Gutless vs. Gutty

Look for "gutless" in the dictionary, and you'll see the Lakers.

Fucking quitters. The single most gutless display in athletics that I can recall.

But as for gutty, check out this interview with Lara Logan of CBS News.



That, my friends, is one badass reporter. Did you see her "been there so don't fuck with me" attitude and demeanor? Wicked dry--almost gallows--humor ("A few components of suicide bombs, you know, a couple of useful things"). Her dissection (er, complete evisceration) of American broadcast journalism ("If I were to watch the news that you're hearing here in the United States, I'd just blow my brains out, because it would just drive me nuts."). Her salty tongue:

Logan: You know, often I work until 8 in the morning. I woke up one morning and I looked at the clock, and it was like, 11:00 a.m., and I thought, "Shit! I've got to get up!" and then I thought —

Stewart: Uh — I don't allow that type of language on this program. I don't care that you've just spent the last 5 years in a war zone, we have standards here.

Logan: Usually that's a good way to break the ice. You get in a Humvee with soldiers, they're all on their best behavior, they've been told not to swear about you, and you say, "Yo, what's up, motherfuckers?" and then it's all done.

And finally, that matter-of-fact proclamation that we have "lost our humanity."

Kick ass. And the fact she's not hard on the eyes with a cool accent doesn't hurt either.

Why do I get the feeling if she'd been playing center for the Lakers... they might be the champs and not simply the [s]lackers...
