Good riddance!

Rather was willing to carry the CBS anti-American agenda.

Much like MSNBC they brought no honor or prestige to the airwavs but rather provided an avenue for hate rhetoric against republicans in general and this president in particular.

I always enjoyed watching Dan during elections to see what lunatic analogies he would come up with. It was kinda like watching a traffic accident, or a bull riding contest, or listening to Casey Stengel. No telling what lunacy would ensue.

Good night Mrs. Calabash, where ever you are.

(And you too, Dano.)

What is funny is Andy Rooney said at the time Rather was removed as Anchor the Evening News exactly what was going to happen to him.

Rooney said, I think on Larry King, that Rather would be promised 60 minutes and he might get a segment or two then no more.

That is exactly what happened. If Rather didn't know what the suits at CBS were doing, then how did Rooney know.

Surely Rather must have learned what Rooney said on national TV.

"As radio shock jock Don Imus once put it: "Dan Rather delivers the news as if he were making a hostage tape .............."

Whether this is true or satire, that's a perfect description of Rather!

Good piece!

Big Ben sounds like Brett Favre in his youth. But good for hi for rejecting the Nanny State.

They should have mentioned Buckhead, who really brought down Kenneth.
