I think Rather's should be the guest of honor at the Presidents Inaugural Ceremony.

I remember when you were a newbie. I don't remember the thread. But other old timer freepers were being rude to you. And you were posting TRUE things, not anything unusual. Glad you stood your ground and stayed!

I was a nwebie then too and I remember the same thing.

Why are some of Freepers so rude to newbies. When I was new I was subjected to the same thing. Without new members FR will never grow.

His punishment will be similar to Clinton's punishment.

24 years as top dog on a national TV network and all he'll be remembered for is a self-inflicted scandal, thus becoming a large nail in the coffin of the old MSM.

Be happy and gay. Well........... happy anyways. Nothing any of us could devise could be a worse form of torture.

I have nothing brilliant to say here, but just had to get in on the joy on this thread!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Dan, you stayed way too long, but now you've managed to torpedo your alleged journalistic "integrity."

Life is good.

Why next March? What about 10 years ago? Dan Blathers should retire now.

Interesting isn't it - and a question I have to believe is asked by many new people finding their way here - is the goal of this place to expand - or what -

Agree Tonk...on the other hand- just heard on FOX News that apparently the special investigation report is going to be very damning...looks like CBS is about to get hit hard.

Errr...uhhmmm...gee...am unable to work up a smidge of sympathy.

Did you just hear David Blum on FNC? He said the report that is coming out is rumored to be devastating for Dan. Made my heart sing :-) I think this makes me a masochist. Or sadist. I always get them mixed up.

Agree. He'll just use 60 minutes to do his hack work. The old (modified) adage will come to life in spades: Hell has no fury like a (man) scorned".

I think because this is a web Forum, not a Weblog or chatroom. The idea is to link to sources for citations to establish your line of reasoning. Most of us don't learn this until we have been scorched once or twice. <|;>)
