Dan Rather: GOPers ‘Seek to Cut Out President Obama’s Heart & Throw His Liver to the Dogs’ By Brad Wilmouth Created 11/21/2010 - 12:00pm

By Brad Wilmouth | November 21, 2010 | 12:00

On Sunday’s syndicated Chris Matthews Show, panel member and former CBS anchor Dan Rather - currently with HDNET - made an over the top metaphor about the Republican Party wanting to "cut out President Obama’s heart and throw his liver to the dogs." The panel was having a discussion of the likelihood of gridlock, with substitute moderator Norah O’Donnell asking, "Isn’t there some pressure on the Republicans not to deal?"

Inspiring hysterical laughter from panel member Katty Kay of the BBC, Rather quipped: "All kinds of pressure, and I think they stated it straightforwardly - some may say it is harsh - but politically they seek to cut out President Obama’s heart and throw his liver to the dogs. That’s what it’s gonna be. They’ve said it directly that’s in their political interest, and that’s what they’ll be trying to do between now and 2012."

It sounds like the Democrats might get to Barky’s liver and heart first.

LOL! What a drama queen.

You just know that the stories of starving grandmas, homeless puppies, jobless fathers and suffering children are going to be ENDLESS now that the GOP holds the House.

The media will search high and low and no rock will go unturned to find the multitudes in misery that went undiscovered until now.

Dan Rathers is CERTIFIABLE!!

For sane people, that is a pejorative.

For liberals, being certifiable enhances their likelihood of being certified for a position of power.

Rather’s a commie. There’s always a seat for America haters on news panels.

Who is Dan Rather?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I think he is some old, washed up, washed out lying hack.

In actuality wasn’t this what he said should be done to GWB and probably EVERY President with an R behind his name.

Like Leno said the other night. (NOT nearly a quote)
I think I am in a time warp.
Jerry Brown just got elected Gov of Cal and Hawaii 50 is the top TV show

But the “LEFT” is really getting desperate.
Wheeling out the ‘old lib’ broadcasters,
Nurturing ‘quotes’ out of GHWB and Barbara - two people while in office they scowled every time they had to mention their name, now dissect every little word they say and ‘use’ it to their advantage...
