Walter Cronkite a Pimp? (And That's The Way It Is...)
Dateline New York:
A shocking rumor has arisen regarding the past activities of former CBS anchor Walter Cronkite. Cronkite was once described as "the most trusted man in America". As many will recall, he said in the 70's, "This reporter sees no way to victory in Vietnamn!". Richard Nixon was reported to have said, "If we've lost Walter, we've lost America".
These "pimping" allegations are primarly coming from one "Boom-Boom Barbara", a former cocktail waitress, exotic dancer and sometimes prostitute. Said Boom-Boom, "Yeah, he looked like your favorite uncle sitting behind that News Desk but, believe me, he had a stable of 'fillys' back in the 70's. He could really slap, too! See this chipped tooth? Where do you think I got that? Uh-huh, dear ol' Walter, that's who!"
In trying to uncover this story, this reporter is running into a lot of resistance. Many of the women seem unwilling to talk. Said one, who requested anonymity, "You just dont understand! He's a very hard man! He's the 'Darth Vader' of the news jockey world!" Another nameless source stated, "I'm surprised it's take this long to come out! Many people have seen Walter cruising the streets collecting. Oh, I know, he was supposed to be tracking down a news story but, take it from me; he was slapping with one hand and collecting with the other!"
When asked for a comment, Andy Rooney, of 60 Minutes fame, said the following, "Have you ever wondered where they get polyester? Oh, sorry! You were asking if Walter was a pimp. Could be. I've often wondered about those feathered hats."
Obviously there is more to this story than meets the CBS "Eye". We shall see if "That's The Way It is" tomvickers@suddenlink.com
