I wasn’t talking about values. I was talking about their gift for unique phrasing.
ACK and understood. As much as we all rightfully detest Dan Rather, he did emit some humorous lines during election coverage:
"This race is shakier than cafeteria Jell-O."
"The presidential race still hotter than a Laredo parking lot."
"His lead is as thin as turnip soup."
I'm certain that none of the witticisms are actually his. He lacks the brainpower to come up with anything remotely clever of his own volition. More than likely, a real Texan loaded them on the teleprompter and Rather just read them in his ersatz, totally contrived folksy style.
