They just talked about it on FNC. It seems a Fox reporter tracked Rather down at D/FW international airport. He had just arrived and was heading to his limo.
Supposedly the Fox reporter asked him how it felt to be duped.
ALSO- I am wondering what Rather is doing here. Is he in Texas to interview Burkett? Was the interview with the 80+ year old, "I'm a yellow dog democrat" lady not shameless enough?
D/FW is not too far away from where I live.
I would have loved to meet him at the gate...and... have a 'discussion' about his bias hit piece.
I would have also informed him that Texans are ashamed that RATher came out of Texas.
I wish you'd known too and would have followed him. He's got something up his crooked sleeve.
bttt
The worst part of Rather is that he thinks he is right and the world is wrong - Joe Stalin and Adolph Hitler were like that.
He might be giving his daughter "a ticket to ride" out of the country. Or.... are the Cowboys in town?
I'm suspecting he's here to meet with Mary Mapes, the producer of the memogate segment on 60 Minutes II.
Dan has some cajones to walk through DFW International. Folks applaud the military personnel who pass through the terminals. I can only imagine the kind of grief the decent people there would give to traitor Dan.
"ALSO- I am wondering what Rather is doing here. Is he in Texas to interview Burkett?"
Fox had someone on earlier this morning who said he was there to try to get Bill B. to go on camera and tell which docs are real and which are nt
I saw it earlier. Rather takes a shot at Fox News. He didn't seem to happy with the intrusion, but he was at least courteous.
IS THAT TRUE...is he really going to interview Burkett?
Burkett has been discredited several times. He has had to retract that charges he has made against Bush in the past.
GEEZ...
Rather just does not know when to quit.
GIVE IT UP DANNY, all of them are fake.
If Rather is really going to interview this guy...than he just outed his source.
And CBS has officially lied about it.
According to the Washington Post, Rather and the CBS nres VP Ms. West flew to Dallas yesterday to meet with their source (Burkett).
I've seen it a couple of times. Rather was oh so polite, but he wouldn't answer any questions and took a pot shot at FOX.
What did the ghoul say about Fox?
splendid! 60 Minutes style "ambush" piece, camera and reporter walking along with Newsreader Rather until he retreats into a limo. It was GREAT to see him on that side of the lens!!!!!
Reporter asks Rather if he was duped! Ha!
reporters need to use watergate verbiage, like "stonewalling" "modified limited hangout" "twisting slowly in the wind" lol, lol!!!!
He learned the tricks of the trade through years of being a "gotcha!" artist.
He thanks the FOX newsman for his time while Rather walks briskly away. He tells the FOX reporter to "watch yourself, be careful" when they approach an automatic door.
Rather learned long ago that if they can film you losing your cool---you look like an mean idiot who has something to hide.
Rather managed to appear as a polite idiot who has something to hide.
Rather responded with some thing like.....
No.....do you since being hired by FOX? or something close to that.
I had heard about this, and got the distinct impression that this is the 60 Minutes program for this evening, another interview with Mr. Burkett.
Mr. Rather keeps making an ass of himself, the story about Bush, even if it were true ain't worth a spit. And the fact that it was proven to be phony, makes it worth even less.
Yet, Mr. Rather can't let it go.
Pitiful, and painful to watch Rather self immoliate like this.
"You're traveling through another dimension,
a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind;
a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are
that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead-
- your next stop . . .
The Twilight Zone!"
Someone mentioned it on FR, I think. That might even be how Fox found out.
