The truth is: Blather hates the Bush Family. Years ago, there was an incident wwhen Bllather was interviewing Bush
senior: Mr. Bush cleaned his clock!
I remember it well. Bush reminded Rather of how he had walked off the evening news set in the mistaken belief that the network was down and someone needed a rocket from Rather, leaving the the viewers looking at an empty chair for about 5 minutes. I remember how outraged he seemed at the idea that a mere president would have the temerity to question HIS actions. He just sat there saying "Answer the question please... Answer the question please", while Bush senior grinned at him. It was beautiful.
