I'm just not going to comment on a thread like this.
But I'm sure as hell thinking it...
Excuse me for showing my ignorance, but aren't most of the people in the pictures already braindead?

The best looking one out of the whole bunch is Jennings!

Geez, it looks like the morgues emptied out for this one.
LOL, Rooney looks like a homeless drunk.

I was going to comment on Andy Rooney, but I had a sudden charitable impulse, so I'll shut up.
Bet they didn't use "God".
I vant to suck your blood!
From the looks of that picture, Mr. Rooney has a right to complain. Yikes.
Who's that on Rooney's arm?
I've heard several media types state the Andy Rooney is the meanest man they ever meet.
There's a representative sampling of our male main-stream media: every one of `em older than Roosevelt's jock-strap.
(You know, if you photoshopped him a tooth-brush mustache, Dirty Dan would bear an uncanny resemblance to a former German dictator.)
A gathering of America's greatest???......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
My, God!! Jurrasic Park!! Where's Michael Crichton? He could do a script off these fossils!!
Rest in peace Peter, looks like your fellow travelers will be joining you soon.
If I was there, I would have been worried that Jennings might awake and try to eat me.
I hope there's also a Memorial for Truth nearby, where the bodies of the stories Jennings murdered can be laid to rest...
The Palestinian looters will stop for 1 minute in your honor. Then continue the pilaging emboldened by your endless lies.
Seeing these pics just shows that the expression "media elite" is not a meaningless slogan, but describes a very specific group of people who wield vast power and influence.
Gadzooks!
The way he looks, you'd think HE was the one that they should be memorializing...

Andy Rooney, above, seen outside Carnegie Hall wondering why the usher who took his arm has not escorted him to his seat yet.

Dan looks like he's been crying for a year and every other one looks on the edge of death.
Suddenly I feel very young.

Gawd..... did he make it through the memorial????
It's now hard for me to believe (and shameful to admit) that I once regarded Cristiane Amanpour as sexy.
"Between Walter Cronkite, Larry King and Andy Rooney, it sort of looked like a George Romero movie."
I was thinking more along the lines of "Weekend At Bernie's"
Does she have a standard pose?


ROFLMAO!!!!!
That was great!!
I can't stop laughing!
LOL.
She didn't like being told she could not walk all over the flight line.
Excuse me, but, ROTFL!!!!!!!
That is because Mr. Hume is a first class guy.
"You know what I don't like? When a woman gets too thin. That's all the rage these days, I know. I don't like this gal in the red dress, for example. Thin as a pipe! And another thing I don't like......"
Do you think Rather and Browkaw will put on another skin crawling self promoting spectacle like they did on the Emmys? It rivaled the wellstone "funeral" on the embarassment meter for those of you who missed it.
And the grand total of all their IQs added together is?
The big question is will he leave his money to wife numbers 1,2,3?...or Ammanpour, or directly to the Palestinians?
Some PA skank named Ashwari or some sort.
Speaking of PLO spokeswoman, didn't Cristiane live with BJ Clinton at Oxford? Or was that Gore?
Just think, if NONE of these bozos had ever entered journalism the country and the profession would be better for it!!! They imagine that they're the cream of the profession when in reality they are the dregs of a truly pitiful profession with few redeeming members....
