.... so Rather can devote more time to his role as President of the Clintoon Sycophant Society.

I hope nobody thinks this represents CBS "cleaning up its act".... I suspect they're just looking for a commie with a bit more subtlety.

One of my favorite "Rather stupid" moments. That last sentence is a gem.

BILL O'REILLY: And I want to ask you flat out. Do you think President Clinton's an honest man?

RATHER: Yes, I think he's an honest man.

O'REILLY: Do you really?

RATHER: I think -- I do. I think he's an honest man.

O'REILLY: Even when he lied to Jim Lehrer's face about the (unintelligible)?

RATHER: Listen, who among us have not lied about something?

O'REILLY: Well, I didn't lie to anybody's face on national television. I don't think you have. Have you?

RATHER: I don't think I ever have. I hope I never have. But look, it's one thing--

O'REILLY: How can you say he's an honest guy, then?

RATHER: Well, because I think he is. I think at core, he's an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so. But I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.

--Dan Rather on FNC's O'Reilly Factor May 15, 2001.

That was, IMO, a defining moment in Dan Rather's dubious career.
Somehow, I doubt that ol' Dan would have been so generous with, say -- Richard Nixon.

Bestest friends!!!!!

[TheGrimReaper]

Another high point for Danny.
And let's not forget his lips in full vapor-lock on Castro's a$s.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Who?

[pctech]

Anyone else think this is strangly timed to coincide with the imminent defeat of the dems at next years election???

[FreedomCalls]

Let's bring back J. Fred Muggs!! He was the best morning news show host EVER.

Anybody know who I am talking about?

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

They are going to replace Dan Rather with Terry McAuliffe.

[Redbob]

Oh please let it be true!

But Dan, why wait?
Do us all a favor and quit now!

[Atchafalaya]

Well, AMF!!!

Frankly, I'd find a bear passing gas to be more interesting than anything Devil Dan has had to say.(Of course, I'd like to be in a safe watching area when the bear broke wind)...Aww, c'mon Dan, you were a has-been even BEFORE the fake Southern accent you put on during Election 2000.....
