Dan Rather Stumbles, Chris Matthews Fumbles Over Watermelons and Racism

Actually, if Dan had wanted to use an even better analogy using the "watermelon" term, he could have cited Pelosi and Reid and a "good ole boy" story from the South about the farmer who sat by the road with a pickup truck loaded with watermelons. Nobody was stopping to buy, and he wasn't making any money.

His solution? "I'm gonna haf to buy me a bigger truck!"

Medicare and Medicaid are going broke, the P. O. is in the red, and everything the government tries to run is much the same.

The Pelosi/Red solution? "We need to get us a bigger truck! We'll just take over a sixth of the whole economy!!!"

I did find it slightly amusing and very telling, to watch Chris Matthews on his Sunday talk show, dive in after Dan Rather in an attempt to save the fallen news icon, from shooting himself in the foot... Rather, who once tried to damage former President George W. Bush with forged documents and a misleading "news" story, has found himself having to write "I am not a racist" on the Huffington Post wall of atonement.

Thanks Rhonda Robinson.
