First of all, it ["courage"] was my father's favorite word. My mother's favorite word was "meadow".

Yeah, OK, if those are my choices, I could go with "courage".

In an interview with Marvin Kalb carried live by C-SPAN from the National Press Club on Monday night, Dan Rather made quite clear that he believes in the accuracy of his Bush National Guard story based on what everyone else realizes were fabricated memos. Rather argued that "one supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question.

Quite frankly, Dan Rather is insane. He cannot admit the falsity of his story. Dan, De-Nial is not just a river in Egypt!

[Izzy Dunne]

We had a story, you can argue that we shouldn't have, might of, could of, shouldn't have handled during political camp-, but they understood that what we reported as the central facts of the story and there were new insights into the President's, were correct and to this day, by the way have not been denied which is always the test of whether-. They understood that on the documents, as I said once, I wish we had done it better.

There's a pony under there somewhere!

Quit digging, Dan. . Bounce those little Rather Grandchildren on your knee, Dan. Find some joy. Go, enjoy your retirement

The glory days are long over and you are completely irrelevant. No amount of yammering will change that.

"Yes, there's some strange and, to me, still mysterious things, certainly unexplained things about how it got attacked and why even before the program is over, but I try not to bog down in it."

Oh, indeed. It's indeed "mysterious" how those evil, "hyperconservative" numskulls evidently have more brain cells than the entire news division at CBS.

Ping. You'll enjoy this.
Proving a negative is impossible, but they know that.

Just two old lady hippies shootin the breeze huh???

[uncitizen]

The way Rush put it today was: "the guy was dead when he wrote the memo"

[BMC1]

He might as well give it up. Nobody cares except those with tin foil hats on.

Besides, Bush isn't running for anything.

[Paleo Conservative]

Dan Rather never proved that his mother was not a prostitute either.

[Cinnamon]

you need to lay off the Ensure Can there Dan Rather... lmao

Dan Rather: "Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken".

[Space Wrangler]

Absolutely amazing. This rube is still spouting the 'fake but accurate' mantra. And I see he's still delusional as ever.

[mylife]

Ol Dan just cant let go

[pollyannaish]

LOL. There are certain Baby Boomers who believed they would never get old and irrelevant.

Surprise!


(For the record, the rest of you Baby Boomers where smart, just not as loud.)

“My friend, you have seen this incident, based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn’t happen?”

[roaddog727]

"Rather argued that "one supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question."

In terms of Engineering, one questionable supporting pillar will get the building condemned.

[rawhide]

Just saying it to be so, hoping it to be so, and believing it to be so, does not make it so. The facts point that out clearly. But Rather cannot see clearly, because he is blinded by partisanship. What a sorry old man!
