BOSTON Walter Cronkite is calling C-B-S' report on President Bush's National Guard service "embarrassing."On the other hand, he's urging patience until an investigation is done. The long-time C-B-S anchor says after that, people can decide what their reaction should be.
On Monday, Dan Rather, who succeeded Cronkite as C-B-S' main anchor, apologized for relying on questionable documents in a "60 Minutes" story.
The documents are purported to be from one of Bush's commanders in the Texas Air National Guard. They claim the commander ordered Bush to take a medical exam, which he did not. The documents also claim the commander felt pressured to sugarcoat an evaluation of Bush.
C-B-S has promised to give two investigators full access and complete cooperation and to make their final report public.
Walter Cronkite disses Dan - ping.
Maybe it is time for old Uncle Walt to come clean about his own lies while at CBS. Maybe he should start with explaining his Tet Offensive remark.
Walter is p*ssed because it was totally debunked before the lie had been repeated often enough to be seen as truth, and the truth a lie.
Cronkite is an authority on embarassing behavior.
My tagline sez it all.
Walt has a talent for understatement.
A watered-down response from one of the biggest leftists in the business..."embarrassing"...hey, Walter, WHAT THEY DID, AND/OR THEIR ACCOMPLICES DID, IS A MAJOR FEDERAL CRIME. Actually quite a few different crimes have been committed, from forging gov't. documents, to the violation of many FCC Rules and Regulations....ALL FEDERAL OFFENSES!!!
Embarrassing, Walter???
"Maybe it is time for old Uncle Walt to come clean about his own lies while at CBS. Maybe he should start with explaining his Tet Offensive remark."
Just what I was thinking!
Cronkite: "That's the way it is."
Rather: "That's the way I wish it was."
On the other hand, he's urging patience until an investigation is done.
Ummm, walt, what is there to investigate? The documents were forged, baby! Investigation in this case is just another word for cover-up. Sheeesh.
The most rusted man in America.
He's embarrassed because CBS and Baghdad Bob (oops, I mean Dan Rather), got caught. Where is the moral outrage?
The byline says Boston.
How would it come across if it were accurate, and said Martha's Vineyard.
Krankheit will always be at the top of my 'spitting distance' list, for singlehandedly sabotaging the American victory during Tet.
