That was one of my all time favorite nights on FR. Great times.
Someone ought to do a "Top Ten Greatest Moments on FR" thread. Certainly this Rathergate moment remains number one. Two others I recall fondly are the live thread about the FReep counterprotest of Cindy Sheehan's over-hyped and under-attended protest at George Bush's Texas ranch, which garnered thousands of hits and moved so fast you could hardly read it; and secondly the live thread the night FReepers took the gates of Walter Reed away from Code Pink and permanently repelled their nasty azzes down the street, away from protesting the wounded at the gates.
Of course, there were the early threads about FReeping Al Gore while the hanging chad recounts and Supreme Court decision was being made in the 2000 election. I think one or more of the FReeps of the White House Correspondents Dinners also might qualify, as well as the main thread about the Gathering of Eagles in DC to protect the national monuments from vandals at a commie-organized anti-war rally, and certainly the biggest thread of the first huge Tea Party rally at the Capitol Building in 2009 that garnered a million attendees and was either totally ignored or calumniously misrepresented in the MSM.
