Penitent CNN Anchor Confesses 'Eco-Sins' for Earth Day
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 04/22/2011 10:57:23 AM PDT by RatherBiased.com

In a bizarre wrap-up to the 2 p.m. EDT hour of CNN "Newsroom" Thursday, anchor T.J. Holmes confessed his "eco-sins" to the audience. Commemorating the eve of "Earth Day," Holmes admitted to his "green" faults which included driving an SUV by himself to work daily, blasting the heat in his house during winter, and using "less efficient" incandescent bulbs for lighting.

"These are my eco-sins. I'm confessing them to you because tomorrow is Earth Day," Holmes announced to the audience.

"It often goes ignored by many of us, including me. Not going to ignore it this year. Why? Well, maybe it was an awakening. Maybe I was scolded recently by an environmentalist. Maybe I'm tired of wasting my own money," he rambled, before wishing the audience a happy Earth Day.

The awkward segment grew a little more so at the end, when 3 p.m. EDT anchor Brooke Baldwin applauded Holmes for his honesty and Holmes sheepishly replied that "there's some other stuff."

He is also exhaling CO2 which adds to global warming.

If he is truly penitent then he should kill himself immediately.

Confessing one’s green sins on Good Friday is down right obnoxiously rude.

And make arrangements to be entombed in a hermetically sealed casket so that carbon compounds from the decay of his body can’t escape into the environment. Whatever, don’t make it cremation because that dumps the CO2 out fast as well as creating other CO2 from fuel.

An older hippie generation would point out that the wooden cross was “all natural” and lament that the nails were not. “Jesus, you should have been crucified with wooden pegs.”

Good Friday? What’s that? Does it have something to do with Earth day?

I believe the weekly BBC One Planet broadcasts ends the show with each correspondent revealing their carbon footprint for reporting their story.

They truly reside on a blissfully ignorant different planet.

I like to point out that crude oil is all natural and 100% biodegradable whenever possible.

I did my part by starting a tire fire on the empty lot at the end of the street today.
Is that an eco-sin?
Was that wrong?

He and Galore should be stoned together (not get stoned together). Ralph Nader should throw the first stone, provided he will promise to run for President again.
