Well I know why one I’d rather be contemplating. :-)

Gee, if Rather wanted to know all about Iran-Contra, why didn't Rather just ask John Kerry?
Rather has been consistently against every republican in high office, starting with Richard Nixon.
Oh, I know :) But I still wonder why he just didn't ask John Kerry, who was running his very own little Iran-Contra investigation.
Thanks for posting this.
Not too shabby for Reagan, given his oncoming affliction.
This just proves my point to myself in that the spirit overcomes the vehicle in which it resides.
While that may partially work for me, clearly Ronald Reagan was annointed to continue his mission until the end.
LOLOLOL!!!
Kind of off-topic, but can anyone refer me to a good book or article that can fill me in on the whole Iran-contra scandal? I'm afraid I really don't know a lot about it other than the major media spin and I would like to find out the whole story. Thanks.
BTTT
When you believe you are bigger than you really are...you become a fool. In Rather's case...an OLD fool trying to look young. His time has come. He is finished and so are brokaw, jennings and their ilk. They are old hat.
There are too many young guns out there (real young guns who don't need BOTOX AND PLASTIC SURGERY TO LOOK YOUNG)...they ARE YOUNG!!! They will forge ahead and they have many, many outlets that allow them to do just that. No one NEEDS the networks anymore. They just don't! It's bye, bye to the stale, stuffy, mothball arrogance of those network anchors. Guess they want to keep their jobs forever and not let anyone else have a career. Yes, good name for them. Anchors. Holding everything down and going nowhere!
All I can say after all the nasty, classless and unprofessional behavior they have all directed towards others is: "GOOD RIDDANCE and don't let the door hit you in the rear end on your way out."
This just proves my point to myself in that the spirit overcomes the vehicle in which it resides.
Why would his oncoming affliction have affected him at that time? If I recall the timing correctly, he wasn't diagnosed with even the earliest signs of Alzheimer's until mid-1994, which was a good 6 years after he had left office.
BINGO!!!!! That was a goodie!
Reagan was not the first official to mistake emissaries from Iran for "dissidents" -- it's a ploy the mullahs have used over and over again, though that was one of the first times.
bump for later...
Rather got famous bitching about Vietnam and when it ended, Nixon was his next target. That was about the time when the news became opinion and advocacy. It started the trend where the anchor would come on before the president's speech and announce what he was going to say. Started a whole new genre.
Under Fire by Oliver L. North.
Bob, I wouldn't know.
Do you think Alzheimer's strikes suddenly? I should have written ongoing, rather than oncoming.
Where I was going with this is that I believe that once President Reagan's body died, he experienced release and his spirit regained full facillity.
Nothing to argue about.
Cohen would only say that the conclusions were unclear about whether Reagan knew.....blah blah blah.
What do you expect from someone who posed for pics with Castro and Saddam? If Osama gives an exlusive interview Rather will be the first reporter on his knees.
