The Washington Post’s Style section conducted a survey of who could fill the most-trusted void left behind by Walter Cronkite. A series of liberal-media heroes were named: Brian Williams, Bill Moyers, Jim Lehrer, Barbara Walters, Fareed Zakaria, Garrison Keillor, and Jon Stewart. But several people skipped the media stars and selected the Obamas. ABC Nightline correspondent Vicki Mabrey nominated Michelle as a Cronkite replacement: "Rosie the Riveter for our times in a designer gown. You just want to be her best friend forever."

Who fills the void left by Cronkite?

Lady Ga Ga or maybe Lorezo Lamas.

Abc is void

[OpusatFR]

Gak.

How much lower can the WAPOs numbers get? Watch and see.

Zakaria? As in Newsweek? As in “The Post American World”?

Nothing like being a toady to the powerful elite

They just have to keep puckered and try not to smell while kissing rear.

The elite are the first in the gulags. They fall for it every time.

“Rosie the Riveter for our times in a designer gown. You just want to be her best friend forever.”

You mean I’m not the only lonely person with no self esteem who needs famous people to live vicariously?

Thanks a lot. I was eating dinner and you made me throw up!

Brit Hume.

[freespirited]

[Deb]

Yep, since Tony Snow died.

[nomoremods]

[Pinetop]

"Rosie the Riveter for our times in a designer gown. You just want to be her best friend forever."

The disgusting thing I saw was an article by “Gunga” Dan Rather on Walter Kronkite published in the USA today (IIRC).

I don't care that Dan Blather replaced the Wonkite; he should be the embarrassing uncle that you should wait till he went to the bathroom to take the family photo.

Instead journalists show that truly they have no shame, and there is no depths one can plumb that will make one not an honored and revered member of their despicable cadre of conspirators.

[Popman]

What void?

Thinking the same thing.

Ear to ear......
