On America's 250th birthday, July 4th, a CNN reporter fully committed to his holiday spirit by donning an inflatable bald eagle costume, complete with Uncle Sam-style hat and patriotic glasses. Reporting live from the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., the meteorologist faced extreme heat, which had even led to the cancellation of the city's parade.
