Your search - kosovo "walter conkrite" - did not match any documents. LOL. Did you try it with the correct spelling?

LOL, Yeah, but couldn't attribute one quote to him and the Kosovo thing.

[BADROTOFINGER]

My apologies, I thought that I was the first to notice this lie...JFK

[ladtx]

True. He's just a silly old man whose critical thinking skills are severely diminished.

[montomike]

How about the glue factory!

[Lijahsbubbe]

How about:

CRONKITE SAYS TROUPS SHOULDN'T FEEL CONFIDENT!

[Lunatic Fringe]

I agree... liberals are funny enough without having to make stuff up! Dont put in quotes something you make up!

[Lijahsbubbe]

Really? I'll be watchin' tonite!

[BADROTOFINGER]

Fine. At least it wouldnt be a flat out lie...JFK

[tom paine 2]

How about a torpedo instead?

[weegee]

Is the old man cupping his hands and making farting sounds again?

< FRAP - FRAP - FRAP >

As one who recently had a stroke and whose life was saved by a LEO whose existence he likely eschews, Mr. CrankBite should be very careful about wishing a good "humbling" on anyone or anything.

"Pampers" is a noun as well as a verb, and "that's the way it is," Falter.........

[Steve_Seattle]

Walter, we want your fat ass out of this country. And that's the way it is.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Yep yep.

[graycamel]

The "most trusted man in America,"

I got the above line from the article. Notice the quotes. Is the writer being ironic or just agreeing with the cliche? I think a more correct definition of Cronkite would be the "biggest f*%$ing idiot in America".

[bird humming]

Walty, you are just so OVER! Nobody cares what you say except your Stoli-swilling buddies on Martha's Vineyard. You know, like equally OVER friends such as Donohue & Grodin.

[BADROTOFINGER]

Before you get too mad, you might read the article. What O.C. put in the headline is just stuff he made up. Makes us look like liars and idiots unfortunately...JFK

[visualops]

Last night, Fred Barnes countered Brit Hume (who was trying to be nice perhaps) and said it was intellectually dishonest to say you 'supported the troops', but didn't support what they were doing.

[Artem55]

Hey Walter. How's about sailing your boat up the Tigris? I hear there's going to be a nice fireworks display there tonight (you senile commie!)

[visualops]

That picture says "pompous ass" in very large letters.

[weegee]

There was someone who did recently throw her support to the enemy:

. Hynde rages and rules at Warfield (traitor gag and puke alert)

"Have we gone to war yet?" she asked sarcastically, early on. "We (expletive) deserve to get bombed. Bring it on." Later she yelled, "Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!"

When a crowd member responded to that inflammatory statement, Hynde stormed the mic, roaring, "Shut your face!" Glaring, she held out the mic toward the fan as longtime drummer Martin Chambers stood up behind her, ready to rumble. "You come up to the mic and say something, smart guy," she snarled. "What do you want to talk about?"

Also mentioned here:

...opined that she hopes the United States loses if it goes to war with Iraq ("Bring it on! Give us what we deserve!")

(both from SF Chronicle)

ROCKER HYNDE ROOTS FOR WEST'S LOSS AGAINST IRAQ: 'GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE!'...

and here:

Chrissie Hynde of the Band Pretenders Roots for West's Loss Against Iraq "GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE"

Cronkite has not quite said "this war is unwinable" this time. He certainly held his tongue when the impeached Bill Clinton launced airstrikes on Iraq without UN approval.
