I think that Dan fancies himself a latter day Will Rogers. These are just so fake coming from Dan, condescending, as a matter of fact. I guess Dan thinks that we hicks will understand better if he uses these kinds of comments.
Honest as my good friend "Three Dollar Bill".
Is it just me, but not only being crazy don`t some of these quotes belie a deep seated bigoted,conceited,even racist attitude?
How will we be able to detect the forgery?
Count on it like it was signed by Lucy Ramirez!
That's what I used to do after an presumed celebration that didn't pan out. Except I learned that jackhammers work better than pick axes on champaign bottles, which that poor white trash couldn't have known.
Interesting 'quotes'. Most of them went out of style in the '50's', some of them were wrong but I guess you have to make allowances for his age. After reading them you can tell just how 'dated' Rather is. Time for him to retire.
Dan Rather is the Lyndon Johnson of broadcasting. What's disturbing is that Dan would consider the comparison a compliment. It's not.
Thank you, and I really mean that. I hadn't thought of that gibberish as code-speak for self-appointed elitist lefties, but you may well be right. It's too stupid to be anything else.
I gave up on 'em when they had 247 to 242 while others had almost called the entire country.
OMG, did Rather really say that about Zogby's poll?
His brain is as curdled as a three month ole bottle of milk hidden in the back of an unplugged Frigidaire in a non-airconditioned Texas mobile-home in dog days of summer.
Rather needs to retire to his proportional-font Selectric typewriter to write his memoirs, and leave the anchor desk.
I think it's time for Dan to join Uncle Walter at the Trembling Hills Retirement Center for Broadcast Journalists!
I lived in Texas for three years. Yep, they talk like that. But you know, once you're there for awhile, you start to understand it. THEN, you start to talk that way yourself. It's really a beautiful language.
Frog? Side pockets? Handgun? Here in Tennessee, they do
and they do.
I left my home in Staten Island and worked the last six days in N/E Penn. I worked up until 7:31Pm on election day. Then, absolutely up to here with poltics I went to my room to get some sleep. I woke up later and wanted the truth so I went to See-BS. I got the truth in the tones dannie was using with that idiot schieffer. Both of them sounded like you do when you are at a wake, talking just ouitside of where the body is. I knew we were in so I tuned in to a basketball game and waited. I don't even remember what they were talking about. I just remember the tone and that was good enough. It said all thgat needed saying.
Dan Rather reporting tonight live from our election night headquarters. And now to the latest results as it seems the president is floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee if I may steal a phrase from Muhammad Ali. It seems our last futile attempts to steal this election have failed. Muhammad_Ali_Photo.jpg )
I was born in, raised in, and lived in Texas most of my life and have a lot East Texas country relatives. And no, we don't talk like that. There are a whole lot of colloquial folk sayings, we use them all the time, but nothing like Rather's idiot babbling. Anyone that talked like that at a family reunion would have the rest of us privately commenting that he should be admitted to Terrell or Wichita Falls. (Those are two well-known big 'insane asylums' in East and North Texas.)
