Dan Rather may retire this Wednesday night as anchor of the CBS News. But before he does, the verdict on his tenure as one of America's leading anchors has already been fixed.
Helping to seal that verdict is Mike Walker's new book "Rather Dumb – A Top Tabloid Reporter Tells CBS How to Do News."

I found this as I looked through some old news articles. I've always liked this one.

Very depressed Ran Dather must set on the edge of his bed every night and cries. Woo-hoo
He signed his own legacy insignificance as a so-called “news reporter.”
so don’t feel sorry for the has-been.

I always found him to be very amusing on election night with all of those bizarre comments he’d make, e.g., to a member of Kerry’s campaign staff: “I know you’d rather go running through a furnace in a gasoline suit than to think of Kerry losing Ohio.” You can find a lot of those clips on YouTube

As liberal as Rather was, it’s hard to dislike the guy. For some odd reason Rather grew on me, like Howard Cosell did.
To: ThreePuttinDude; Buckhead
This demented old coot is
still out there hawking the ridiculous Mapes/Burkett forgeries and claiming that "nobody has proved them wrong." Ahhh, FR's finest hour. Thank you Buckhead!

If he had retired in his early 60’s - rather than hanging on forever - his legacy would not have suffered - - he was the epitome of the consummate professional reporter most of his career.
