Dan Aykroyd is James J. Kilpatrick

James J Kilpatrick
Like most of you (old enough to remember), news of James J. Kilpatrick's death Sunday caused me to recall his  60 Minutes segment Point-Counterpoint, with Liberal Shana Alexander.  I'm frankly surprised not to find any video, given its popularity.  Later, Saturday Night Live parodied it, with Dan Aykroyd and Jane curtain playing the roles.  There wasn't much to distinguish the two from one another.  Enjoy.

Thank you!
Good grief, I needed a laugh.

I wondered what became of Kilpatrick since the 60 Minutes days. He was a man of words well chosen, and we were lucky to have him as one of a series of thoughtful, bright, conservative editors of our local newspaper.

Don't forget it was parodied in the movie "Airplane", too.

(Yes its one of the movies I have memorized.)
