Peter Jennings Signs Off

ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings has been reassigned to the Celestial Bureau, a victim of lung cancer. He was yet another casaulty of 9/11. After kicking a 30-year smoking habit in the 1980s, he resumed his friendship with tobacco due to the pressures of reporting during the 9/11 crisis. News colleagues are praising him as "the best ever." Which probably makes Dan Rather wish he died first. Or at least prior to AirForceNationalGuardGate.
