"CBS Evening News" anchorman Dan Rather accused Attorney General John Ashcroft Friday morning of personally ordering Justice Department aides to "sully up my reputation,"

How do you sully up the reputaion of a turd?

HEY KENNETH! Set your black helicopter decoder ring in whats left of your herion abuse mind for the next secret message of what Ashcroft is going to do to you!

WWWWWWAaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Rather is a sniveling litle crybaby. I can't believe how little respect I have left for him. He really has self destructed.

[Geezerette]

Would you mind explaining the "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" line to me? I used to know what it meant, but I sorta/kinda forgot ... thanks!

Apparently back 10 years or so, someone came up to Rather and asked him "Whats the Frequency Kenneth?" Rather asked "What?" and the guy punched rather in the face!

[RAT Patrol]

Dan Rather is sinking into paranoia. He started the conversation in the media, Ashcroft has every right to defend himself in the media.

[Geezerette]

Thanks!!

Maybe that punch in the face shook something loose in his brain ... like I said, he's been senile for a very long time!

Apparently it has never occurred to Dan Rather to publicly apologize for trying to "sully" Ashcroft's reputation by telling a blatant lie about why Ashcroft avoided commercial planes.

Be a man, Rather, for once in your pathetic little life and publicly apologize to John Ashcroft.

[Sub-Driver]

WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Apparently Rather Old's elevator doesn't quite go all the way up to the top floor.

Rather seems a few bricks short of a fireplace.

Rather is a few pecks short of a bushel.

Rather Old is a few pints short of a gallon jug.

Old Rather is a few watts shy of a lightbulb.

Rather Old is a few commies short of a Duma.

Pray for GW and the Truth

"...and therefore could not make their own decisions about their own security.'"

Any opinion he opens up on in the future regarding gun control is now an open and shut case,he said I have the right to make my own decision to protect myself.I assume his gun stance is the standard Liberal line,I hope he doesn't read this and think I am out to get him,or anything....he needs to be held to this quote.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Castro: Well, what happened that prompted your people to request your traveling to this country? I'm unclear.

RATHER: Uh, you or somebody with the Communist Party called and said, "Listen, if Dan wants to come to Cuba we'd be glad to have him." That's what prompted it.

CASTRO: Oh, Okay.

RATHER: Also, you know, it's fair to say.....

CASTRO: According to Raul Castro Ruz(Cuban VP), that's not the case. Somebody called us from your office.

RATHER: Well, then I'll accept that. Then that's the reason we did it. (End of Excerpt)

I hope Aschroft is out to get the top liar in all of broadcasting communist Rather.

[Minnesoootan]

There is my LOL for the day!!!! Thanks! I'm set for the weekend!!!

[Vermont Lt]

I think the funniest part of the interview was at the end. Rather was backing out, and Imus said something to the effect of,

"We wanted to let you come on and clear this up, but you just seem to keep shooting yourself"

It was said to roaring applause from the Portsmouth NH audience...and could barely be heard.

[just wondering]

Fred, you want Ashcroft to fly commercial? He has had death threats...if he gets on, all of the passangers will get off...think about it, would he put an entire plane load of people in danger? I hope not.

[Fred Mertz]

Fred, you want Ashcroft to fly commercial?

I'd be happy to have him fly with me.

"Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers..."

[Diddle E. Squat]

Dan's new residence?

[nina0113]

I look forward to the day when Dan just completely loses it on live television and they have to haul him off in a straightjacket.

Could you tape it for me, please? I haven't watched CBS news since before the Gulf War, so I won't be catching it live, but I'd hate to miss THAT show.
