News Blues.
MSNBC's Ashleigh Banfield has become engaged to marry producer Drew Nederpelt, who helped save her life the morning of the World Trade Centers disaster. Banfield, now on assignment in Islamabad, Pakistan, dyed her blond hair black and cut it short before returning to the region this week. "I'm somewhat concerned being a woman in an Islamic republic filled with fundamentalists who hate Americans."
Bummer. Now she's engaged, not a blonde, has short hair, and is in Islamabad, Pakistan. Where's her camel sense?
