I have to say this and I didn't want to ruin the tribute to Cronkite...
I have not turned on the tube for most of the afternoon, but I can bet you THAT EVERYONE on the tube will say that WC "inspired them to become or persue a broadcasting career"
I say BS to all of them, From Rush to Keith to Glenn to rachel.
If all you all eff ups had half the class he had in his toenail, you all would give up your jobs yesterday.
Don't bring the poor dude down to you crappy idea of news broadcasting.

Oh, YOu will see poor WC in a flak vest and one hand on his helmet and the other carrying the microphone in the mud of Viet Nam.
While being bombed.
That's a journalist.
Frank Rich, anyone. I always enjoy his Sunday opinion pieces in the NY Times.
This one is especially good.

Grace,
Why do you have to flaunt the time zone thing? YOU have a few hours of clarity to read, digest and post articles.
I wake up early every morning and have to kickstart the old brain-you have a head start. Go easy on us Left Coasters?
Please?![]()
Thank you for posting the article. I loved it.
p.s. Here one that I found interesting too. The author is a frequent guest on some MSNBC shows I watch.

MSNBC just had Elliot Spitzer on. I wonder what he thinks about political humiliation, effing moron.
--------------------
Back to the article?
I refuse to believe that the author can compare a black woman walking thru a cordon of white people yelling and screaming-and very well threatening her with bodily harm - to some hack judge who doesn't show any emotion while she's being grilled by some idiot senators.
(I have to tell the joke from Red Eye now.....How many senators can fit up the rear of a Supreme Court nominee?)
As some of the people have posted, thre is no comparison.
Eckford walked the gaunlet with little protection from the crowd. How dangerous was her walk to get a little education? Do you think that SS was subjected to the same kind of animosity on her walk to a higher paying job?
EFF NO. She'll ride into that position on Eckford's coattailsand fear.
That is one of the problems with the bleeding heart bloggers who try to find a common link to people who really were the leading edge of the civil rights/EO fight.
As an American of Mex descent, I find that her touted as the First Latina SCJ a laugh. She's going to be a judge, so what?
Why does her 'latina-ness' have to be an issue?
To use the 'peeing puppy' analogy again?
She'll be welcomed into the fold by the 'peeing puppy faction'.
The PPF is the small dog that greets you at the door and is so happy to see you it pees on the floor and all over your shoes. IT does not care about anything thing else other than the fact that you are there. The media and politicians really don't care about this woman and her qualifications, they just want to be seen as the champions of women and race.
----------------------
DO we really want a person that shows no emotion as a SCJ? A wet pile of newspaper also has the same persona, so why not nominate that? I would rather see some passion, not a person who hides who they really are.
It's like that new BF/GF you think is really cool, until they show up at your house at three a.m. in the morning, asking why you haven't called them in the past 6 hours.
Nice at first, but effing creepy when you get to know them!

Last week a young black gal became the first "Black Woman to solo/fly across the U.S."
What about the "youngest white boy to circumnavigate the world in a sailboat" from last week?
The more we "color" the world of news,the more obvious our 'racism' becomes apparent.
It looks worse in "hi-def".![]()
Damned if you ....damned if you don't....
Sotomayor was grilled ....are you a hothead? Do you have a short temper? Are you emotional (man speak for have an opinion that is different from mine...)?
Now we get....So if she expressed emotional she is a hothead...if she doesn't she has the same persona as a wet pile of newspapers!A wet pile of newspaper also has the same persona, so why not nominate that? I would rather see some passion, not a person who hides who they really are.
Some people just LOOK for reasons to knock others!
