quick takes: 7 news - 11/5/2009 40 points

dave kartunen - a relatively quack-free delivery of the overview of the ft. hood shooting on the initial break from the obama press conference.  (10 points)


matt lorch - boston tv's leading adam sandler buff does a pretty good  "poor man's john king" with a digital map of the fort hood area.  (15 points)

byron barnett - byron's on the scene in belmont with the terrible story of an 18 year old girl taking a short cut across the tracks and getting hit by the commuter rail.  

ryan schulteis - also in belmont with an interview with the girl's neighbor.  sort of an odd editing choice to have the interview open with neighbor saying "she was a beautiful, asian girl."  maybe it's just me. (-5 points)

frances rivera - the fine filipino is in leather.  her white blouse is ruffled.  frances is also a bit ruffled as she fumbles badly on the hand off of the david krejci swine flu story to joe amorosino.  thankfully, joe does not fly into a rage.  (0 points)
 
nicole oliverio - did the cupcake have a late night last night?  good for her. (35 points)

7 news - you're just showing the video of the russian forklift driver destroying $170k worth of vodka now?  that clip has already made the rounds. i'll bet even the 'cvb golden girls have shown it.  (- 15 unhip points)

on usa - tonight it's gibbs in a coma - part 1.  he can be such a rich man's hasselhoff sometimes.

janet wu and dave kartunen are at the anchor desk tonight.

dave kartunen - tonight's suit is not helped by HD.  it's like he stumbled into my dad's old chalkline jack tripper style and canned laughter ensued.  i don't know what kind of name "kartunen" is - but when i look at dave - i suspect he's at least 25% duck. (-7 quacky points)

janet wu - she's cute as can be.  blue seems to be the color of the week.  (15 points)

michelle relerford looks fan-frigging-tastic in her banana yellow fall jacket.  good call.  with the zakim bridge in the background - michelle's got the story of the guy who disappeared after the bruins game.  while the footage with the missing kid's fiance is very sad - michelle still makes this blogger very glad.  (25 points) 

rhett lewis - first time i've seen this guy.  sounds like a bit of a goof.  good thing he reads sports and not biopsy results.  rhett has a tendency to "ridley" his script a bit (see the anchor slang section at the bottom of this page).  i think there's a cure for that.   (- 5 points)

which wu?
