Peter Jennings emotional admission of Cancer/Video
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/04/06.html#a2327

A frail and somber Peter Jennings talked candidly about his heal problem with grace and dignity.
Our thoughts are with you. All the fools that criticized him for not going to Italy should take a look at a man with character.

1. Has Newsmax apologized to him yet
for saying he was a whiny malingerer when he announced he wasn't going to Rome because he was "under the weather"? (This is before the cancer was revealed). I doubt those chickenshits have.

3. I've got to admire his strength and courage...
... in discussing this with his audience.

4. Thanks for this. It was moving and straight to the point, very human
He could hardly speak, his voice was so hoarse. He acknowledged that too, and said that on "good days" when his voice was better and he was up to it, he would continue in his job.

Everyone should see this.

5. First time I saw the video--Jennings doesn't sound good at all....
If any good comes out of this it will be because maybe another million or more will throw their cigarettes away for good and live longer.

Talk about a drug that should be banned.....

6. AMen! They'd be helping themselves AND
NOT putting money in the corporate coffers..what could be better?

Sorry for Peter Jennings..it's weird that all the top three network anchors are seemingly out around the same time. Although, I hope Jennings makes a full recovery.
