"I still maintain my rhetorical question, "If a TV show is broadcast, and no one watches, then was it really ever on the air?"

I love it.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Rather is quite insane.

[You Dirty Rats]

we see it as a sort of magical mystical kingdom of journalistic knights.

"It's only a flesh wound!!"

[Matchett-PI]

"If Midas had the golden touch, what kind of touch does Rather have? Lost his job, lost his night job and appeared on a cancelled show."

But, but, but - he's a "victim" of the VRWC like Hillary - remember???? LOL

[Matchett-PI]

LOL

[colonialhk]

Remember the film Spaceballs?

[MinuteGal]

Ah, yes......the Journalistic Knights of the Scumalot Round Table......Dan Rather being Sir Mordred......'cause that's the feeling I get whenever I know he's going to be on a TV show.

And I'm joust not kidding.

Bears repeating.

This guy wouldn't make a good scab on Brent Hume's ass.

"Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole

I looked in the dictionary and saw Rather's picture there. He's got one up on Adam Clymer. Big time! LOL

[Minnesocold]

Sing along with the minstrel!

Brave Sir Rather

Bravely bold Sir Rather rode forth from CBS
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Rather
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Rather!

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his newsdesk broken
To have his kneecaps split and his career burned away
And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Rather!

His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off
And his contract--
(Rather interrupts): That's... that's... er... enough music for now lads. Looks like there's dirty work afoot.

[Matchett-PI]

I love it! LOL

[the anti-liberal]

Mary Mapes is "the kind of professional that the audience should want in television."

Twilight Zone, Mystistical land of Oz, Cookoo cookoo

This fella has got some serious issues.

[Valin]

Adam who? :-)

[gopwinsin04]

The White Knight that keeps getting his limbs cut off in Monty Python perhaps...

[the anti-liberal]

of the danmed

Dan-med, very good typo... or was it a typo? ;^)

Brent Bozell, Britt Hume

[Valin]

I plead the 5th. :-)

[Doctor Raoul]

Dan got canned and now he's interviewed on a show that's on it's way out.

Hello Dan, reality knocking...
