Of course. I can't see how this is a victory by any stretch of the imagination. FR didn't topple him, this was in the works long before memogate. Rather, by becoming a correspondent, just dug in deeper for a bigger fight.

I'm thinking she'll be behind George W. Bush; I believe he's mad enough to try to finish him off.

60 Minutes life span is very limited.CBS has cancelled 60 Minutes 2.Look who's on that show, it's the geriatric aisle.There is no future there.

The decision got made the way I described.

Got made? GOT MADE? And he makes fun of Bush for his grammar-isms? Bye bye Blather!

He'll try to break some new news about Abu Ghraib, the liberals will latch onto it, and so begins the false impeachment charges.

.

At the end of last hour DAN RATHER gave his daily preview of what's coming on his evening news tonight and it kinda looked like his eyes welled up as he ended up stutterring the words

.."Here on CBS News"

Just heard on local TV news, Rather is stepping down from being the Anchor

BUT he still will be a correspondent for CBS and 60 Minutes.

So he will continue his liberal lies.

This is NO win!

I expect more hit pieces on President Bush and our military.

And hit pieces on Swift Boat Vets and Viet Nam Vets

EXCEPT for Hanoi Kerry who Rather refuses,
along with the rest of the media,
to expose for the traitor he is.

Rather won't be the anchor but we all knew that already.

Now he will have more time on his hands to lie.

It certainly IS a win; he won't be staring out at the faces of the American public every single night, trying to influence their every thought.

To Dan Rather:
Please recollect the words of that man you admire, William Clinton. His words -- "Sooner rather than later!"

Sooner, Dan, rather than later!
