“- I’ve tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD. I’ve never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas.”
Never knew he played with LSD. That explains a lot.
I first had my doubts about Rather’s sanity during his coverage of Desert Storm. He was in a helicopter, pointing out an open door, and speaking to the camera, explaining to his audience the geography below. He would point in one direction and authoritatively assert, “Over there is Iraq”, then point in a different direction and say “There, Iran” then again in a third direction, “And there, Syria”. The only problem was that there was DENSE FOG outside and neither he nor his audience could actually see a bloody thing. He was pointing into a directionless mist (”Over there lies Iraq; beyond there, Iran...”). I thought to myself, “This guy is loony-tunes.”
