Could
it be that Joanna’s husband, Mark, is actually a blithering idiot? After all, why else would an experienced
television news reporter feel compelled to tell him to not scare people by
talking too loudly about those explosions being a bomb, and then repeat what
she had told him during her televised report, when she should realize that the
way a story is presented goes a long way toward how it is received by the
viewing audience?
In
all fairness, it could be argued that she was just giving an honest report about
what happened while her mind was still numb from pounding the pavement for 26.2
miles, but she neglected to make that clear—did she not? Of course, it may very well be that he was
going against the training he had received as a police officer, as well as in
the military, by shouting out that what was heard was a bomb, which would have
been a rather idiotic thing to do, considering the situation at hand.
In
any event, she succeeded in emasculating him before a fairly large viewing audience. Whether or not he deserved it
(naturally-speaking, of course) remains to be seen.
P.S.
It
was pointed out to me that I neglected to address intent. Therefore, please accept my sincere
apologies, and let it be widely known and well understood that I hope the
lovely and talented Ms. Small did not intend to humiliate her husband.
I
also neglected to mention that it most certainly works both ways. A good example of a husband humiliating his
wife in a public setting would be him volunteering to announce upon their
arrival at a community potluck dinner that she did not have much time to spend
in the kitchen because of the kids being sick, which would be (in effect) to
assume that the dish she prepared would not be received very well.
