If you have Walter Cronkite in your death pool …

Not Higgins.… then you and Uncle Walter might both be cashing in soon, although with very different meanings.

According to a report taken from Mediabistro and run amok in almost every other online news source, famed news broadcaster, Walter Cronkite, is “ailing.” To translate: being 92 years-old sucks, but to be 92 years-old and ailing is worse (if you’d believe it).

Since he’s a famous person dying of natural causes, we’re hoping he’ll have some cool last words, maybe even his closing line from his broadcasts, “And that’s the way I was.”

In Other News: Walter Cronkite is still alive.
