Suggested Nom De Guerre's for Dan Rather - Dick Tracy style!
Self | Sep 22, 2004 | Self

Posted on 09/22/2004 3:22:47 AM PDT by The Duke

It seems to me that the Memogate/Rathergate scandal has grown to such proportions that the time has come for Dan Rather to earn a nickname or two. In the old Dick Tracy cartoons the gangsters had nicknames that reflected their various attributes.

If Dan Rather was to appear as the villian in a Dick Tracy cartoon what are some appropriate nicknames you might suggest?

Dan "Memomaker" Rather.

Not in the sense that he made the memos himself, but rather in the sense that he tried to give them legimacy.

"We've been calling him "Dirty Dan" in the BLL home for over 20 years."

Change it to "Tricky Dan" (yes, the reference to Nixon aka "Tricky Dick" is deliberate!). I'm sure Rather would REALLY HATE THAT.
