I found this, though:
Yesterday's (Election Night 1996) CyberAlert reported how at the end of ABC's election night broadcast David Brinkley noted the creativity of his ABC colleagues, and then charged that "Bill Clinton has none of it. He has not a creative bone in his body. Therefore he is a bore and will always be a bore." I also predicted that his remarks would become big news as the journalistic community cringed at the anti-Clinton remarks.
Well, Thursday's newspapers brought plenty of stories and a remark earlier election night that didn't air on ABC's Washington affiliate. Just after Clinton finished his speech, at about 12:30am ET, this exchange occurred, as printed in the November 7 Dallas Morning News. (Rush Limbaugh on Thursday also played a tape of Brinkley's comments.)
Brinkley: "I wish to say that we all look forward with great pleasure to four years of wonderful, inspiring speeches full of wit, poetry, music, love and affection. More goddamn nonsense."
Peter Jennings: "You can't say that on the air, Mr. Brinkley."
Brinkley: "Well, I'm not on the air."
Jennings: "David, we are on the air."
Brinkley: "Too bad. I told you I was leaving."

Rush played that clip all day after Brinkley said it late election night, it was hilarious..David was finally saying what everyone was thinking on air!

"Bill Clinton has none of it. He has not a creative bone in his body. Therefore he is a bore and will always be a bore." I got giggling then, and still do over that one LOL
