Harry Smith wants Dan's job--that's what this is, I bet. And he wouldn't be a terrible choice really. People know him and recognize him--and some even like him (not me). CBS could do a lot worse if the chose pretty boy John Roberts.

Now if we could only get Sandy the Burglar back in the news, it really pisses me off the way that episode just disappeared.

Good for you, Harry.

If CBS really wanted to keep the ship from sinking they'd try to get someone like Brian Lamb to anchor something.

I kind of like the idea of having someone new every week. I'll bet management could get an endless parade of guest hosts who would do a week for no pay.

But, what the hell do I know?

I was hoping they would get Bill O'Reilly, that way I'd never have to see him again.

Yeah, that would be one week I wouldn't watch for sure.

I looked it up locally. Fox News Sunday is still on at 9AM my time. I guess he was referring specifically to Boston
(Howie Carr's base).

Anyway, it's followed by a behind the scenes look at the Superbowl broadcast prep, Untold Superbowl
stories, Tony Hawk (skateboarding?), Best Damn..., and finally the 4 hour pre-game.

Smith is tolerable, though I would prefer Scott Pelley if the replacement comes direct from CBS.

John Roberts is a definite no-no.

Sorry, but this is still utter bullcrap. What Rather & co. did was to fabricate evidence in order to subvert a U.S. Presidental election. This isn't mere libel or slander. This is sedition, if not treason. The entire CBS News organization should be under a full-bore RICO investigation by the Justice Department. Dan Rather's retirement plans should involve learning how to earn extra Twinkies for good behavior at SuperMax.

I agree. If Fox News had fabricated documents on sKerry's military record there would be several dozen Congressional investigations, the FCC would yank their license and people would be going to prison. Ratherbiased and company got less than a slap on the hand.

Meanwhile, the Democrats have no idea what the American people mean by moral values.

The only way I would EVER watch CBS for anything would be if they hired Ann Coulter to do the Evening News---

Heck! ..w/ Ann Coulter Editing/Anchoring (while gaining #1 in news rating, no more B.S.) the CBS News, I would tape almost every segment. ..any pic? you know the rules. :)

And since they are primarily news readers, what does "stupid" have to do with it? (Jon Stewart)
