Journalism at its finest

This was said on ABC news at 10 by a man who was waiting in line to see the Pope:

"Our flight leaves at midnight, and we're going to wait in this line until the last possible minute. We love that Pope, and we're gonna see him, even if we have to push little old ladies out of the way."

Now, they had to have interviewed more than just one person, and the fact that they chose this one, is a perfect testament to East Texas sensibilities.

This ranks right up there with the news story about the man who built his own personal golf course: "Now, you may not think driving a bulldozer is relaxing, but let me tell ya, nothing makes a bad day better than knocking down a tree."

From this we can conclude East Texans let neither trees nor little old ladies get in their way.
