The odious Rather has always been anti-Republican, way back from the Nixon days: Nixon: "Are you running for something?" Rather: "No sir, are you?"
Then his confrontation with Bush 41 when Dad asked Rather if he wanted his entire career to be judged on the time he threw a tantrum and walked off the set.
Rather HATES the Bush family - I think it's partly his innate knee-jerk liberalism, and there may be a "Texas" element added in there, too.
Please please........tell me where I can read this transcript of between Bush One and Rather? Somehow, I keep missing that full story.
I'd pay money to see the video, lol.
