When hate looms larger in one's psyche; than a respect for truth; yes. . .there is a spiritual 'suicide'; and that is sad.
Given Rather's hate-filled intentions, however; there is nothing sad about his aim; a misguided sleight-of-hand - back on himself.
Rather has never gotten over how Bush 41 bitchslapped the hell out of him during an interview back in '88.
Danny boy's been a mess ever since.
