The best recent Rather line is from Don Imus. He suggested watching Dan Rather on the evening news is like watching someone do a hostage tape.

Hmmm. Might could find some other interesting stuff in there on Dan Blather. Worth a look-see.

Hey, I LIKE Howie Mandel! He's even funnier than his sister, Barbara.

This is hilarious. Everybody but the masses has known of Dan's embellishments for years.

I don't think Letterman was accusing Dan of making up stories. I think the humor was how preposterous it would be for a newsman to tell his audience he's been just bullsh!++!ng the whole time.

You're optimistic. I think it has been ok by the libs out there for a long time certainly since Nixon to use the news to promote their agendas. Embellishments may not be out right lies necessarily, but they're certainly misleading spins and half truths which in some ways are worse than bald faced lies.
