"Today's timing couldn't have been worse. A preceding segment focused
on the incessant rains and ensuing flooding in the northeast. For days
now, beautiful, blonde - and one senses highly ambitious - young
reporter Michelle Kosinski has been on the scene for Today in New
Jersey, working the story. In an apparent effort to draw attention to
herself, in yesterday's segment she turned up in hip waders, standing
thigh-deep in the flood waters.

Taking her act one step further, this morning she appeared on a
suburban street . . . paddling a canoe. There was one small problem.
Just as the segment came on the air, two men waded in front of Kosinki
. . . and the water barely covered their shoe tops! That's right,
Kosinski's canoe was in no more than four to six inches of water!

An embarrassed Kosinski claimed the water was deeper down the street
but that her producers didn't want to let her go there for fear she'd
drift away. But Katie and Matt, perhaps peeved by her attempted
scene-stealing, couldn't resist ribbing her.

Matt: "Are these holy men, perhaps walking on top of the water?"

"Gee, is your oar hitting ground, Michelle?" inquired Katie, as she
and Matt dissolved into laughter.

Moral of the story: people in canoes in a few inches of water
shouldn't throw video-stunt stones."

Perhaps she's trying to become the new Geraldo Rivera. She needs to have a 'fan
man' blowing her hair around.
