Student has a nice chat with Rather during three-hour flight
Caroline Page sat next to Dan Rather on an Austin-to-New York flight and, after thirty minutes, got up the nerve to begin a conversation. "He was candid, intelligent and spoke to me as though we weren't 54 years apart in age," she writes. "We touched on what seemed like every issue from our personal backgrounds, including relationship struggles due to the strain of reporting and the importance of a woman in the field remaining true to herself. He told me stories of young female reporters losing themselves and 'sleeping their way to the top,' only to ultimately crash and burn." During their chat, "the real Dan Rather made a Dan Rather-fan out of me."
Rather is an idiot. He could have been helpful instead of continuing his slime drool. I wonder if he has been tested for dementia?
Katie wasn’t bad before personal computers.
Pleasant thoughts while airborne next to a crazy person.
I know the first thing I’d say if Dan Rather was sitting next to me at the start of a three hour flight:
“Stewardess, I need to be moved to a different seat.”
(Who wants to sit next to a known mentally imbalanced person for three hours?)
How sweet — I’ll bet she wore a Che T-shirt.
Dunno..if I ended up seated next to Dan..I’d scream OMG! he’s lighting his shoe..then we could all jump on him and beat the snot outta him.
If found to be a false accusation, I’d say, oops, dang fake shoe bomber shoes huh?
“He told me stories of young female reporters losing themselves and ‘sleeping their way to the top,’ only to ultimately crash and burn.”
Uhhh, known any PERSONALLY Dan?????
Yo, Sherlock, how long you been doing detective work? Of course, coulda been vice-versa.
Yep, the crazy old fossil took a run at a 21-year-old.
(Just learned that the madman, Dan Rather, was fittingly born on Halloween. He’ll be 76 tomorrow.)
Being fooled implies that they tried to authenticate the documents. Rather and crew do not think it was their job to authenticate the documents. The document incident was willful deception, the kind of deception that is usually reserved for rat politicians. I understand now. Rather is the leader of the media branch of the DMC.
Well if it had been been Bubba touched is not all she would have been. But I suspect Rather only gets Kinky at Kinkos.
“So, you wanna go to your hotel or mine? I’ve certainly put in the time!”
Did she ask what the frequency was?
Dan is still making the rounds of Texas Kinkos looking for the "real documents."
Hmmmm, the “Daily Texan”, eh? More like the “Daily Worker” of old.
Just two like-minded commies flocking together and flying from the Texas Lonnie Bin to the Big Apple Loonie Bin.
It’s interesting that years ago (when gas was 10 cents a gallon) that journalists knew how to report a news story and where to put their opinions.
Certainly, Blather might have a dim, foggy memory of that time, but I’m sure he didn’t pass that along to little miss “i’m gonna be a big star one day’ cubette reporter for the Daily Worker, er Texan.
Thank Heavens for the Internet!
“Who could Dan be talking about?”
Jessica Savitch.
I am serious, and quite certain.
