Dan Rather loses it (Free Republic Mentioned)

Dan Rather, the CBS anchor who is well past his sell-by date, was verging on losing it in the early morning hours of November 3. Ed Bradley had carried out a mathematical calculation that showed that George W. Bush needed only to obtain 15 per cent of Ohio’s absentee and provisional ballots to win the state and the presidency. A visibly upset Rather then came out with one of his famous Danisms--just because a chicken has wings, doesn’t mean it can fly.

In a poignant comment, Bradley defended himself by saying that he wasn’t making the math up--the figures came from Republicans in Ohio. This is what the mainstream media has degenerated into--a journalist forced to admit that he’s reporting something and not making it up.

The Dan just couldn’t bring himself to consider the possibility that George W. Bush could win Ohio and a second term. And when Rather next called upon Bradley, he introduced him as “Ed Bradley who is not a mathematics professor”. Bradley then piped up that he did in fact teach math at one point in his life.

Dude, that piece is not my work. It is by a group called the Evolution Control Committee out of Columbus, OH. They created the piece based on music samples from AC/DC's "Back in Black" with a vocal track composed of phrases spoken by Gunga Dan on the CBS Evening News. You can download it for free (and read about their copyright battle with CBS) here: http://evolution-control.com/cbs.html The ECC are leftie dingdongs in general but some of their stuff is pretty great. "Rocked By Rape" is their masterpiece. It simply must be heard. I set a videotape to record CBS as I headed out to election night parties Tuesday. When I got home much later all soused and flush with (apparent) victory, I played the tape and watched Dan flailingly trying to keep hope alive while the ECC played in the background. Then I went to bed and slept like a baby.

"...Then I went to bed and slept like a baby."

I can understand why! And thanks for the link.

Actually, I worked at a poultry during my colleges and I have seen pellets, young chickens, fly 20 yards and more, and pretty gracefully, but then they get old and fat and can't do much of anything.

Residual effects from the following experience may explain Rather's tenuous hold on reality.

"I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it," Rather told the Ladies Home Journal in 1980. "The experience was a special kind of hell."

One of the many great American traditions under attack by the looney left is the annual chicken flynig contest at the county fair.

They just better not mess with dwarf bowling.

I heard Tony Snow say they could run 70% for President Bush...

I'll have to take your word for cBS tv news but I can tell you that list comes straight from their twisted sister, cBS RADIO News . The local affiliate carries Conservative Talk here on the North West Coast of Kollyfawnia and it takes 45 minutes of Rush or Sean to offset the 5 minutes of hate at the top of the hour...

I think that maybe whoever you pinged must have ducked and you hit me instead.

Hey Hanoi Kerry

The BEST is yet to come from Viet Nam Vets!

WAIT till America knows the REAL truth about you!

Your "honorable discharge" is as phony
as your Purple Hearts and your other phony medals!

You and the MSM are traitors to the American public!

Go to France you scum! And take the MSM with you!

THEN the MSM can't try and "fix" another
election with their phony polls.

---

Yes, Nov 2 was a great battle victory!
But the war is NOT over.
I've seen on TV and heard on the Radio
attacks about Swift Boat Vets AFTER the election.
And what liars they are.
So closure is NOT going to happen for Viet Nam Vets, yet.
Time to expose Hanoi Kerry in the MSM once and for all!
Then Viet Nam Vets will FINALLY be vindicated.
THEN it will be over!

DON'T LET THIS STORY DIE!

THE story that
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
DON'T WANT AMERICA TO KNOW!

John Kerry's Discharge
He won't sign Form 180
What is he hiding?

Ex-Navy sec to Kerry: Open up your records
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41230

NY Sun 11/01/04
Kerry's Discharge Is Questioned by An Ex-JAG Officer

http://www.nysun.com/article/4040

"There is overwhelming evidence that the Navy gave John Kerry either a dishonorable discharge
or an undesirable discharge – which is the equivalent of a dishonorable discharge
without the felony conviction – and that, as a result of such discharge,
he was stripped of all of his famous but questionable Navy awards and medals.

And the kicker? The evidence is on his website!"

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41200

BUT
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
made sure you knew about the Bush phony National Guard documents.

Q) Why did
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
NOT ask Kerry about why he wouldn't sign Form 180?

A) Because they are AFRAID of the REAL story!

This is FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!

Nothing like watching two ancient news dudes duke it out.

[ladyinred]

Ah danny boy. I have seen chickens fly.

[antisocialista]

Listen up Dan - "Can you hear that knocking. knock, knock, knock, George Bush is Knocking on the door of reelection."

And obsurity is knocking on the door for you.

[King Prout]

Dan pretends to be a good ole boy.
if he really was one he'd know something: chickens CAN fly.
not well, no, and not that far.
Better than the Wrights did at Kitty Hawk, though.

[libs_kma]

Thank goodness that one of the three people watching him was one of the good guys so they could report back what he said.

[daddyOwe]

I think Dan watched too many Foghorn Leghorn toons. I have never seen him fly.

[AmericanMade1776]

If Dan had an ounce of truth to his news, he could fly.

[Dawgreg]

Me too! LOL

[Dawgreg]

Then my Daddy could have been a folksy news caster. He leaves Blather in the dust when it comes to down-home sayings. He was a champion!

We are NOT a BLOG, we are a Bulletin Board.

Reminds me of the old SNL skit from SNL The Funny Years... John Belushi was meeting a girl's dad. He asked if he was in a gang. Belushi said "It isn't a GANG, it's a CLUB!

[AmericanMade1776]

Maybe Free Republic is not a Blog, or Bullentin Board, but a Club. :-)
