Here's a challenge for you.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH is coming to New York tomorrow. You know the place, it's where they have been chasing terrorist suspects and bomb scares for the past several days.
WHY DON'T YOU: MESSRS Rather, Brokaw and Jennings...walk right with him.
Mr. Rather, you walked with the newly elected President Clinton interviewing him in Missouri during the floods. You remember, you had a co-anchor then; Connie Chung. When the to-be-impeached-for-lying President wished you the best of luck with the new co-anchor scheme, you replied, "Well, if we are half as successful as you and the First Lady, we will be doing just fine." But you weren't in any danger then were you? Well, let's see how brave you are...Walk with President Bush tomorrow.
Mr. Brokaw, you wrote a very fine book about a brave generation. You no doubt did quite a bit of research on bravery and sacrifice. But there doesn't seem to be any mention of your name associated with these virtues in any shape, form or fashion...anywhere. Now let's see how brave you are...Walk with President Bush tomorrow.
Mr. Jennings, you were in Sarajevo several years ago viewing the ruins and carnage first hand. You walked around Sarajevo in a bullet-proof vest while the 10 year old boy serving as your tour guide was clad only in a T-shirt. While we didn't get to see how you got from one place to another, we could only guess if you were wearing a bullet-proof vest for your on-screen appearances, you must have been transported around the city in something similar to the Pope-Mobile.
You especially have been critical of our President's actions and courage. Let's see how courageous you are now...Walk with President Bush tomorrow wearing the same type of attire that the President will be wearing.
However, I suggest that Bush shouldn't associate with such losers. Let him walk with some class people, Brit Hume, Tony Snow, etc.
Besides, Rather, Jennings, and Brokaw can't go to the scene. Too much dust. It sticks to slime.
