Cronkite: Rove comment was only a joke!

Posted on 11/04/2004 7:01:42 PM PST by God luvs America

I tuned into CNN to gloat as Aaron Brown whined and caught the last part of the painful Larry King...he read a statement sent to him by Walter Conkout stating something to the effect, "I deeply regret the joke I made on your show about Karl Rove last week was taken as a serious comment."

He wasn't joking, and now he's lying about it.
Pitiful.

Walter was trying to make a joke about bin Laden and Rove...but it was exceptionally inappropriate and he deserves to be excoriated for it.

Cronkite was the beginning of the LeftMedia and we were too naive to know any better. We won't get fooled again.

Dear Walter:

Courage. We all need to stick together. It was just a joke? I should have tried that one.

Signed, Dan.

Hmmm. I wonder if the part about the election not being decided until Spring was a joke as well?

Walter you are a dangerous person, they should put you back on your boat and send you into "The Perfect Storm". America would be better for it and so would you. You old commie you!

Tired old liberal flap jaw. Wants it both ways. Doesn't even deserve air time.

If he had a history of joking, it might make it a little plausible. Not believable, but a LITTLE plausible.

Oldest defence in the world -- "I was only joking". And the stupidest.

You don't make jokes about the person who murdered nearly 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001.

Too late, You gotta live with this one. No one took what you said seriously, we just took you seriously. You showed you colors, so to speak. Deal with it.

Did he put in the caveat most liberals do-'if anyone was offended...'-like anyone who took offense at his childish, unverifiable, crass, etc., statement was some sort of uber-sensitive idiot? I hate it when they do that.

Walter Cronkhite, begone!

get him into assisted living, now.

No, he deserves no assistance. Put him in a 7 story home with one bathroom - on the 7th floor.

Demented and/or paranoid delusional patients often drift in and out of lucidity, often covering their mental infirmity and psychosis with endless excuses.
