Walter Cronkite would be "happy" to marry a man.

Fox news. O'reilly Factor

[Jeff Gordon]

Bill O'Reilly reports that Walter Cronkite has recently said that he would not mind marrying a man.

[RoseofTexas]

YUCK! Nasty ol' FART!!

[Enterprise]

I'm sure any number of liberal Democrat males would like to marry uncle Walter.

[Lawgvr1955]

Uncle Walter jumped the shark back in the 70's.

[Consort]

Dan Rather would make him a good spouse.

[sheik yerbouty]

Maybe he wants to make chocolate babies...(a confection in the 50s)

[writer33]

Walter's too old for women now. Probably the only reason he said that. That being said without riling the seniors here at Free Republic.

[Welsh Rabbit]

I dunno, most gays I know seem to be pretty obsessed with physical attractiveness and youth. Nothing sadder than an old queen...

[Southern Federalist]

I think it's just terrible, this media exploitation of the senile.

Wally, eat dirt and die! We have had enough of you and your drivle. Try drivling dirt. I learned this phrase from a card carying member of the NEA. Too stupid to throw away the card.

Translation: "I actually would have serious problems marrying a man, particularly if I had to consummate the marriage, but I pretend like I wouldn't to advance a political agenda with which I agree, hoping that a lot of nitwits who grew up watching me on TV will be swayed by my position."

(Shows you how easy it is to posture as 'enlightened', doesn't it, and how ridiculous this posturing really is .... Sorta makes you wonder how unbiased his 'reporting' was, as well, dontcha think?)

Posted here already, but I'll post my reply to his interview here, just for laughs:

WHAT HE SAID: "That doesn't mean I wouldn't have been happy to be married to several friends I had of the same sex ... It just never came up in our particular relations."

WHAT HE MEANT: "I'm open to anything, but my wife is really just my beard."

What he said: "I was really disappointed because I was out making popcorn. I spent a lot of time in the next couple days hoping to see a replay. And then in the replays I didn't see anything at all of interest."

WHAT HE MEANT: "Yeah, I was sad I missed it, but watched on the internet over and over again hoping to see Justin Timberlake tear away his pants."

WHAT HE SAID: On his "Most Trusted Man in America" tag: "Nobody polled my wife."

WHAT HE MEANT: "I clearly have issues. My wife doesn't trust me, and probably trusts me less since I said I would marry a guy."

WHAT HE SAID: On presidents: Ronald Reagan told the best dirty stories, and Jimmy Carter "... knew so much about everything and was not timid about telling you about it." Herbert Hoover, Cronkite says, was an economist, and "about as interesting as most economists."

WHAT HE MEANT: "I would marry Ronald Reagan."

WHAT HE SAID: "Our arrogant stand in nearly all our diplomatic approaches to the rest of the world with this administration has been such as to deeply embarrass the United States."

WHAT HE MEANT: "Had President Bush handled Vietnam the way he handled the events after 9-11, I clearly wouldn't have editorialized that war. I mean, GWB is from Texas. And I like men from Texas."

WHAT HE SAID: On President Bush: Cronkite sneers at what he calls "the Bush administration's facade of self-righteous certainty."

WHAT HE MEANT: "I like men from Texas who think decisively and act quickly and accordingly... well, not TOO quickly, if you catch my drift."

WHAT HE SAID: "vent my rage and let the chips fall where they will."

WHAT HE MEANT: "Man, this closet is stuffy. Sometimes you just gotta let loose and shake your booty til the sun comes up!"

WHAT HE SAID: "That doesn't mean I wouldn't have been happy to be married to several friends I had of the same sex ... It just never came up in our particular relations."

I heard Rush mention this the other day, apparantly it was something Walter said during a recent interview, for a magazine, I think.

He said something along the line that he just 'happened' to fall in love with a woman; if he'd of fallen in love with a man, he would have 'married' him.

Now, doesn't that fly in the face of the liberals claiming homosexuals are born that way??

Looks like Uncle Walter needs to visit the endocrinologist for
some testosterone therapy!

And a conservative Christian/Jewish clinical psychologist to get his
head screwed back on right.

[Savage Beast]

Some gay guys like older men. There's somebody for everybody.

[PeteFromMontana]

Dan Rather would make him a good spouse.

Or Andy Rooney

[Joee]

Ain't he close with the Slime Clinton? I hope that he practices "safe sex" with Billy as there will be much "passing around."

[Welsh Rabbit]

True enough. Also having plenty of money helps...

[TonyM]

You beat me to it. They would make a lovely pair.
