[Echo Talon]

oh boy... I dont want him dead, I just want him to retire :D

[evad]

fair and balanced...LOL!!!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Did he do the investigation of himself for the show?

[Josef1235]

Sayonara, Dan.

Enuf said.

New anchor: Martin Sheen, a.k.a. "President Josiah Bartlet" of "The West Wing".

CBS would then become LIBERAL BROADCASTING SERVICE - WOO-HOO!

[Bassfire]

Oh I see....Rather considers himself a regular FOREST GUMP!

[Another Thought]

This is a joke, right?

[Another Thought]

I'd watch the FOX News coverage of the Freepers at work outside CBS during that broadcast!


---Good idea -- after all, that is how MSNBC covered the Republican Convention... With Chris Matthews and his buddies out in the middle of Times Squares where they could cover the protesters.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL!

Dan Bla^ther:

50 years of Liberal Bias, BS and Lies .....

Media Research Center:
Dan Ra^ther on Bill Clinton:
"I think he’s an honest man."

   O’Reilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clinton’s an honest man?"
    Ra^ther: "Yes, I think he’s an honest man."
    O’Reilly: "Do you, really?"
    Ra^ther: "I do."
    O’Reilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrer’s face about the Lewinsky case?"
    Ra^ther: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
    O’Reilly: "Well, I didn’t lie to anybody’s face on national television. I don’t think you have, have you?"
    Ra^ther: "I don’t think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, it’s one thing-"
    O’Reilly, jumping in: "How can you say he’s an honest guy then?"
    Ra^ther: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core he’s an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
    O’Reilly: "Really?!?"
    Ra^ther: "Yeah, I do."
    O’Reilly: "See, I can’t. I want my government to be honest across-the-board. I don’t want people lying."

CBS News said on Thursday that an hourlong special, "Dan Rather: A Reporter Remembers," will be telecast on March 9, at 8 p.m. EST...

And on March 9, at 10:00 a.m. EST, Dan will begin anchoring from atop a case of Bud.

[Happy2BMe]

heheh . .

I'm dropping everything just to make time to watch this hysterical event.

[You Dirty Rats]

The man is leading a tribute to himself? What, nobody else wanted the job?

This has the makings of a classic Live Thread" The Dan Rather Roast!

I think they need to show a dark screen for several minutes to remind everyone of the famous incident in Miami.

[Osage Orange]

It remained to be seen how CBS would handle Rather's less flattering moments, such as walking off the set in 1987 after a tennis match pre-empted the start of a newscast, or the jokes he endured after being assaulted on the streets of Manhattan by a man who asked him: "Kenneth, what's the frequency?"

I was very surprised that Rooter's allowed this paragraph to stand.

FRegards,

[Osage Orange]

He reminds me of Frank Burns saying, "On my birthday, my mother would invite 30 kids just to get 4 to show up."

LOL..!!!

Ain't it the truth......

[MadIvan]

Perhaps Rather will go into music making, and be the next William Shatner. A pity Mr. Shatner used up the most appropriate name for Rather's first album:

Regards, Ivan

[Dawgreg]

Thanks for the heads-up Arnold. I'll be sure NOT to watch it!

[cold_dead_fingers]

This is so Clintonesque. A "liberal dose" of self-aggrandizement.
