Team B(for Barely made it on time)

Henry Hyde
April 18, 1924-November 29, 2007

I produced Team B today and while I was in a state of panic from about 2:00 on , my team really pulled through. I worked to get the rundown to have a nice flow to it, and ended up redoing the whole order about a billion times because stories kept changing. I need to learn to calm down.

One story that was cut (which I'm actually pretty glad about) was about about the death of Former U.S. Representative Henry Hyde.

Former U.S. Representative Henry Hyde died early this morning. He was 83. President Bush presented Hyde the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this month. Hyde is remembered for leading House efforts to impeach President Clinton as the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He is also remembered as a champion of the anti-abortion movement after he attached an amendment to a spending bill prohibiting federal funds from being used to perform abortions.

I think it was poorly written and didn't fit in the rundown very well, so I'm very glad I am a dunce when it comes to timing.
