Political Quotes

“Friday marked the farewell to ``Morning Edition's'' Bob Edwards. PBS's ``Morning Edition'' has become the signature program for public radio across America, giving expression to things about which Americans care the most: war and peace, arts and culture, athletics, the dramas large and small that shape our everyday lives, and the global events that profoundly affect the way Americans look at themselves and others. For 24 rac{1}{2} years, Bob Edwards has been the voice of ``Morning Edition.'' Two generations have grown up with him, four have been profoundly influenced. His has been a voice of civility, reason, thoughtful exchange, and good humor, exactly why most of us are not just devoted fans of public broadcasting, but heavily dependent upon it. Thank you, Bob Edwards, for almost a quarter century of enriching our lives. The last show was poignant and insightful, everything we have come to expect from you. With profound sadness and regret at your departure, we have great expectations about what you will do next. Best wishes, Bob Edwards.”
