Pompous Windbag

Walter Cronkite, of course. Who else did you think I was talking about?

Someone should tell him this isn't the 60s and no one cares what he thinks any more. (And that it was a mistake anyone ever did.)

His latest "who asked you?" comment is, predictably, that it's time to leave Iraq. Even better, he thinks we should have left after Hurricane Katrina. I know it sounds ridiculous, but let me quote him:

We had an opportunity to say to the world and Iraqis after the hurricane disaster that Mother Nature has not treated us well and we find ourselves missing the amount of money it takes to help these poor people out of their homeless situation and rebuild some of our most important cities in the United States. Therefore, we are going to have to bring our troops home.

You know, if Bush had said something that bottomlessly stupid, he'd deserve all the hatred he's getting.
