I think the whole world, and all of its problems, has come to a standstill, to watch the rescue of the Chilean miners.
I don't even know for sure, where Chile is. I don't know anyone from Chile, but this story is extraordinary. The only thing missing is Obama. I am surprised that he didn't take old AF ONE and fly down there. He could have taken 33 politicians, whose futures are questionable, with him and greeted each miner as they emerged from that hole. He could have handed each one, a million dollars, as they stepped out of the capsule. It would have been a political coupe.
It is great for TV though, 33 rescues, not one or two, but 33. How will they try to keep their audience for all those rescues. Would be a shame if no one was around for number 33.
"Hey fix it so it all shuts down when the last guy gets to the top, he can get out by himself, we've got to get back to Pennsylvania, we can pick the stuff up later."
It is very emotional though, the family members waiting. I don't know who all those people are, one, I guess is the President of Chile and his wife. I guess President's are President's, regardless of where they are.
Getting them all out of the mine was quite a chore, but getting them all on Leno is going to be quite a job.
