5. Imagine ...... a black man who proudly wore an ear ring when it was ......

..... still a scary affectation and who did it proudly.

He was also the first black White House correspondent.

4. Oh, no.

That is awful. I had no idea he was even sick. He had looked so muscled up lately.

6. It's also been on CNN, Headline News, and Fox.

They even interrupted Tony Snow's press conference just now on MSNBC.
RIP, Mr. Bradley. :cry:

7. OH, that makes me very very sad...

You were a class act, Mr. Bradley. I always looked forward to your stories. RIP, my friend. You will be missed.

8. It's certainly a shame, but...

...I don't see why it's getting top billing over Rumsfeld's speech and Snow's press conference.

I'll pray for his family, but right now I'd rather be hearing more about the other stories.

9. Aw damn! The "news dude"? He was truly wonderful.

Absolutely one of the good guys. Rest In Peace, sir. You inspired a LOT of young people - of color and not.
