The Washington Post has repeatedly featured a full-page ad in recent days for a Get Motivated! Business Seminar in Washington in October. One of the big names at the event (alongside Colin Powell, Steve Forbes, and Rudy Giuliani) is disgraced former CBS anchor Dan Rather, teaching "How to Communicate Effectively." Then the ad copy gets ridiculous:
Dan Rather, Legendary News Anchor and Journalist, has covered every major story of the last 50 years, with distinction and a fierce dedication to hard news. He is always ready to deliver the truth the way it is! [Emphasis mine.]
Hello, Better Business Bureau? Someone's misleading the public about Dan Rather's record of "distinction" in trying to sell fraudulent documents about President George W. Bush's military service in the fall of 2004. His "fierce dedication" wasn't to hard news. When his story was exposed as phony, he refused to admit he'd mangled the truth.

T would never trust him. What he says is almost certainly anti-truth.

Important.
Speakers at these “Get Motivated” seminars are not paid, but get to pitch their books, tapes, CDs to audiences of up to 10,000 who attend.
Promoter (Peter Lowe of Tampa) gets a %. So does speaker.
So.......... attend.......... It's free but they will try to sell you a “workbook,” etc. Ignore them.
Take friends. Every time Rather speaks.... everyone laughs. The more serious Rather tries to be, the more you laugh. They can't kick you out for being “entertained.”
It will kill his book sales!

It would almost be worth the cost of the book if you could get Rather to autograph it to Buck Head.
