NEW YORK (AP)-Dan Rather has gone digital. Dan Rather has gone boutique. Returning to television with "Dan Rather Reports," his new weekly magazine, he will now be available in just the four million satellite and cable homes reached by media mogul Mark Cuban's high-definition channel HDNet.

But that's behind him now. So are his final, stormy years at CBS News, when he (and others) suffered the aftershocks of his discredited "60 Minutes Wednesday" report on President George W. Bush's military service that aired in 2004. The resulting scandal led to his departure from the "Evening News" anchor chair and, 15 months later, his exit from the network.

Some of the hits he took were deserved, he says, while the rest - well, that story ignited a firestorm that almost ruined Rather's reputation.

"Almost" ruined his reputation? I mean, what more do you have to do?

Do you have to get blowjobs from fat 21 year old interns while in the Oval office?

Hmmm, nope that won't do it.

From what I have seen, Mark Cuban is nuttier than squirrel turds.
