I heard rumors that someone replaced him on Sunday mornings, but don't know anyone who can confirm that.

from AOL: He stepped down as host of ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley" in November 1996 but continued to do commentaries. He left amid a rare controversy, and an apology: Late on Election Night, after a long evening, he had said unkind things about President Clinton on the air, including calling him a "bore."

Clinton sat for an interview for Brinkley's last show anyway, and after Brinkley apologized, told him: "I always believe you have to judge people on their whole work, and if you get judged based on your whole work, you come out way ahead."

My favorite David Brinkley qoute (1968, reporting on the
Democratic National Convention):

"Well, here we are by the Union Stockyards again..."

On Friday [November 8, 1996] David Brinkley taped an interview
with Bill Clinton for airing on Sunday's [November 10, 1996] This
Week, his last show as host. Brinkley, who had called Clinton "a
bore" and said his election night speech was full of "goddamn
nonsense," began the interview:
"Before we begin I am reminded of something I wrote years ago. 'It
may be impossible to be objective,' I said. 'But we must always be
fair.' Well after a long day election day, and seven hours on the
set, what I said at the end of our election night coverage was
both impolite and unfair. And I'm sorry. I regret it."

It is Larry King time and who the Hell does he have on to talk about David Brinkley, but has been idiot & moron Dan Rather, who is also plugging his new book. My God could they not find some other contemporary of Mr. Brinkley's to talk about and eulogize him???????????????

Celebrities always die in "threes." David Brinkley, Gregory Peck and that Aussie guy from JAG...he committed suicide a few days ago.

Brinkley was anti 2nd Amendment which paints him as a liberal in my book, but he wasn't near as bad as Cronkite, Donaldson and Rather! Especially Cronkite...he's an absolute poster boy--er--geezer for the New World Order.

R.I.P. David. You were a class act and have been missed since you left the air.

A conservative in the pack of liberal wolves. He'll be missed. I loved his comments.
