David Brinkley was probably a liberal in some sense, but he was much too grounded in reality to buy into the stupidity of liberal government programs. He had a wonderful, easygoing skepticism and he hated BS, whatever its source. I really miss that twinkle in the eye and bemused grin.

He also had a great story about going out to a dinner with a bunch of Kennedys and getting stuck with the check. He was appalled at their cheapness, but knew it was amusing enough to make a good story.
