Richard Engel Freed After Being Held Captive In Syria
My corroded vulture heart dropped out of my ass yesterday when some tricky motherfucker sent me an email with the subject: "Hot Reporter Kidnapped In Syria!" I thought The Silver Fox was getting tortured and slapped around in Syria. But it wasn't Anderson Cooper who was kidnapped, it was a different hot reporter. NBC News' chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel, and his crew were kidnapped by unidentified captors while reporting in Syria five days ago. The media found out about the story early on, but were asked by NBC to keep their fat mouths shut while Jessica Chastain and Anna Faris' husband looked for them. Yesterday, several media outlets broke the blackout and reported the story, but thankfully this one has a happy-ish ending.
Richard and his team were all freed yesterday after a firefight between rebels and their captors. Richard and his crew told their story on Today this morning. Richard said that while reporting in Syria, 15 masked gunmen grabbed them, blindfolded them and tied them up. For the next few days, they weren't allowed to talk and were subjected to mock executions. They were also moved from location to location and put through psychological torture. Their captors kept asking them which one of them wanted to die first. Shit was looking bleak until their captors came across a rebel checkpoint and a gun fight went down. Two of their captors were killed in the battle and the rebels took them. After spending a night with the rebels, they were taken to Turkey.
Richard thinks that his kidnappers were from a pro-Assad group and were planning to trade them for Iranian agents. Richard and his crew are okay and his immaculate hair wave was left unharmed. Richard's hair brings back memories of rolling my bangs with a roll brush in the bathroom mirror before drenching it with White Rain hairspray. I got up a half-hour early just to get hair like that.
Here's Richard and his colleagues talking about their traumatic experience. In the NBC movie based on their ordeal, they will be played by Jeremy Piven, Dylan Walsh and Olivia Newton-John's ex-boyfriend (the one who faked his death).

congrats richard. you are a hero
i know someone that worked with him and said he is a real dick.

The war isn't working.
So happy. What would we do w/o fearless people willing to risk lie and limb so we know what's going in in the world (no sarcasm).

Richard is an obvious homosexual and no doubt was being corn-holed by some 10-inch Arab sizemeat during her 'capture'!

Sorry, Roger, you are tiger now...
Killer jawline,baby. Sorry what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Syria. Well no one goes there anymore.
I LOVE him. Come here. Put your head on my shoulder. There, there. Let's make out. You'll feel better.
How can any american journalist do any reporting from these countries???They all would be kidnapped!
True journalists have my admiration to no end. What a way to give your lives to others. And these ppl do so without any pretense. Glad they're safe, and I'm glad MK put them up here. We should talk about a hot slut like this more often :).

Really? Wow that's a new low. What kind of propaganda is Richard Engel selling when war is actually happening in these countries? If anything, the U.S. does not report enough about what's going on over there compared to the BBC, etc. I'm glad he's safe.

I wish this douche war propagandist would go away.
Good to hear. He's a great reporter.
When Richard says he was psychologically tortured, does that mean they deprived him of hair spray, mousse, gel and other products during his horrific time in captivity? His hair looks abnormally flat in the Today Show appearance.
I am glad he and his crew are okay.
what's so funny gray one? what a weird story

NO - this is totally true. I am always having to get out of the way when a "Golden Oldie" almost maims me with their car. This happens when I go to the grocery store at lunchtime - it's right across the street from my workplace. That's all that is in the store - the oldies. They are not the nicest of folks...I had one almost run over my foot. Plus, they consistently jump in line at the register. They are lucky - I am not always comfortable with saying anything. I can only muster a dirty look!

Lisbet, cant you get the librarian to toss them out? If someone is threatening you then they need to be ejected.

These Syrian douchenozzles are some of the most cowardly, sadistic, bumwhistles I've ever read about. Killing, torturing, maiming children, women and civilians. But when they come across someone who shoots back they run and hide. I'm glad the reporting team is safe.
By the way, sometime today I have got to use the phrase "corroded vulture heart"- preferably on my supervisor. It's gold.
Oooh, oooh, and now there's a man on the computer next to me muttering obscenities under his breath! This evening is just completing itself!
I'm gonna ignore that one, because the last time this happened, I side eyed the bitch, partly in an attempt to shame her, and partly to see if she was unstable. And she started threatening and insulting me.
This is god's way of telling me to get my ass back home.
ETA: And now his phone is going off - vewwy, vewwy, loudly - every 2 minutes or so. He lets it ring, snarls an obscenity, then refuses the call, snarling about someone "hounding" him. Then TURN THE PHONE OFF, ASSHOLE.
Oh my god,Lisbet...I feel your pain. In the last year I had to shut down to oldies at the movies. I took my mom to see The Iron Lady and this old timer was TALKING LOUD to his wife. He had a comment on EVERYTHING - the actors, Maggie, the coolness of the theater! My mom kept giving me side eye cos she knew I was about to pop. Ok, now this guy probably was in WW2 or Vietnam and did something to make my life better blah blah blah, but DONT FUCK WIF MY MOVIE TIME! So my head spun around (that's what my ma said) and I told him that I did not care what his every opinion was and thanks to his talking so loud I was aware of them and if he would kindly shut the hell up for what was left of the movie. His wife looked shocked and he did shut up...I guess I should have known what I was in for when in the theater I saw a lineup of silverbacks. Shit, TURN UP your hearing aids!

Best news I've heard all week. Thankful that Richard and his colleagues were released [physically] unharmed.
I'm in the library right now, and there's an elderly man on his mobile who will not shut the fuck up.
I'm allowed to strangle him to death with his own intestines, right?
That's the most annoying thing. For all the whining about rude teenagers, it's the old people who are most rude. They talk the loudest in cinemas. (It might be my fault for going to see Great Expectations, but I'll be damned if I have to see children's films for some peace.) They're the ones screaming into their phones in inappropriate places. They refuse basic courtesies.
The tag on this made me laugh...although it's sadly appropriate.
Glad they found these guys and they're safe. And yes, I would hit it (Richard Engel, not Olivia Newton John's ex-boyfriend/husband/whatever he is).

'tis a shame when you think of Anderson Cooper now it's eating a gummy snake with Bravo Andy or teasing each others hair over BonBons with Kathy Griffin.
-------------------------------
I sorta agree with you. Andy used to a hard core journalist, dodging bullets during his Channel 1 days. But ever since that talk show it's like he has no street cred. I'm sure he'll be okay though. His coverage of things like Haiti and the CT tragedy were solid, and give a glimmer of what he's always capable of.

Personally I think they cut a deal with the kidnappers. They traded the correspondents for Twinkies.

honey she had been there and done that ages ago! Remember when she was in Haiti and she saved countless lives?
