"Good Night and Good Luck, George Clooney's tribute to Ed Murrow and the groundbreaking television reporting of the 50s. He is said to have seen it five times."

Here's hoping Dan does a cameo in the sequel: "Goodbye and Good Riddance"

The destruction of Dan Rather was a pleasure to watch because the same fate awaits the current Democrat Party at the polls this year and in 2008. Rather was a traitor found out by the American people. As a side bar Katie Couric will follow the same path. She is done and doesn't know it. The current Democrat Party is also a traitor to these United States, and with each passing day the American voting public gets real scoop on the treasonous Democrats.

Yes, Rather was offered that job by Mark Cuban, the "odd" owner of the Dallas Mavericks...ugh.

The real question in in mind is... if a tree doesn't fall in the woods, will Dan Rather still get a Fax from Kinkos saying it did.

As per audience I would say the rivalry is now between Dan Rather on his cable station and Al Gore on his station. The ratings winner will be determined exclusively by which station Tipper watches (unless of course their up against teletubbies and she defects).

I "borrowed" it from somewhere; had it since that old scandal broke. Feel free to use it. :)

Rather, who is in negotiations with the HDNet channel to front a weekly interview programme, has spent much of his recent downtime watching the film Good Night and Good Luck, George Clooney's tribute to Ed Murrow and the groundbreaking television reporting of the 50s. He is said to have seen it five times.

George Clooney persuaded Cuban to co-finance Good Night, and Good Luck, earning him executive producer status.

This is the journalism equivalent of a former heavyweight boxing champion becoming a "greeter" at a casino!

Eat crap & die Dan!

It would be interesting to see how the Guardian characterized the Cuban-promoted new job if Mark Cuban were the owner of Man United FC (instead of the other American Owner). Then the Brits would know what an odd owner was all right. And heaven only knows what Cuban would be yelling at FIFA officials.

What is that? Never heard of it. Guess that suits him, though, since no one watched him anyway.

Great! just what we need, Dans wrinkly lying old puss in high def. Courage indeed!

Now I'm really howling.

Honey, let's hold off on the high-def until after Dan melts down for good?
