I don't like this image, because it remembers Nixon's resignation. However, I understand you intentions. Thanks.

"When a man is close to tears discussing his work and his lip quivers, he deserves bosses who punch back. I feel I would punch back for Dan," she said.

What a wuss. But then again, that's the liberal way ala Bill Clinton; the touchy-feely feminization of men.

Rather probably does need a woman to fight for him.

Neumayr fails the economy test; what Will makes easy and Buckley spins, not just the page but your brain, they each have one redeeming feature, words are their friends.

Unfortunately, most people have gone beyond reading in this increasingly tactile society, Rather got whomped by the biggest blade on his own, personal windmill.

We ought just cover him where he lay.

Dan's as irrelevant as hell, and he's not going to take this anymore!

A child cries loudly when you take away his lollipop, too. This should be surprising to noone.

While like all conservatives I'm delighted with the growth of conservative voices to counter the left media dictators, the sad fact is that liberal voices still dominate...by far. Most of the coverage of Katrina was either openly hostile or thinly veiled criticism of Bush. Very little of the reportage I assayed had negative comments for Blanco or Nagin. The average American i.e ignoramus was left to assume that the federal gov is the primary and probably only responder to a disaster. The ignorati believe what is fed to them by the still anti-conservative/Republican Big Media. We still have a long way to go to counter the still overwhelming liberal media bias.

Dear Dan,

Your 15 minutes of fame is up. If you want to keep the clock ticking then you might try for a slot with The Surreal Life.

PS: You are stuck on stupid.

In fact, a climate of fear is what we had before. Rather misses the days when everybody was afraid of him and his colleagues.

According to Reuters, he fought back tears on Monday

Does Dan seem to cry all the time these days? What's up with that?

He cries more than Jimmy Swaggart making an appeal for caasshh!

What a shame. Now that reporting false news is out, they'll have to fall back on ignoring anything that doesn't fit their agenda.

"Speaking at Fordham alongside Rather, reports Reuters, was Sheila Nevins, an HBO documentary chief. She, too, misses the days when Rather could pass off propaganda as news and management would clap him on the back. "When a man is close to tears discussing his work and his lip quivers, he deserves bosses who punch back. I feel I would punch back for Dan," she said."

With this lady and punching, and the moonbat Senator in Louisiana, they sure have become a violent bunch lately haven't they?

Maybe this is how they handle the decline of their influence.

Yes, "fear" in the sense of cockroaches skittering away when a light is turned on, using Rush's old "shining the light of truth" on these liberal has-beens. They hate it that anyone with a computure can be a fact checker now. After the abysmal gaffs of the msm in covering Katrina, it is more apparent than ever that they are losing it "big time" (VP Cheney...God bless him.)
