While I have your attention, have a Happy Thanksgiving, Huck. Every time I see your nick, I think of 9-11 and am so grateful you're safe.
Thanks, there's more!
This is NOT news. Give me a break. His retirement was already planned for a long time for March. Rush mentioned this several months ago.
:^D
Leaving March 24, 2005
Get out the way Old Dan Rather
Get out the way Old Dan Rather
Get out the way Old Dan Rather
You're too late to come for supper
Old Dan Rather was a fine old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died wit' a toothache in his heel
Repeat chorus
As I recall from the CBS RatherGate threads, there was quite a consensus that ol'Dan would be put out to pasture in March, for some very good reasoning. I am amazed that yet again, FR predicted the news before it actually came to pass in the Old Media.
.
Correction: to Buckhead, TankerKC, Howlin, Robert E. Cook, P.E. and the whole cadre of pajamahadeen ...
Exactly. The way I remember hearing it, was that since Brokaw was leaving by the end of the year,
rather than having to share the accolades, Rather would do it in the Spring.
Can't have two anchors leaving at the same time now, can we?
That's not to mention the story that Rather was planning on receiving the top award at the
Washington Correspondents' Dinner from President Kerry, for the fake memo story.
Some pundit pointed out that it was more painful for Blather to report on the election results
leading up to the Bush victory.
And the entertaining gyrations he went through to avoid doing so.
Thank God Rather is off the news program, BUT he hasn't cut ALL his ties to CBS. I want to see him GONE.
Same to you! Thanks!
I predict Dan will not really retire-
But be promoted !!- to a new 60 minutes!
Where he can sling mud- till his dying days -
at the evil,republicans,Christians-and great Americans
that have built this land.
(you know -researching does NOT have to be done on 60
minutes- because it is for entertainment of the elite
masses that do not read on FR!)
Looks to me like these outlets along with these special interest groups have been given enough rope and are now hanging themselves. ;o)
Who cares, we all knew Rather would be gone early next year.
'Ol Dan can retire now since he has his name memorialized. A whole new definition of lying, defrauding, or distorting truth is named for him, ie. "The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended six illegals today with Rathered social security and immigration documents in their posession." or "Two suspects have been arrested in connection of producing and providing Rathered documents to illegal aliens." or "A suspect was arrested today and charged with check Rathering."
One of FR's finest moments.
After confirming to the planet that he is the face of facetiousness in the MSM he was informed by management that he was going to be retired and he could claim the idea as his own or not!
Good riddance Dan, you will not be missed!
