Dan Rather Impressed That Redford Will Play Him as 'Truth-Telling'

On Friday, The Washington Post reported what may be obvious. On his own website, disgraced former CBS anchor Dan Rather is thrilled someone’s making a Rathergate movie based on a book by his producer Mary Mapes, the Bonnie to his Clod. It's sad the Hollywood Left is handing money over to Mapes for trying to dig out of that journalistic fiasco.

WOW! A has been loser playing a has been loser. Box office receipts? Probably about as profitable as the hildebeasts tome.

At best...it’d appear on a Friday night...take in $700 with the elitist crowd, $70 from the Saturday night showing, and $7 from the Sunday attendance of one retired teacher. By Monday...the theater manager would be pushing it to be removed and show some monster thriller from the 1970s to make up for losses. The movie would disappear within two weeks after release. Hard to say who’d be stupid enough to finance this...unless it’s a guy wanting to lose a couple of million on purpose.

Of course any truth on this will be lost.
A wonderful Liberal Version of the truth starring Robert Redford from Watergate Days.
Now what role can Dustin Hoffman play so they be in a film together again???????
I can hear Redford now uttering those immortal words spoken by Rather, “What’s the Frequency Kenneth”.

Will Bernie Goldberg make a cameo appearance? He worked with and knows exactly how biased Rather was.

And I used to think Redford was so good looking. Years of internal ugliness are now manifested in his face.

The screenplay will be written so that Redford can blink once for "yes", and twice for "no".
