From the August 27th 2004 Independent News where they were interviewing sheriff candidates:
David Morgan
Who’s your favorite fictional crime fighter?
That’s a tough one. I’m a big comic book guy. Wow. A bunch come to mind. I read a lot of Marvel. Hmm, Superman or Batman? I have to go with Batman.
What do you like doing when you’re not fighting the bad guys?
I like old cars, plastic cars, traveling and I’m a big reader. I’ll read anything I can get my hands on—technical manuals or books. I’m a big history buff. And I like old sayings. The older I get the more I find they’re based in fact. Walker Cronkite said you, “Get the government you deserve.” We need to make sure the people we elect are qualified.
Morgan says he's a big comic book guy and he reads a lot of Marvel. Then says Superman or Batman. If he reads a lot of Marvel and he's a big comic book guy, he would know Batman and Superman are D.C. comics, not Marvel.
Let's skip over the fact he says he likes plastic cars and reads techinical manuals and get to the Walter Cronkite quote. I've searched the internet extensively and no one attributes this quote to Cronkite and none of the quote sites say Cronkite said it. I'd ask Morgan for proof, but I know I wouldn't get any. It seems the quote (or something close) actually came from George Bernard Shaw. If anyone on here can show me where Cronkite said this in any context I'd sure like to see it. Seems Morgan has been spreading B.S. as fact for quite some time...
David Morgan...He's looking better every day :roll: :roll: :roll:
