Cry us a River Dan!
Rather insisted that his lawsuit is not born out of resentment: “I’m not angry, I’m not bitter — never have been. I’m a reporter and this is a story.” He denounced the “interference, intimidation and manipulation in newsrooms” caused largely by the corporatization and consolidation of news outlets and said that, despite the largely negative response his lawsuit has received in the court of public opinion, “people might come around when they find out what really went on.”

oops..bye!
This is a sniveling coward.
Is he going to call Buskhead as well? And JimRob? And oh so many other FReepers???
CBS should have lost its license to broadcast over this.
Go away Dan, just go away.
“....leaving both Joynt and audience members wondering whether the newsman has Bush in his sights.” Joynt later told Yeas & Nays, “From the look in his eye — and he gave me a definite Ratheresque look — I got the impression he will call the president as a witness. Possibly both of them: 41 and 43”
Rather has been chasing bob woodward ever since he jumped on woodwards bandwagon when Watergate was beginning to smolder, by asking Nixon if he was running for or from something (can’t remember the exact words). But Rather never made it bigtime, was never bigtime, and ain’t gonna ever be bigtime; no matter how desperately he tries to step into woodwards shoes.....or kronkites, for that matter.
But I’m glad to see him so desperately trying, which means he’ll go out with a whimper and a laughing audience.
Dan Rather never did a single thing during his career with the intent of making America better; and never once hesitated to get facetime by trying tear it down.
GOOD RIDDANCE DAN, AND KNOW THAT I DON’T CARE WHETHER YOUR NEXT MOVE IS TO GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST OR THE UNDERTAKER.
Rather hunkers down and chokes the chi.....chokes up.
Courage, Dan, Courage.
Courage, dan, courage!!!
This man is not playing with a full deck and probably hasn't been for many years. What's hilarious is that his sympathetic cronies in the dinosaur media haven't noticed this.
Well, I'm with Dan at this point. I hope this goes to trial and I hope the trial goes on forever, with witness after witness and exhibit after exhibit. When it's all over and the dust has settled, Dan will be living in a cardboard box under a freeway overpass, hounded forever by his attorneys to whom he will still owe millions. And CBS will be synonymous the world over with "incompetent laughingstock."
We need a Photoshop contest of Dan Rather as a crazy homeless derelict. It would just seem to fit.
Yeah, I can’t help visualizing him “hunkering” and “choking.” Definitely not an appetizing sight, but a lot less gruesome than the prospect of Dan being endlessly cross-examined at trial. He’ll present a perfect blend of Captain Queeg and Saddam Hussein (Dan’s old buddy).
Yeah, and he's the "antagonistic" SOB who brought this all on himself!
My final word of advise to Dan (crybaby) Rather: "Karma can be BITCH!"
Regards,
GtG
That trial could be the gift that keeps on giving! :)
... who is endlessly digging through the trash bins outside that Texas Kinko's, looking for the "real documents."
Yep. Soon as Dan files, I stock up on popcorn.
Appropriate for the crazy uncle that ought to be locked up in the cellar. I wonder why they let him out.
