Thanks to BuckHead and a few other FReepers, today's event would not have been possible.

Theme music for Danny's departure should be "Dum, dum dum..another one bites the dust!!". Seems apropos.

Goodbye Dan, please don't come back to Texas.

"With the utmost respect, we mark the extraordinary and singular role Dan has played in writing the script of not only CBS News, but of broadcast journalism." With the utmost contempt, blah, blah.

I can't really express my opinion of Rather on a public forum; he should have been fired years ago after he produced "The Wall Within". CBS was complicit in the fraud and should have had their license revoked at the time. Instead, he was allowed to lie and distort the news for years. I'm glad to see him go and hope that the entire CBS network follows in his footsteps to hell.

Probably the best I have seen all year.
Way to go digger.

"Thanks to BuckHead and a few other FReepers, today's event would not have been possible." True but I think it's BucketHead. ;-d

Thanks for the correction. None the less, Dan's gone because of BucketHead's detective work. Nice to see the efforts paid off. Ding, dong, the witch is dead!

It was Buckhead, surely. I don't think we have a "Buckethead"

• 1987: Rather walks off the CBS Evening News set in anger after the network decided to let the U.S. Open tennis tournament run overtime, cutting into the news broadcast. CBS was left with dead air for six minutes.cBS should have fired him on the spot. If they had, the world might be a much nicer place now.

Thanks. I had it right in my original #22 post. Didn't know if the "H" was uppercase or not. Still, it's great that he had a Rather big part in blather's demise.

Goodby Hell. CBS screwed up. Rather should have been told to remove the personal contents of his desk because be was being fired.
