I agree, he was truly moved. However, he also cried on Letterman after 9/11 and said he stands with President Bush.
Rather gets a glimpse of the good and is drawn to it, I dare say, but is easily swayed to move away from it after the moment has passed.
But again, I agree that his emotion was real.
Big whoopdie crap! Emotions are fine behind a fence and held in check, but the only thing that I see when a grown man emotes in public, is a grown man emoting. Turns my stomach. Dan Rather is a giant pile of phony.
