To celebrate Dan's departure, folks in the Big Ezy will be partying on Wednesday, March 9th from 5 to 6:15 PM at the Veterans' Memorial Park across from Lakeside Shopping center in Metairie, Louisiana. The Pelican Pachyderm Club and friends, including FReepers Patriot1 and Newslady, will be participating in a DAN RATHER "RETIREMENT" PARTY/JAZZ FUNERAL FOR LIBERAL BIAS IN THE MEDIA.
We will be second-lining and celebrating to the accompaniment of a New Orleans brass band. To add to the atmosphere and to draw attention to this event, there will be fire truck and vintage police car.
I know what you mean. Not only have I not watched Dan Rather since 1988, I haven't watched any of the major network news shows since Fox came to New Orleans about four or five years ago. And I think I have a lot of company in this.
It doesn't appear that Dan is playing with a full deck. What a loser!
The only thing that is surprising is that this figure isn't 100%!
All of the above.
What a hoot! Thanks for letting us know about this.
I can't remember if I sighed
When I read about his desperate try
But something touched me deep inside
The day Dan Rather lied
LOL! What a great find! Hilarious, and they've got a great photo of Gunga Dan up there too. I am really glad I missed that one, or I would really have thought I lost my mind. Maybe, MAYBE, Geraldo could've pulled that fashion faux pas off.
It's amazing, how the leftist elites in this country are so addled that they let really mentally unbalance people rise to such high positions.
Can you listen to their show online? PC Fridays looks hysterical!
Get it on!! Party like it's March 9th, 2005, for the biased-anchor formerly known as Dan Rather..
"This is Dan Rather, signing off...DOH!"
Have a great time tonight. We'll be whoopin' it up in Phx too!
Here's a couple of songs to help you celebrate:
DANNY BOY
A conservatives tribute to Dan Rather
Upon his retirement, March 9, 2005
Oh, Danny Boy, the mikes, the mikes are silent
As one by one the lights are dimming down.
The time has come for you to leave the anchor desk,
Say your goodbyes, and take that final bow.
Chorus:
The news elite are showring you with accolades.
They try to keep from shedding tears of grief,
But there are millions far across the fruited plains
Who must admit were not so sad to see you leave.
Youve covered all the most important world events,
From hurricanes to fighting in Beruit,
But when you tried to trash our current president,
You went too far and meddled with the truth.
Chorus:
So as you slither off into the shadows,
Well raise this song, for we want you to know,
Weve had our fill of liberal lies and scandals;
Oh, Danny Boy, it brings such joy
To see------ you------- go!

BYE, BYE, RATHER
(Tune of Bye-Bye, Blackbird)
Rather, Rather, reading the news each day
Right outside of our doors
Rather, Rather, we are all here to say,
We cant take any more
All through the years you have hung around;
Now it appears you are homeward bound.
Rather, Rather, were gonna celebrate
Brighter days are in store!
Chorus:
So pack up all your microphones,
There you are, going home
Bye Bye, Rather!
After all your clever lies,
It should be no surprise,
Bye, Bye, Rather!
Did you really think you could deceive us?
Now it is the time for you to leave us.
Grab your things, theres the door,
Dont wanna see your face no more.
Rather, Bye Bye!
Rather, Rather, thought you were very smart
Breaking all of the rules
Rather, Rather, you knew down in your heart,
Youd be playing the fool,
Far to the left you went pandering
And now your you-know-whats in a sling
Rather, Rather, when will you ever learn
That we value the truth? (Chorus)
Rather, Rather, thought you were nearly there,
What a media god!
Rather, Rather, while you were unaware,
Bloggers started to blog.
While you were maintaining your innocence,
Your reputation got up and went.
Rather, Rather, you never had a prayer,
Now youre out of a job! (Chorus)

Wish I could be there. But I'll send my "not at all fond" wishes to Danny boy, where ever he is pouting.
Take lots of pictures to post later.
Liberal bias in the media is not dead. Peter Jennings is still there. Dan Rather down Jennings next.
Courage!
Classic!
