DFU SONG: Flashdance (what a feeling....Rather's reeling)
DFU SONG PARODIES | 9-2004 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 09/17/2004 7:10:39 PM PDT by doug from upland

MIDI - FLASHDANCE -- first version

All of your news are now belong to us

There is a network with a great big black eye
In the boardroom they ask themselves why...oh, why

It's that man...Dan's the man...who does all that he can
To make our president go bye bye

There's a FReeper named Buckhead...who knew those docs had looked like bull
They were spaced way too proportional

What a feeling...Rather's reeling
With his DemocRAT dirty tricksters he is so screwed

He's been outed!...the FReepers shouted
It's about time Castro's good buddy finally is through

Their old rules are now out the door
For the Old Media, FReepers know what's in store

There's a new game we're winning...leftists, you won't be spinning
We're now the fourth estate...we just love it how you're so irate

What a feeling...Rather's reeling
With his DemocRAT dirty tricksters he is so screwed

He's been outed!...the FReepers shouted
It's about time Castro's good buddy finally is through

Rather's reeling

(short musical break)

What a feeling...Rather's reeling
With his DemocRAT dirty tricksters he is so screwed

He's been outed!...FReepers shouted
(So bring back Connie Chung)

Great Job!

This is excellent. Congrats to all who participated.

Actually Dan Rather is the reason I stopped lurking and started posting. My first post was a tribute to him.

****A MESSAGE TO DAN BLATHER****

A note to your sponsors and you.
From long time viewers who bid adieu.
It's off to FOX where we now abide.
Where THEY report and WE decide.

I love reading stuff like this which exposes the Mapes/Rather debacle. There is no question that Mapes was on a singular mission to “get” Bush and, even after being warned that the documents would be questoned by numerous document examiners, went ahead with the story.

All hail the New Media.

Well done. I was on the thread that night and before the show was over I told my wife, “This is going to blow up in their faces.” A truly historic set of events.

I wondered what happened to her PING list. Where did she go?

When I was about 10, my father mentioned that Mr. So-and-so at church was about to celebrate his 90th birthday.

I asked him "Who would want to live to be 90?"

His answer?

"The person who is 89."

One of the industry commentators I heard said Cap’n Dan thought he could bring down Bush, and at the following Spring’s press bash in DC, he’d be hailed as the hero of the Fifth Column’s Fourth Estate...

Just remember, Old Media: we (Free Republic) have watched, we (Free Republic) have recorded, we (Free Republic) will teach...and there’s nothing you can do about it!

I agree. And this posting should be a good example for newer Freepers, that there are people here that will get at the truth, one way or another.

I wonder what Dan's fee schedule is for public appearances. I wonder when he was last asked to make a public appearance. If he had pulled this off he would have commanded six figures, plus having a President's head for his trophy wall.

Instead his retirement is on a unknown show on a an unknown cable channel. The Tomb of the Unknown Has-Been.

Enjoy your retirement you old bag of slime. From your buddies at Free Republic.
