There are a lot of classy posts on this thread. Glad to see it.

Here's to hoping for a speedy full recovery for Jennings.

LIke many others, as much as I disagree with Petah and with as many shots as I have taken at him on the forum over the years, cancer is a bad thing and lung cancer (at that) is no picnic.

Best wishes to Petah.

At least having such a high profile case is helpful in raising funds to find a cure. Peter Jennings I'm sure has lots of rich friends that will gladly open their pocketbooks to help, and the inevitible media exposure will raise awareness of the cause to even higher levels. I hope and pray for his recovery.

Good thing he'll be treated by the American health system and not the Canadian.

I quit smoking in January after 26 years. I'm using Commit Nicotine Lozenges and it's actually been pretty easy. The few few days were a little rough. I highly recommend you give them a shot.

Can you imagine what the DUmmies would be saying if El Rushbo had been stricken (God forbid)?

"Can you imagine what the DUmmies would be saying if El Rushbo had been stricken (God forbid)?"

I can see what some of them are saying about Jennings right now. Apparently he wasn't liberal enough for some ("he was a parrot of Ken Starr" seems to be a common theme), and others are blaming Karl Rove. Some people just can't put politics aside.

Also, I don't think God is punishing Peter Jennings. Careful where you tread, "judge not, for one day you to shall be judged (Mt 7:1)". Peter Jennings will be judged by someone far more righteous than anyone here when his time comes. The least we can all do is hope that time does not come too soon for anyone.

I just heard Jennings on ABC News. His voice is definitely sounding bad. Actually I am somewhat surprised. I thought he might have voice problems but not so soon.

He didn't sound good at all. Not at all. Raspy, almost struggled for breath once or twice.

He sounded frightened. Really not a good situation all around. I don't think we've been told all the facts yet.

I wonder how hard the staff at ABC is working to tie this to W's National Guard record.

I quit smoking in 1988 after seeing a picture of a pink healthy lung next to a black smoker lung. It was gross. I had a bad week or two, then felt fine. But everyone is different, I was lucky I guess.

I can't say I blame him. His voice was much worse than I expected. What kind of treatment is given to lung cancer patients?

Seems like you're getting beat up on things that many here say about many left leaning celebrities.
