The disgraced former anchor of CBS Evening News began his rant by listing what he viewed were “unfounded allegations that clutter our news feed” like Susan Rice and the “wiretapping of the Trump team.”

He then proceeded to drop a goofy “Ratherism” as he spewed: “The smoke machine is turned on. There’s a trained monkey dancing in the corner. The magician is buckling his cufflinks."

I guess if you are the sort of person who thinks retards are funny then you might want to listen to this senile numbskull for amusement. Otherwise why would anyone care what he says?

No respect. No respect at all for the man who saved Hillary's life. Dan held off a battalion of snipers at Bosnia when Hillary stepped off of the helicopter. Singlehandedly.

While speaking, Dan interspersed his words with barking like a dog every time a bell was rung, apparently unaware that he was doing so.

This guy was a weatherman in Dallas in Nov 1963. He was available so he reported on the Kennedy assassination. LBJ saw him and liked him. He lied about the Zapruder film, saying he saw the head jerk forward (the Zapruder film wasn’t released until 10 years or so later.).

LBJ thought he was so useful that he put him on the list of 300 people to save in the event of a Nuclear strike.

The guys been a trained monkey for about 60 years.

This poor man needs to be in a memory care facility asap. Unless there are irrelevancy care facilities, then he needs to be there.

What happened to the notion that a thoroughly disgraced celebrity should disappear from public view?
