Dan Rather "bababooied" again.
CBS news | 3/21/03 | Clink

Posted on 03/21/2003 2:38:17 PM PST by Clink

I checked to see if anyone had posted this yet and couldn't find it. Did anyone, besides me, see Dan Rather yesterday afternoon "go to Jim Axelrod" only to have the caller say "Bababooie you idiot"? Dan managed to keep his cool and said that they were having technical problems.

The last time it happened he agreed with the caller.
To Dan "You are an idiot"
Dan "I am an idiot"
Sadaam, "He's the one for my interview."

Someone HAS to have this recorded on some media that can be posted!

You've missed nothing. It's something that Radio-putz Howard Stern's followers do during breaking news - they pretend to be someone who knows something and get on the air & use the radio-putz's name & that 'bababooie' word.

Why isn't CBS covering March Madness?

I s'pose Dan Blather can't get enough face-time in front of the camera.

If Dan caught it, maybe he's getting sharper. Every other time he's had to have someone else explain it to him *after* the caller has already revealed himself.

I think Stuttering John is a far more serious journalist than Dan the Dipweed.

His real name is Gary DelAbate. He is a producer for the Howard Stern show. He has big teeth and gums. The name comes from a long time ago when he bought a cartoon slide of the character Baba Louie. He mis-pronounced it Bababooie. The name stuck.

Isn't it a warning that the end is near when an underling of someone as slimy as Howard Stern becomes part of the culture?

Caller: "You're a real idiot, you know that?"
Rather’s Producer Russ Mitchell: "Unfortunately in these breaking news situations you have goofballs like him calling up. That was a crank call, unfortunately."
Rather: "Well it was a crank call and it is true I'm an idiot, but that's beside the point…

I've officially taken my foot off Rather's neck. He's doing a good enough job of reporting for me to cut him some slack.

Ever listen to his show? He is as pro-Bush as any FReeper. He has some elements of the show that are hilariously funny. I still think fart jokes are funny. Some dont. Some elements are slimy. To each his own. I listen to Rush everyday, too. He has a different style, both are funny.
