I can't blame them at all.

Interesting how when Rather was younger he delighted in the downfall of Nixon. Now he inflicts a similar fate on himself.

I know I'm far from the first to point this out. But it's ironic just the same.

I was laughing at the transparent hypocrisy.....considering the MSM does more for the DemoSocialistMarxistLeftistLyingLibs than they do for themselves...but "forbids" employees contributing to political campaigns. Which IMO, is a joke in and of itself...

Suits are still terrified of Rather. Not so much by what he could do with another on-air "wisdom malfunction" (as opposed to a "wardrobe malfunction,) but what he could still pop off and say that would drive even more advertisers away.

My guess would be many might also be afraid of what Rather could say that would expose the depths that the MSM goes to manipulate the sheeple. Not that he will...but that he could.......

FRegards,

Well now, at least your fake but accurate diamond watch is accurate at least two times a day which is a hell of a lot more than Dan (I'd) Rather was. I'm going to miss him like an infected hemorrhoid!

Rather said you can be a liar and still be honest.

Looks like Castro even gave him his shirt. Khaki is just NOT his color.

That frees him up to go to CNN

O'Reilly will invite him on, to visit to share some spin. . .

I have always been of the opinion that Rather was "fired" a year ago, that just gave him 12 months to clean out his desk.

"As i recall, Dan's daughter is a big whig in Texas Democratic politics."

"Big Whig Democrats ..."

Hmmm ... that has such a savory flavor!
