Ah-ha! So it was AIDS... Well then, that makes Brian Williams a real fucking asshole in my opinion. What a smug fucking dick to say something THAT tasteless about a classy guy like Bradley... On his end, he did actually cover his intention of calling him a 'AIDS infested faggot' by saying that Bradley's WIFE and KIDS were in his thoughts. Can we vote out primetime anchors? I just vommitted.

He died of the "80s New York Bathhouse" disease -- or at least is the word around town...

Also, the UFO graffiti truck atop this page is a beautiful sight...I say god bless you, you dirty, ink-stained giant of public art, you!

AND NOW...for the conspiracy: Last night, when signing off, I couldn't help but here some ominous portence in Brian williams comment: "Ed Bradley, a very private man in a very public profession..." What does that mean? It almost sounded like a bit of a barb. Like a hint. Like maybe there was something more to his private life that Williams (and others) knew. Hmmmm...so my 0veractive imagination took hold, and I couldn't help but wonder what I always wonder about public figures who die young...of disease...that affects your immune system...the opposite of leukemia so to speak...hmmmm... Could it be?

I bumped into him having dinner at Sylvia's awhile back. A classy cat and a solid reporter. He will be missed.

This is very sad news. I grew up watching "60 Minutes" because my parents tuned in every Sunday after dinner. My dad loved Ed Bradley. Bradley was the epitome of sophistication and journalistic integrity and intelligence. May his soul rest in peace.

I remember my parents watching "60 Minutes" every Sunday growing up, and they always liked his segments. As I grew up, I always enjoyed watching his segments, when I actually watched "60 Minutes" He will be missed.
