Frances Foul Weather Friends

[Bill O'Neill]

Just sitting here watching The Weather Channel (9:03 a.m. ET). Just as the
meteorologist is starting his report, replete with 50 mph winds all around,
NBC's Al Roker pops into the shot and holds onto the Weather Channel guy, both
struggling to stay upright.  Turned it into a very funny bit (lots of closeness
entendre, etc.  "Brian Williams never held me this close during Andrew.")  The
Wx Channel anchors noted that the broadcasting industry is a close bunch, "but
that is as close as it gets."
