“Sarge,

Rush in his prime was incredible. I just loved listening to his show. And he was wonderful at exposing Democratic excesses.

He'd do that Ted Kennedy "He Sleeps Around" update song and I'd just roll over laughing because it was the truth.

Those days are gone.”

“Humor is what the left tells you day in day out....."vast Right wing conspiracy", "Interrigators at Gitmo are the same as the Gestapo", "Hillary Clinton is a moderate" all this is hilarious stuff :)”

“oh man! that was sad, i just saw a tribute to Peter Jennings on ABC. he seemed like an awesome person, and i never really noticed. at the end they had a shot of his empty chair...i cried my eyeballs out!”

“Its interesting that no one mentioned Peter's tiff with Toby Keith after 9/11. Again I think Peter was a pretty insightful guy but his corner turned with that stated debacle in my humble opinion.”

“Peter was my favorite. : ( Darn.”

“Yall need to talk something other than polotics. For goodness sake, someone start a backpacking thread. For the record, I get my news via a ballanced newspaper. I will admit to missing Brokaw and his folksy ways, and We could all identify with him on one level, as he is a devoted fan of the outdoors. I never watched Jennings, but wish him the same peace as I would desire when it is my turn to go.”

“Whoops, I mean politics.”

“I've heard those Polo tics are pretty bad, they hide in the grass and then when you lean over to hit the ball with that croquet looking stick thingy they jump up, crawl up your arm and sink their teeth in your ass.

Horrifying!”

“Unfortunately I wasn't able to get home last night until after 8. I wanted to see that, lyra.

What a change in national news - within 5 months all 3 of the major faces on TV have disappeared. Yeah, Rather still does 60 mins, but that doesn't count. He's not in the big chair.”

“I remember Walter Cronkite and Huntley/Brinkley turning over their chairs. Now we've lost Jennings, Rather, and Brokaw. Jennings was my favorite out of the 3.

Unfortunately, I rarely watch the news these days; so I don't even know who the new anchors are or will be.”

“The celebrity worship around this place is kind of sad.”

“I’m just proud that bbw didn’t post, “Peter Jennings was never very nice to me. I guess you do get what’s coming to you.”.”

“Jenning's public memorial service to be held 9/20.
