Sure, its FreeRepublic's, not mine. Enjoy.

Wish I knew who made it so I could give them credit.

Uncle Walter's only notable contribution to society these days is the drool running down the front of his shirt and the stench from his Depends.

He is not a credible figure in any way, shape or form, and he embarrasses himself everytime he opens his mouth to speak.

Shut up, Walter, and stop deluding yourself.

Cronkite stated, pretty much categorically, right after his retirement that he was a socialist...
He didn't beat around the bush or try to justify it, he said so, loud and clear..
He's a socialist..

He was quite good at reading cue cards and later, teleprompters, and delivered the news ( as the networks saw it ) with a certain eloquence..
He very rarely voiced a personal opinion.. ( except near the end of vietnam, I seem to recall his voicing his opposition to our presence there and his opinion we should get out.. )

At any rate, I never listened to anything he said after I found out he was a socialist, and could care less what his opinion on anything is today..

I thought he was merely a pale imitation of Ted Baxter.

"Walter said recently, that "Americans aren't smart enough to vote properly".

..hmmm....he may have a point...

Yes, Walter has a point. . . but it's not too noticeable when he's wearing a hat.

Americans aren't smart enough to vote properly??
Walter, that's a pretty stupid and ignorant thing to say!
Who crowned you king anyway? Oh yeah, you live and rule in La La land.
Better go have your grey matter checked, dude, I think there's a lot of it missing!

In retirement, he has come out of the liberal closet

When was he ever in the liberal closet?
