ah, the "scud stud"
remember him from the first gulf war? this little tidbit on pagesix, which i only read for kicks, reminded me of his existence:
THE "scud stud" may fire a legal missile at Mike Nichols and Universal Pictures. Arthur Kent, former NBC News heartthrob, is angry that clips of his Gulf War reports were used in NBC Universal's "Charlie Wilson's War" without acknowledgement. "It was a pretty basic breach of copyright law - brazen, even. And this from one of the corporations that's always moaning on and on about piracy," Kent tells Canadian gossip Shinan Govani. Kent, now a politician in Calgary, isn't too impressed with the Tom Hanks movie, either, calling parts "emphatically false." NBC Universal didn't get back to us.
my mother and i both had a crush on him, and he made the war much more interesting than it actually was. just kidding. anyway during the winter of 1991, i would come home from school, and my mother and i would crank up the kerosene heater in the freezing family room, lie on opposite ends of the couch, eat snacks, watch donohue, and take our afternoon siesta/pass out from the kerosene fumes. when we would come to around 5:30 central and mountain time, the "scud stud" would be on the news. oh yeah! those were the days!
p.s. actually, i feel like there was more round-the-clock war coverage on the major networks because the war had only begun in january of that year. am i right? hmmm.
