Rather cries alot. I think he may be depressed or something. He looks like he could be. (armchair psychiatry) At any rate, when he does cry, I think it's all about him.
<< Rather is simply searching for his "Cronkite" moment. You know, something that the future news anchors can play over and over again when Rather is being remembered, like Cronkite announcing JFK's death.

Yep.
A Cronkite-like KKKli'too/Castro/Hussayn hugging phony.
It's always been all about him. He was Geraldo before there was a Geraldo.
(They Call Me Rather!)
"At any rate, when he does cry, I think it's all about him."
I totally agree. I think it was a case where Dan, whose career was largely intertwined with Reagan's ascension, saw his own mortality. The tears were about him realizing that he, too, will die one day – but in his case nobody will give a sh!t. That’s what he was choking on.
As people grow older, they are more prone to tears. I don't know why, but I have observed it frequently.
He's a crying shame.
