Dan Rather severs his ties with CBS (sniff! sniff!)

MSNBC.com ^ | June 20, 2006 | Associated Press

[StJacques]

Let's say goodbye to Dan everyone.

[Buffettfan]

He is truly a liberal ‘reporter’s reporter.

[SF Republican]

“There will always be a part of Dan Rather at CBS News,” - I guess the toilets are backed up.

[Republican Wildcat]

Cue "Thanks for the memories..."

[Holicheese]

Nah, he did a top decker before he left.
The janitor is going to be pissed!

[MeanWestTexan]

"There will always be a part of Dan Rather at CBS News,”

I was thinking he lost his hair piece.

[wideawake]

He went out as well as we could have ever hoped for:

Humiliated on national TV.

Professionally disgraced.

Exposed as incompetent and partisan.

Marginalized by the company for which he worked for decades.

Ignominiously pushed out by people he had always thought were his friends and allies.

Remember, this is a guy who arrogantly refused to perform a broadcast and forced CBS to put on dead air, all in response to a perceived slight.

He's got to be eating hsi heart out over this situation.

[South40]

Someone needs to light a match.

[Jumpmaster]

"Dan Rather, the hard-charging anchorman who "

Puff piece giveaway.

[conservative in nyc]

Courage, Dan. Courage.

[MaineVoter2002]

CBS with Dan Rather was nothing more than the cBS version of Hannity & Colmes without the Hannity.

But will he wear a cocktail dress and sing on a piano?

[Texas dog]

"There will always be a part of Dan Rather at CBS News"

Everytime somebody fakes an expense account, makes up a phony story, or otherwise concocts a fradulent document, his memory will be honored...

[Michael.SF.]

[Doogle]

ADIOS!!

Doogle

[MineralMan]

[wagglebee]

[wouldntbprudent]

whose final months were clouded by a discredited story on the president’s military service

Wow, even the AP writes that the story was "discredited"?

Hell. Freeze. Over.

[KarlInOhio]

He has said he is considering an offer to do a weekly show at the HDNet high-definition network.

Dan Ra^ther should work for the LDNet low-definition network. It will be harder to identify which typeface he is using.

[wouldntbprudent]

Yeah, you're right. When the collective vast right-wing conspiracy started years ago with "Rather Biased" and so on, I doubt we ever really thought we'd see this day and see it so splendidly.

Well done, friends, well done!
