Donald Trump Flips Dan Rather the Bird

"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."

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

Allegedly Trump is a rich man. Whether he is or not, one thing is for sure--lower class behavior is not ameliorated by a great fortune.

"I would give anything to see that! (And I don't even like Donald Trump)"

You’ll need to live a long time!

There's a certain enjoyment in watching two low-life scum going at each other, hammer and tongs. Pass the popcorn.

Trump says he wants to do an "Apprentice"-type spinoff pitting 9 black contestants against 9 white contestants.

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.

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."

Maybe he has something BIG on Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley.

Trump is a business man, and so was Dan Rather, to a certain degree.

Donald Trump was on Dan's "60" to promote himself. Dan had Donald on his program in the hopes of attracting viewers. Dan added tension for dramatic effect. After letting his guard down, Trump realized he was played and didn't appreciate being mislead into an interview that would involve challenging questions, if not ad hominem attacks.

Both played the game and got what they wanted. Airtime. They deserve each other. No difference with Howard Stern.

[wagglebee]

Maybe he just doesn't want to be the subject of an Andy Rooney piece.

[ken21]

dan's a bitch.

for once i agree with don.

[Slyfox]

Or his pal the Hurricane

[durasell]

New York's "biggest" real estate developer?

I don't think so.

[exile]

I'm no fan of Trump's either, but that would be something.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Wow, I never knew "The Donald" was so cool, I love this guy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ticonderoga34]

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.

[ml/nj]

You know, this is BS. Trump has a stage. Unlike those of us who have figured Rather out that no one would listen to, Trump could have said something. But instead he (supposedly) chose to make obscene gestures at Yankee Stadium while others there were looking at the pitchers' mound. What a small person Trump is.

[Harpo Speaks]

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.
