the street interview" (video clip) with a guy in New Orleans walking his two dogs in the middle of the storm. As you'll see, the interview didn't quite go the way Shep had likely hoped. The exchange:

Smith: You're live on Fox News Channel, what are you doing?

Man: Walking my dogs.

Smith: Why are you still here? I'm just curious.

Man: None of your fucking business.

Smith: Oh that was a good answer, wasn't it? That was live on international television. Thanks so much for that. You know we apologize ...

Fox anchor: Well, that's the attitude ...

Yep, Fox, that's the attitude that people whose cities are being subsumed by the Gulf of Mexico sometimes take.

In fairness to Smith, he later said he agreed, it wasn't any of his fucking business. Well, not in so many words.
