LIVE THREAD: Dan Rather's Last Broadcasts
www.freerepublic.com | March 9, 2005 | Free Republic

Posted on 03/09/2005 2:17:25 PM PST by Howlin

Dan Rather enters the CBS broadcast center for his last scheduled broadcast of the 'CBS Evening News' March 9, 2005 in New York. Tributes to the 73-year-old newsman were mixed with sniping after his final months were marred by a reporting scandal that tarnished his reputation. REUTERS/Chip East

He's gonna cry. Dan cries at the drop of a hat. Emotionally disturbed, you know.

Dan Rather's father was an East Texas ditch digger - honest work. The family went to seed after that.

I'm going to celebrate by not watching him. Low ratings on his final broadcast is the most fitting ending.

Ain't no way I'm giving that chump the pleasure of my company as he fades into the sunset.

I haven't watched him since the 80's, don't plan to change that now.

Good riddance to bad trash.

I will, however, enjoy monitoring the live thread!

"The family went to seed after that."

Is that the new name for Gernalizm Skuul?

Wait........wouldn't a high ratings number be a slap in the face to him?
