So Long Ed....

ED BRADLEY (1941 - 2006)

CBS 60 Minutes Correspondent Ed Bradley has died at the early age of 65...65 that is so young and the age group of my parents. It seems just like yesterday that Bradley was just placed on the long running T.V. news magazine, with Mike Wallace, Morley Safer and Harry Reasoner. I guess the one interview that really stuck out for me is his interview with Michael Jackson on his recent criminal court case.

Bradley seemed almost repulsed by Jackson, after a seemingly "I'll take you by the hand" interview. Bradley had asked Jackson, why a forty - five year old man, would share his bed with children thats not his and why is that not a problem..Jackson reply was that he did not see a problem with it....Another interview that Mr. Bradley did was almost two weeks ago in regard to the Duke University alleged rape case. Where one of the strippers said on the 60 Minutes, she doubts anything happened and the accounts of the alleged rape victim are false. Bradley seemed bothered by the stripper, but somehow got her to say that some type of racial ephitet was used while they were leaving the alleged rape scene.

The one thing that stuck out by Ed Bradley was that he was old skool cat, who wore an ear ring and made it cool for a guy his age to sport it.....

So long Ed.....
