RATHER CAN'T FIND TOP JOB!!!

This man is a wack job.
Oh, boo freakin’ hoo.
lol....idiot.
There is nothing more painful than watching a guy who is washed up trying to keep the old glory. The last years of Dan Marino in Miami and Michael Jordan in a Wizards uniform come to mind.
Dan Rather is the exception, though. While he should have headed for the beach long ago with his sandals, black socks, straw hat, umbrella drink & metal detector, Dan continues to pretend he’s still relevant in the propaganda industry. Kind of amusing actually.
Courage, Dan.
Bush won.....
It is an important distinction: the documents were not forged; they were fabricated. A forgery implies the existence of an original document, painting etc. No such original document existed.
Inbreeding.....
SeeBS is in the pocket of the Bush White House.
That would be funny if it wasn't so pathetically lame.
Your post brings to mind Denver Bronco’s quarterback John Elway, who retired after winning his second straight Super Bowl, rather than coming back to defend it the following season. There are not many people who will walk away while they are on top. Elway was one who did.
Good heavens, I thought it said “Dan Mad About Hair Loss,” and I thought it was about me.
When you blatantly lie and try to manipulate the election of the US President based on documents that you had to know were forgeries, what should happen to you, Dan?
ax him what?
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
Dan Rather is to serious news...
what Quincy Carter is to professional football.
Just because you’re getting a paycheck, doesn’t make you qualified.
An excellent point.
*snicker*
You’re flippin’ 76 Dan, buy a Winnebago. And take Jimmy Carter with you.
who is Dan Rather?
I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days

Now you can go back to Texas and focus on your democrat party fundraising full time Dan.
Dan, I want invoke the same cryptic, bizarre message you conveyed to America rach night when signing off;
COURAGE!
THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE DAN AWAY
Tune: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!"
Remember when I broke the news
How Bush got in the Guard
And didn't have to leave
To go to Vietnam?
Well . . .
I pushed that story hard
Just weeks before Election Day
And so of course you know
The thoughts I had in my mind
Like . . .
They're going to give me a prize, Ha-ha!
They're going to give me a prize, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a journalist
Who helps the Democrats all the time
And I'll be happy to put
That nice award
In my trophy case
And they're going to give me a prize, Ha-haaa!
You thought it was a fake
And so you cringed
You cringed when people said
That superscript was not done at that time
Right . . .
The people laughed, I heard them laugh
They laughed, they laughed and laughed
You made me leave
But now you know I'm Rather upset!
So . . .
I'm going to take you to court, Ha-ha!
I'm going to take you to court, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a tidy sum
Like six--no, seventy million bucks
And put me back on the Evening News
And make all the viewers watch
And I'm going to take you to court, Ha-haaa!
I read your news
I gave my views
And this is how you pay me back
For all my years of bold unbiased news?!
Hah . . .
Well, you just wait
I'll find the proof
And when I do
They'll know that Dan is not some sort of old unbalanced nut!
'Cause . . .
They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha!
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
To the anchor desk
With lights and cameras and breaking news
And four producers who sit and smile
And tell me that I'm the best
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
That song by Springsteen seems much more autobiographical today than it did way back then.
It must be really tough being a multimillionaire who isn’t obliged to work for a living. If I didn’t have to work, I could think of almost as many things to do as ol’ Dan has dollars.
Dan, you’re seventy-six. It’s time to hang it up. Enjoy life. Go fishing. Stop tormenting yourself and stop giving the world yet another old liberal to laugh at.
Sounds like OJ and his quest for the real killer(s) of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
hee hee hee! he forgot to apply to cartoon network! (i think they need a
new space ghost!)
WIFE-O-BUCKHEAD
Once you prove you have no character, it’s hard to regain it.
The story came under fire when some of the documents the report relied on were revealed to be forgeries, a charge Rather disputes.I said, the first step to recovery is to admit that you have a problem."Since the fall of 2004, CBS has continuously acted to Mr. Rather's detriment by directing him to publicly apologize, and thus accept the blame, for CBS's mishandling of the broadcast, despite his blameless conduct," the suit says.
Rather said he was told by network bigs that they would defend him if he kept his mouth shut, and that they were interested in possibly renewing his contract to keep him with CBS after his contract expired in 2006.
Dan, you didn't just fall off the turnip truck. You should know that people in the media are liars. If they were interested in defending you and "possibly extending" your contract, you should have gotten the guarantee for defending you and the contract extension in writing.
haha, I like your post.
Nah.
OJ has no intention of finding either the real killer or a patsy.
Dan, OTOH, is interested in finding either more uncorroborated documents to support his claim, or a patsy.
After all, what did Cap'n Dan, the newsman, say about Clinton - it's possible to be a liar and honest at the same time?
Dan, Dan, Dan. "Courage".
Pete Samprass walked away at the top.
One astute Freeper in Buckhead, Georgia — brought this bastard down.....
Thank you, thank you, thank you......
My lawn needs mowing once a week or so...
How can that statement be proven? If it can't be proven, you should retract your speculation and stick with truth and facts.
Awww, poor critter :)
In other words, it was an original. Someone created it.
Yes someone created it but not in the early 1970’s but rather in about 2003.
Dan can always go help OJ find the real killer.....
Good point.
Too bad he won’t be covering the Democratic Convention, so he can get beat up again.
