eh, no way I'm boycotting both Lowe's and Home Depot. I need to get that stuff somewhere.
The truth is that most major companies probably support one thing or the other with which I disagree. While I might boycott the occasional company if they really do something over the top, I can't do it every time they do something I don't like. Being a sponsor of Rather's show hardly strikes me as something to get all flustered about.

I'm just glad he stuck around long enough to see President Bush reelected, despite his best efforts to prevent his reelection.

Dan Rather's contrived folksiness went over like a Satan-burger with a side of Hell-fries at a So-born-again-they-think-Heaven-is-sinful Southern Baptist Bible Revival fried-chicken-picnic-and-Gospel-turkey-shoot. Bwhahahaha!!!!

Congrats, Freepers/Bloggers/Truth-Seekers everywhere! There's a new accountability on the block and you, Mr. Rather, are the poster boy for what not to do.

"Dans dedication to his craft and his remarkable skills as a reporter are legendary," said CBS News President Andrew Heyward. The "legend" of Dan Rather is that of a pathetic leftwing hack.

The ballad of Dan Rather

BALLAD OF DAN RATHER
(Think "Beverly Hillbillies" theme song)
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
The documents were fake and he didn't give a dam*;
He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job,
But up from the web come a howlin' mob.
Blogs, that is.
Web logs.
Checkin' facts.
Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast;
Made a false report an' it bit him in the a$$;
He said 'dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!'
But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.
Busted, that is.
Red-faced.
Mud in the eye.
Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men;
And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' them in;
You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News,
And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.
Y'all come back, now, hear?
Media Research Center:
Dan Rather on Bill Clinton:
"I think hes an honest man."
OReilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clintons an honest man?"
Rather: "Yes, I think hes an honest man."
OReilly: "Do you, really?"
Rather: "I do."
OReilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrers face about the Lewinsky case?"
Rather: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
OReilly: "Well, I didnt lie to anybodys face on national television. I dont think you have, have you?"
Rather: "I dont think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, its one thing-"
OReilly, jumping in: "How can you say hes an honest guy then?"
Rather: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core hes an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
OReilly: "Really?!?"
Rather: "Yeah, I do."
OReilly: "See, I cant. I want my government to be honest across-the-board. I dont want people lying."
