Why do people say 'waiting online' when speaking of waiting IN A LINE?
It sounds so stupid. Many of these HLN reporters have said it in regards to protestors and others who wait in a line to try to get in the courthouse to see some/any of the Casey Anthony trial. Is that an East Coast thing that I am not aware of? Waiting online, to me, could only have meaning to doing something on the internet, Not waiting in a line in person, Please explain.
No, I just rewound it on my DVR again to listen just to be sure I'm not hearing it wrong. Each of them is saying the same thing, 'Waiting ONline.' I've heard it before in this case and I've also heard it from comedians, etc. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

They are not saying waiting online, they are saying waiting IN LINE, one does not usually use the 'a' to say 'in a line' when they describe that they are waiting. You are mishearing what the reporters are saying.
Edit: well, it is wrong if that is really what you hear, and likely people are just so used to saying 'online' that they are misspeaking. It's not a huge issue to make a big deal about, people aren't thinking about what they are saying.
