Bryan Preston has an intersting answers that will make Chris Matthews and Tom Brokaw cry.
Speaking of Brokaw, i caught a snippet of "Morning Joe" today. Brokaw and Dan Rather rehashing memories of 11/22/63. It was kind of pathetic. A couple of old bulls, long ago put out to pasture, telling stories about their Glory Days.
