Gramps

On and on Cronkite rambles, making very little sense but what do we care? After all those vacant decades he's still the media patriarch, though these days it's less a matter of grandfather than great-gramps.

Listening to him takes you back to when we were All in the Family. "Why, I remember when your Uncle Dan was knee-high to a telePrompTer."

But Uncle Dan is such a pompous toot, Walt. Whose idea was he anyway? We like you so much better. They say you're a lightweight, Walt, they say you were never Murrow but that's okay by us. Go on talking.

You want to collect some counsel here, you want to phone in a question. What does War really mean, Walt? What was the Blitz like, or D-Day? Do we buy this Saddam=Hitler analogy or what? What do you really think about Bush? Is it true you thought about running for president in '88, and if so what stopped you?
