Dan: " I know I'm a lying, treasonous, pompous, pretentious, flatulent gas bag...... but I'm a tough guy always looking for the big story........ so I'll keep it to myself.

The only reason I stonewalled like Nixon all that time was because there was a connection to Barnes and Burkett with my daughter, Robi........" Oooops! **

I live in northern Michigan and I just checked the site. The poll has been pulled and an apology to CBS and Rather was posted.

Dan: I told Moonves that I would ask John Kerry to sign the 180 form, and he said, "Now you really have to go!"

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Perhaps he'll invite his assailant on to his "retrospective" show and finally answer the question.

Ambush Reporter: "So Dan, could you tell us how it feels to lose your job on account of sloppy reporting, to be humiliated by your former colleagues, and to leave one of the finest jobs a person could ever have at the rock bottom of your career -- with your credibility torn to shreds?"

Dangerous Dan: "Of course, I'm uptight -- tighter than prairie dog's butt in a dust bowl, like my rusted lugs were just twisted off, as if my future at CBS is shakier than cafeteria Jell-O. I don't know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. They beat me like a rented mule."

Thanks… for the memories
Of helping Viet Cong
And supporting all that’s wrong
Of making friends with old Fidel
And siding with Saddam
We thank you so much.

Thanks… for the memories
Of Democrat campaigns
And frying all our brains
With drivel that the DNC had
Passed you to refrain
We thank you so much.

Thanks… for the memories
Of memos forged, and bad
Of experts who were had
Of CBS revealed as such biased
Tools, so sad
We thank you so much.

Good night, everyone!
