I’ve been listening a bit ... is Joe Thunder
live, or is this another replay like an hour
ago, when they replayed Leo’s brief interview
from last night?

Dan Rather in Panic Mode: Move Inauguration to December 1 (Video also)
December 5, 2008 - 11:15 ET
@@@
Appearing on Friday’s “Morning Joe,” former CBS anchor Dan Rather chided President Bush for not doing enough during his lame duck period and argued for moving Inauguration Day up to December 1.
And although Rather didn’t explain specifically what Bush wasn’t doing enough about (The financial crisis? The terrorist incident in India?), he did hyperbolically fret, “But, we’re in possibly, possibly the biggest crisis we’ve been in since December 7, 1941 and maybe since the time of the Civil War.” (As big a calamity as slavery and the dissolution of the Union?)
Addressing the past practice of inaugurating presidents in March, Rather lobbied “Thank heaven, we now swear them in, new presidents, in January.
I’d be in favor of moving it up to December 1st.” (The former network anchor didn’t explain how he would then deal with situations like the protracted 2000 post-election battle.)
