Jennings: Canadian by birth, American by sentiment By Gail Shister Inquirer Columnist

Though he feels "more American than Canadian," ABC's Peter Jennings has never applied for dual citizenship since moving to the United States in 1964.

"There are a lot of complicated reasons, many of them private and having to do with my family," says Jennings, 64, in town yesterday to hype his new book, In Search of America, and to anchor World News Tonight from Independence Mall.

Peter Jennings told David Letterman his mother "was pretty anti-American" so he was "raised with anti-Americanism in my blood (September 6, 2002).

If he wanted American citizenship, I'd lobby the INS to deny it.

"...Peter Jennings told David Letterman his mother "was pretty anti-American" so he was "raised with anti-Americanism in my blood (September 6, 2002)..."

Soldiers and Sailors take note!

When you sneak off without settling up your tab for hospitality rendered, you are sowing the seeds of anti-Americanism.

This is because the old Soviet Union would not honor dual citizenship.

Just doing what I can to atone for any breaches of common courtesy and international goodwill which may have occurred when I was young and dumb with a 24 hour Liberty Pass in my pocket...

Thank God this canuka-chump is too freakin' old to be MY boy.

Didn't he have a Palestinian lover? I believe she was and is a leader. Correct me if I am wrong.

I make it a point to miss his pompous, ignorant remarks.

Isn't he a high school dropout too? Let's get his resume together and include all his honors.

I haven't seen anything from Peter to indicate that he is American by sentiment. Here we have a man lecturing Americans about their government every night and he can't even vote.

After all of this time he still has reservations about becoming an American. Meanwhile, when he was on Larry King recently, a caller asked what Peter thought of recent anti-American statements by the Canadian PM. Larry at first denied such sentiment, Peter pleaded ignorance (if it ain't on the teleprompter, he don't know it), and a staffer soon presented Larry with an article which Mr. King proceeded to spin.

If he moved here in 64 the only reason was probably the draft.
