Rather 'made his bones' in that one White House press conference when Nixon asked him if he was running for political office, and Rather shot back, "No, are you?!"
Really catchy, huh, but the liberal media made a hero out of him for that stupid reply because their Watergate lynching was on. It made his career.
In his denial this morning Rather sure sounded like Nixon. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I read it.
"I want to make clear to you, I want to make clear to you if I have not made clear to you, that this story is true."
Pretty good Nixon imitation if you ask me.
