Gee, that's too bad, Dan. Maybe you can get hired on at Air America - at least that way you can promote the liberal agenda without pretending to hide it.

[AmericanMade1776]

We all Know Dan, that it was a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, that brought you down!

[ClarenceThomasfan]

Could you link that thread? I vaguely remember it.

I think it was MindBender.

[AmericanMade1776]

Thanks for the Memories

Cooper will still be with CNN. He's just going to do special segments from time to time. Same as Christine Amanpour does from time to time.

[geezerwheezer]

When rather leaves cBS it will be like a part of me leaving too...like an infected hemorrhoid! Ain't gonna miss you danny boy.

[ Rather, whose contract expires at the end of this year, had hoped to finish his career as a full-time correspondent at "60 Minutes." ]

Theres always "the View"... or nBS..

[AppyPappy]

He's gone

Like Frank Sinatra
Like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino's cash

Long Long Overdue...

So long overdue that CBS will find it near impossible to achieve any credibility with the informed unbrainwashed ...

Cronkite started the turd slide into the toilet, and Dan completed it with a splash...

Semper Fi

Couric continues it with a new wrinkle. Pun intended.

[Fruitbat]

You just have to love this story.

Poor Dan, looking for relevancy after he thought he owned the United States.

Now go to Beijing.

Make it a concert. Throw in "Liar, Liar" by the Castaways [?], "Lies" by the Knickerbockers, "Lyin' Eyes" by the Eagles, "You Can't Lie [to a Liar]", LP cut by the Searchers.

[Plains Drifter]

Hey! Remember how the Danster treated Walter Cronkite when he retired. So long Danny boy, you lying sack of dog crap.

[LachlanMinnesota]

Now he will write his autobiography...That ought to have a bunch of real zingers in it! I'll bet he will tell us all how he single-handledy stood at the bullworks of liberalism to hold of the infidel conservatives.

[Grampa Dave]

Danny Boy, this has to really hurt. In spite of the lies from you and Mapes and the years of lies from ABCNNBCBS and the Dinosaur Fish Wraps:

Gag city...

As for document analysis, it is a mind-numbing and arcane discipline, an imperfect undertaking reserved for courtroom use, not for headlines or Internet political battles. Document analysis is certainly not meant to be done at 11 o'clock at night by someone with no training or experience sitting in front of a glowing computer nursing a grudge and spoiling for a fight. But that's precisely how the right's attack against Dan Rather and CBS News was launched.

"Document analysis is certainly not meant to be done at 11 o'clock at night by someone with no training or experience sitting in front of a glowing computer nursing a grudge and spoiling for a fight."

I remember the thread that busted Dan and Mapes. There most definitely WERE trained, experienced people involved. Gag indeed.
