Did you notice that at the very end Rather stuck his tongue into his cheek? Really hard! I took it that Rather was putting on a big act as he was reading copy what was likely written ages ago in the event of Reagans death.

I saw him do the thing with his mouth at the end and it was very odd.

He was trying to dampen the transmissions that emanate from his fillings.

Yes, I noticed Dan flick his tongue up inside of his cheek as he collected himself to sign off. I think that was the result of cotton-mouth. Looks like his throat just dried up.

What Rather said last night was very moving. I don't think his reaction was contrived at all. Maybe if all of my fellow Freepers had actually seen the piece, then they would agree that it wasn't faked or taped months ago.

I hope you are wrong. Putting the tongue into the back of the cheek and slowly sliding it forward along the inside of the cheek is the actor's trick to keep from laughing. It really works.

It's called fighting off tears! You guys -- all of you pissing on Rather -- just kill me. This was a beautiful moment. In seeking to diminish Rather, you just diminish yourselves.
