I watched Rather's slip live on Saturday, and immediately posted about it, but no one picked up on it. Interesting that it turns up now as a news item.

Here's my post on Rather's obtuseness, at #142:

As much as it pains me to say this, I was impressed with the CBS coverage on Saturday morning. Fox news channel was AWFUL. MSNBC was good, as was CNN. CBS had a guy at the Kennedy Space Center, (his name escapes me just now), but he is their long time correspondent there - and he was VERY GOOD. I didn't see the incident you're referring to. I was switching back and forth a lot.

As far as Howard Stern's idiot callers, one of them called into CNN, the night that Princess Diana died, and it was really repulsive. Some people need to know when to joke, and when to leave it alone.

It's pretty sick that someone would take advantage of this tragedy to get his "15 minutes of fame",

but I admit...

It was funny to see Bizzaro Dan get pranked and admit he was an idiot on live TV.

"Idiot" used to describe Rather is an understatement. The man is truly bizarre and unstable. As G. Gordon Liddy said (quoting PJ O'Rourke, I believe) - "People watch Dan Rather for the same reason they watch the Indy 500 - they're just waiting for something to crash."

Will Kenneth ever find the correct frequency?
