As usual, Steyn had Rathers number even back in his pre-forgery days when, for Dan, the future looked bright and unclouded.

He takes a cab in Chicago and half an hour later he's hanging out the window screaming at pedestrians that the driver's kidnapped him.I've never heard about this. Does anyone know the details?

Dan Blather & See B.S. were "punked"...
and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody from the GOP dropped them off!
Blather bought those bogus docs quicker than a drunken sailor in front of a $5 ho house!!!
And now the senile ol' fool and See B.S. have less credibility than a screen door on a submarine!!!

I've never heard about this. Does anyone know the details? Evidently for some reason he refused to pay the cab driver the $10 or so for the fare, and the cabbie refused to stop, in an effort, I suppose, to get him to pay.

So, what did happen when his contract ran out in 2002? How much is the network on the hook for with this guy?

Its a typica Steyn riot.. thanks for the ping, darling..
To: finnigan2
It may be that, when his contract's up in 2002, Dan gets renewed for another 20 years. Or it may be that this strange new world war is his swansong, one grand finale for Mister Hard News.HUH? Isn't it 2004 now?

He sounds like he should have Jack Klugman as a roommate and an ex-wife named Gloria.
To: finnigan2
But Dan's feeble blustery defense on Friday night must be one of the most shameful episodes in the history of network news.There is no question about it, feeble is the most appropriate word one can use in describing Rather.

CBS viewers should enjoy it while they can. Dan's likely successor is John Roberts, a male mannequin who was previously a video-jock at a rock-music channel in Toronto. As Dan would say: Courage.Notice how the media has to go to Canada to find newscasters who are liberal enough?

The DNC should be ashamed of themselves for pushing this noble man out in front in the twilight of his career, and make him say things he doesn't really understand.
