Has nothing to do with class Gabz, it has everything to do with biting one's tongue....hard. I'll not throw any mud on PJ, but I won't become part of the lovefest either. The man was a hired gun for the left, but like I said in an earlier post, I hope he asks, and receives, God's forgiveness.

"...I won't become part of the lovefest..."
I was very angry with Jennings after his "temper tantrum" comments following the big GOP sweep in 1994, mostly because I admired a man who could reach his level of prominence without even having gone to college, and because he had a good analytical mind and great delivery. I felt let down, I guess. I didn't understand how he could have misread the American voter so badly. Still, whenever I watched network news, it would be Peter Jennings, no contest. He was good at what he did and the broadcast business will not likely find another of his caliber. All they are turning out today are talking heads.
I have lost too many in my own family to cancer of one sort or another. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Prayers for Mr. Jennings and family.
And, no, you will never see a thread of this class on DU.

Some forums do this sort of thing well, while others (rolls eyes) do not.

Good for you. The last thing God wants is a lovefest.
