Walter Cronkite needs to check the label on his meds:
CRONKITE: KARL ROVE BEHIND BIN LADEN TAPE
Former CBSNEWS anchorman Walter Cronkite believes Bush adviser Karl Rove is possibly behind the new Bin Laden tape.
Cronkite made the startling comments late Friday during an interview on CNN.
Cronkite said he is "inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing."
Interviewer Larry King did not ask Cronkite to elaborate on the provocative election eve accusation.
Developing...
Is this man insane? With crackpot statements like this, the next thing out of Walter's mouth will be about endorsing the use of tin-foil hats to keep your brain safe from mind-controlling beams sent from Department of Suppression satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
I'm serious.....wait for it.
You people are...out of your depth. Agreed, Uncle Water was a jerk who manipulated his public sh

Frankly, I can't wait until the election is over. The vitriol coming from all of us, myself included, is only serving to further divide our country and I only hope that, unlike Humpty-Dumpty, we will be able to put it back together again regardless of who wins on November 2.

That is some impressive insanity. But sure - I'll buy it. I mean, if "America's most trusted news man" said it, it must be true, right?

Agreed, Uncle Water was a jerk who manipulated his public shamelessly while he was still working for CBS, and agreed his overall effect on the news media was negative, and agreed he always was an empty suit. But ye gods, don't you people realize that he was JOKING, for crying out loud?? The reason King did not pick up on it was that it was a flat, uninspired joke. If Walter had meant it seriously, he would have presented it differently and King would have jumped on it.
I'm in the position of having to explain a joke to someone who simply did not get it, and that never works. You either saw that Walter was doing his best, given his lame sense of humor, or you didn't. So I suspect many of you will still think his words were meant literally.
Right: it was not funny. In fact it was so stupid that King must have been embarrassed. But it really was a feeble attempt at satire. Very feeble, very stupid, and that should tell you something about a man who managed to pass himself off as a wise old uncle for so many years. He fooled a lot of people then, and he's still fooling them today, but in this case it wasn't intentional.
