What Ms. Chung has accomplished in her career is remarkable. Because I saw her deliver a commencement speech years ago, and came away with the clear impression that she is at best of average intelligence. So to get as far as she has gotten says a lot about her drive.

I have always admired Connie Chung, and thought she was (and still is) beautiful. Maury Povich is one lucky man!

Average intelligence is a stretch, Albert. I think it might be on the lower end of the "average" spectrum. Look who she married. I suppose when you lack brains, drive is the only thing that will get you far. She certainly never learned how to think on her feet...a sheer sign of intelligence.

Connie Chung is Americana and such a big part of the reporting culture in America. She's had a lot of professional disappointments, but will always pop up.

I also saw Connie Chung give a commencement speech. It was as if they had pulled her off the street. She had nothing prepared and spoke in tangents, not a cohesive thought in the whole thing. It was a train wreck.

On Connie's birthday, her husband told random people they weren't the father.

Connie, I have loved you for years, for your integrity, and your ability and your penchant for bringing out the ass in those with whom you put on the spot. I salute you for your efforts, and I hope to see more in the coming years. Maury, I hope you have the balls to keep this lady happy, because she;s tops. If you do, then hats off to you, as well sir. My birthday is also Aug 20, and i enjoy the prospect of sharing it with people of intellect, who might even be willing to chill and have a drink or two with a regular guy.

Cheers to you both. Take care, and best wishes....Bob Osborn
