Megabucks real estate mogul Donald Trump, whose patented phrase,"You're Fired," has become the centerpiece of NBC's hit show "The Apprentice," said Sunday that he'd fire CBS News anchorman Dan Rather if he had the chance.
"I would have fired him a long time ago," Trump told "Fox News Sunday." "I would have said, 'Dan, you're fired.'"
The recently remarried gazillionaire went on to elaborate:
"I'm not a big fan of Dan Rather. I don't want to be a fan of Dan Rather. I don't think he's good at the news. I don't think a lot of people think he's good at the news. He was always highly overrated."
Of the Memogate scandal the precipitated Rather's departure this Wednesday from the anchor chair at the "CBS Evening News," Trump said, "It was disgusting the way it was handled by Dan Rather. And I don't know why they're firing other people - he was the head of it. So why aren't they firing Dan Rather?"
The real estate tycoon did admit that he has some personal animus against the retiring newsman.
"He did a report on me that was basically dishonest," Trump told Foxman Chris Wallace "So since then, I don't deal with him."
There you go! LOL
Yes...Well, after Mr. Trump fired Mr. Rather..I would then fire Mr. Trump......They deserve each other as equals.
Rather is going to use his top-notch investigative skills in his retirement.
He will team up with OJ and find 'the real killers'.
Traficant should be beamed out of Allenwood Federal Corrections Institution on 17 JUL 2009. I can hardly wait!
I'd fire both of them. How many Chp 11 filings in the past decade?
You think Donald Trump is a dufus? I can see not liking him, but calling him a dufus? Interesting and says something about your intellect in my opinion.

Now I'm going to sit down with a couple of Golden Coronas and see if Phil Mickleson will hold off Tiger Woods down at Doral. This ought to be pretty great. Vijah Singh is right there too.
Geat idea!
Thanks ... it slipped my little mind completely. ;)
We make fun of Trump, and he laughs all the way to the bank. I doubt whether he cares if anyone likes him or not. He is secure in who he is. And secure enough to speak out against Rather - the object of some liberals/MSM's affection, adoration, and abominable loyalty. Wish others were as secure in themselves to call a spade a spade.
You need to add a couple of 'Michael Jackson' lines to that list ... LOL
there was a front page article in the Houston Chronicle today and i was ready for a barf bag when i finished reading it. Dum Rather still claims that it was never proven that the memos were fakes....and he still takes absolutely no blame for this fiasco. what a pig!
