... and now for
Touching moments in televised history-
Forbidden Love, rather courts saddam:
(excerpted from Media Research Center)
“Mr. President, I hope you will take this question in the spirit in which it's asked. First of all, I regret that I do not speak Arabic. Do you speak any English at all?”
When Saddam said he could understand some English, Rather insisted: “Well, would you speak some English for me? Anything you choose?”
They joked about liking coffee, but Saddam refused: “Our language is Arabic.”
Rather and Saddam have met two times in their long lives for a total of about four hours. But Rather seemed to want to underline their somehow notable personal relationship as historical figures: “I appreciate your remembering that we met in 1990. And I interviewed you in this very building. Given the sober moment and the danger at hand, what are the chances this is the last time you and I will see each other?”
I am ashamed dan rather is from Texas.
