I heard Pat on Howie Carr today. He was kind of funny, postulating that Dan expected to be given the "Investigative
Journalist of the Year Award" at the Correspondant's Dinner next Spring. President Kerry would be there..."

Then he said he was speaking to some businessmen Monday, and bringing up Rather's name brought peals of laughter from the group.

So, Dan, if he makes his planned retirement, on his terms, will bring his fantasy to meet reality.

A good time for all is guaranteed.

Except for Cap'n Dan, the Newsman.

Pat is great, when he is not holding hands with Bob Graham on MTP.
