How dumb are news anchors?

You decide.

CNN anchor Deb Feyerick wondered if the asteroid coming our way is “an effect of, perhaps, of global warming or is this just some meteoric occasion?”

Seriously. That is not a joke. CNN … “The Worldwide Leader in News.” The link to the video is @

As for the asteroid, it’s about 160 feet in diameter and will make a near miss fly by on February 15th.

Funny stuff @ Twitchy:

  • greggutfeld – For those of you laughing at CNN’s idea that global warming causes asteroids, you forget that warm climates tend to attract visitors.
  • HARP2 – The asteroid is not nearly as big as the rocks in her head.
  • TocksNedlog – Her hair dye seems to have sunk in PAST the roots.
  • GoSellCrazySomeplaceElse – Global Warming causing asteroids’ pathway to earth and Guam tipping over.
  • PizSez – Yes, the asteroid is caused by global warming! You see, asteroids are male, and as the Earth (which is female) gets hotter, more and more male space bodies will be attracted to her. This horny little fellow is just the first of many.
  • Catherder – PizSez – That’s how she became known as Mother Earth, after all.
  • Bob Lee – Yes sir. GW is drawing that sucker in on us fer sure.
  • Rolf Tandberg – Bob Lee, I can’t believe you are on the “It is Bush’s fault” bandwagon. ;<)
  • w00tbart – When Dick Cheney’s Tractor Beam pulls this asteroid down on the heads of all the world’s indigenous peoples, irreparably ruining the delicately balanced ecosystem, then you will feel so smug. WHY do you wingnuts hate nature so much, you racists!
  • crosspatch – Well, you see, it goes like this: The global warming causes the atmosphere to swell. When the atmosphere swells, it reaches out and grabs that asteroid and pulls it in toward Earth. It was really hot when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. See what happened to them? Global warming causes a swollen atmosphere which in turn causes bumps on the head. See? It’s as simple as that.
  • Steve_J – Asstrroids? They’re very unpleasant things to have.
