Dan Rather always had a knucklehead named Ray Brady as his go-to economic guy, who , if he was a high school grad, it must have been by correspondence. He apparently knew the way from the bar he stumbled out of every afternoon about 2:30 to the back door at the DNC, where he'd pick up his copy, in time to go on camera, with or without his pants on.
LOL! Sounds like Rather and Brady probably hit it off real well together.
