“Cheap @$$.”

Yes, but did he buy her all those jewels?

If he did, maybe he was not so cheap after all.

I don’t like the libtard creep, but he did the right thing this time. His kids should get the moola.

P.S.

If he didn’t, then she had a lot of money on her own anyway.

She’ll find a way to challenge it.And,depending on how much $$$ he left,the case will take months or,perhaps,years to sort things out.

He made up his will several years ago. He left his estate to his children. She will do the same with her estate. She is a widow and he a widower. He left things intact. Big deal. I would hope that I would not jump into the notion that I have to change my will if my spouse died just because I was dating someone. He was a liberal but no fool

“He proposed to Joanna several years ago,” one insider tells us of Cronkite. “They were going to get married on the Martha’s Vineyard estate of her sister Carly Simon. But Walter thought he should ask for his children’s permission. They went bananas. Their mother, Betsy, was married to Walter for 65 years. And as far as they were concerned, there was never going to be another Mrs. Cronkite.”
