Wow!  Thanks to all the kewl kats who passed along the info on the repeat.
Very nice segment... a bit shallow, but all part of the mythos, I guess.
Loved the attempts of CNN to hide the REAL TRP in the shadows of the
populace... he was unmistakable, though -- putting together the visual clues
from Nancy Jo Sales shot of his backside... it was simple to piece together
the rest... his wardrobe, gate, etc...  Nice hat -- any guesses as to the
logo!? ;-)  I thought it was doubly kewl how he nonchalantly strolled along
off the curb, dodging the camera without drawing attention to himself.  I
loved his comments to CNN.  Very nice.  Put the bloody reporters in their
place.  Still, atleast they had the class to mix him up in the crowd to
avoid the "masses," though the Elite know who he is... (oh my God... are we
the Elite!!???  |:-O  Somebody hack that webpage and destroy that little
streaming video thingie they've got up before it's too late!!!!!)
