Chris Matthews tries to save Dan by interrupting, here is Rather's remark regarding President Obama:
"He couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him a state trooper to flag down the traffic..."
Well, well - where are the Black “leaders”? Reid - “light skinned Negro”
Carter - “a black boy”
Now Rather - BHO the watermelon seller?
Do ya think there is a double standard?
To me it’d be funnier if he said Obama couldn’t sell fried chicken at KFC .... then too, Obama couldn’t sell five dollar bills on a New York street corner for a dollar ....
sounds to me like we are each being urged to bring a watermelon to the next anti-Obamacare tea party...
They may have turned this up, whether you had the Paula Jones case or not. But again maybe not, but again that’s like if a frog had side pockets he’d probably wear a handgun.

I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
Dan Rather
I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to ‘smack,’ and quickly.

Quotes from CBS Anchor Dan Rather on Election Night 2004
“Do you hear that knocking...President Bush’s re-election is at the door.”
“This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex.”
“His lead is as thin as turnip soup.”
“This race is humming along like Ray Charles.”
“The presidential race is swinging like Count Basie.”
“This race is hotter than the Devil’s anvil.”
“Ohio becomes like a sauna for the two candidates. All they can do is wait and sweat.”
“One’s reminded of that old saying, ‘Don’t taunt the alligator until after you’ve crossed the creek.’”
“This situation in Ohio would give an aspirin a headache.’’
“Bush is sweeping through the South like a big wheel through a cotton field.”
“What Kerry needs at this point is the equivalent of Tom Brady coming off the bench to rescue him. But it’s still too close to call.”
“No question now that Kerry’s rapidly reaching the point where he’s got his back to the wall, his shirttails on fire and the bill collector’s at the door.”
“John Kerry needs something on the order of a 55 or 60-yard field goal to win this.”
I still don’t understand why that is a bad thing.
They were trying to sell watermelons. That’s a good thing.
That guy looks like a black Ronald Reagan!
That is absolutely hilarious.. I would never have thought Rather would have said such a thing. Would love to have seen that.
Matthews must have had a “tingle” of smelly stuff running down his leg after that one...
Double ouch! DRUDGE just picked it up so now the story is exploding! Look for Dan Rather to be sacrificed live on MSNBC tonight, either on Olberman’s show or Maddow’s. Prissy Chrissy doesn’t have the balls to do it so they will leave it to the more ruthless members of their stable. lol
The trouble is that Dan Rather is a light skinned Texan who doesn’t speak with a Texas Twang unless he wants to.
Wow, way cool. Y’all shouldn’t be getting down on hussein. It’s clear by what Dan said that hussein is showing solidarity with small business owners all over the US.
They would rip you to shreds if a conservative said that.
Dan Blather, the gift that just keeps giving.
“Courage, Barack!”
LOL!
What a cotton picking thing to say
As Rush says:
A liberal can be as bigoted and racist as he wants.
