There's no love lost between Dan Rather and NewsMax readers, and 'The Donald' feels the same way.
Today on Howard Stern's radio show Donald Trump was Howard's guest.
Stern said he likes Trump because Trump is brutally honest. "I see you all over the place trashing Dan Rather," revealed Stern.
"Well, Dan was not too great," Trump replied, in the understatement of the new millennium.
"He had me on 60 Minutes, and he did nothing but be nice to me and he was great; then all of a sudden, at the end, he starts ... 'You're a vicious, horrible human being; Why?'"
Donald wondered, "Is this the same guy who was just so nice to me? He's just terrible. And you know, I never understood ... he got such bad ratings. How did a guy who was number three for years stay on the air?"
New York's biggest real estate developer could only come up with one reason: "I think he has something on the officials over at CBS."
Howard then asked if Trump had told Rather to his face "You are a scumbag."
"Many Times," replied Trump. "I would see him in (New York Yankee Owner) George Steinbrenner's box - I'd give him the finger about two feet away. People that were with me couldn't believe what was happening."
"What would he do?" asked Stern.
"He would do nothing. Then he'd call and say 'Donald, let's get together, let's have lunch' ... and I'd say 'No, Thank you,'"
"He would do everything possible to be nice, but it didn't matter, because when the game was on, he wasn't nice."
Trump said he didn't care what people say, or if they don't like him, but Rather "wasn't fair."
Stern said he feels the same way about Katie Couric, another icon of the liberally biased media, who, before Stern's exclusive interview with the Today Show for his movie, privately told Stern she loved him and loved his movie.
During the interview, though - in holier-than-thou fashion - she started in with Howard about being raunchy, indecent and all of the other ridiculous accusations constantly hurled at Stern, and peppered him about the FCC and his troubles with the commission.
Trump, star of NBC's "The Apprentice," sympathized, but was unapologetic. In fact, in a further revelation, Trump says he wants to do an "Apprentice"-type spinoff pitting 9 black contestants against 9 white contestants.
The entire liberal media establishment is currently shuddering, which is surely what 'The Donald' wanted.
I would give anything to see that! (And I don't even like Donald Trump)
Now that is a Mastercard moment.
Cab ride to Yankee Stadium: $25.
Tickets to see the Yankees: $100.
Getting to see Donald Trump flip off Dan Rather: Priceless
You’ll need to live a long time!

Looks like someone else has no problem with DAN RATHER either..?

There's a certain enjoyment in watching two low-life scum going at each other, hammer and tongs. Pass the popcorn.
No network, not even Aljazeera, would have the balls to carry this show.
"He had me on 60 Minutes, and he did nothing but be nice to me and he was great; then all of a sudden, at the end, he starts ... 'You're a vicious, horrible human being; Why?'"
Notice how Danny Boy never said these words to Saddam Hussein? Instead he cozied up to the tyrrant.
New York's biggest real estate developer could only come up with one reason: "I think he has something on the officials over at CBS."
Maybe he has something BIG on Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley.
Maybe he just doesn't want to be the subject of an Andy Rooney piece.
dan's a bitch.
for once i agree with don.
New York's "biggest" real estate developer?
I don't think so.
I'm no fan of Trump's either, but that would be something.
Wow, I never knew "The Donald" was so cool, I love this guy!!!!!!!!!!!
You're right, all these guys are media whores but I don't care. I think its cool that the Donald flipped off Dan. Dan was probably used to having people kiss his backside all of the time. What a shock it must have been for Danny boy when Trump flipped him off.

OK...lemme get this straight. Howard Stern -- who hates conservatives and Bush in particular (I can't think of anyone nastier towards Bush during the last campaign) is looked on favorably by Carl Limbacher simply because Trump bashes Rather on Stern's show. Does second-hand Rather bashing forgive all sins? Apparently it does.
