A real piece of …work. I’m watching See BS this evening to see if it has learned its lesson.

Good Job MRC!

[Jacquerie]

Great post. Never forget.

There is one good thing Rather did, his interview with Toby Keith. But I might be prejudiced. Toby would make any interview good! ;)

Stalin was right about bleeding heart libs:

A useful idiot if there ever was one!

Good riddance!

Jenning's you're next!!!!

Great post thank you.

I will never forget on election night when he gave Ed Bradley the look of death and stared at him like he wanted to maim and kill him. All because Ed gave some numbers showing Bush was going to win Ohio and Rather snickered, Ed Bradley who is not a math professor, only to have Bradley pipe in, "Actually, I used to teach math".

Excellent summary from MRC. Thanks for posting.

[iopscusa]

Missed the Doofus' Rather and his Saddam piece before the 2nd war in Iraq..."will I see you again".
Courage!

Dan, Dan who???

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives without Dan Rather. We can now tack his Day in the Sun to the Television History Board along with Captain Kangaroo's. Praise the Lord and pass the FOX.

This list doesn't even begin the cover the outrageous liberal bias that has gone on under Dan Rather's shody legacy.

Off Subject: Speaking of FOX - They were so overboard and breathless about the Michael Jackson crap this morning, I think my poodle was laughing at them.

[R. Scott]

The list would be long – about one item for every day Blather has been on the air.

“I read the book [My Life by Bill Clinton] completely. And I think it compares very favorably with Ulysses S. Grant’s gold standard of presidential autobiographies.”

— Dan Rather on CNN’s Larry King Live, June 18, 2004.

Grant's Personal Memoirs was about his military career, not his presidency. I doubt that Rather ever even skimmed it.

But I do take Rather at his word that he read My Life completely. It was a book written for idiots.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That's funny.

I met a KGB defector in 1988 or 1989 and he told me that people like Dan Rather, and he mentioned him by name, were USEFUL IDIOTS and in any country that was taken over by the Soviet Union, they would be shot after having served their purpose. "Thank you, Comrad"
...Brrrrrrrrrrrrr - the sound of an automatic weapon. His name was Yuri and he knew.

I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy kicking Rather when he's down.
