"Why does anyone even bother to publish anything coming from the "rectal retrieval system" of that old gasbag?"

Because leftist newsrooms across the country are in trouble and the vanguard socialists among the boomer management are skidding off the road. What the prescription is for is to bring back comforting images of Mom & Dad's era when everything was alright with the world. In other words, some measure of credibility. Of course, ol' Walter never could cut it with conservatives (or anyone else that could pay attention), but his hoary old head is more credible as an effective liar image than the clinton's coked up blotchy faces or the smarmy look of a Stephanopolous or Carville. The left has only wheeled Walter out of cold storage to gain some face for 2004. When the election is over, he'll go out to pasture again.

the International Criminal Court at The Hague

BWAHAHA, you mean the court that has taken until just last week to get a conviction in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre that killed 7,500 people? And insulted the families by giving the commander a whopping 17 years in prison. The same court that has had Slobodan Milosevic on trial for mass murder for 3 years and have allowed him to make it into a joke show trial?

Great idea Walt, you boob. We're not going to let some pansy-a** International Court let Saddam off the hook. Saddam is going to get a fair trial right before the Iraqi people hang him. He's lucky he won't be tortured first as his victims were. Liberals aren't just stupid, they're dangerous. Rant over.

"That picture of Cronkite on his boat with the Clintons says it all.
I think it was at John Kennedy, Jr.'s funeral at sea."

No, I believe the Clinton's were vacationing with the Kennedy's or with Cronkite at the time.
Elitist villians prefer their own kind.
