Disgraced former anchorman Dan Rather is 92 years old, and CBS, the network that fired him for trying to rig the 2004 presidential election, has joined the shameless rehab campaign.
During the waning weeks of the 2004 presidential election, Dan Rather was determined to ensure incumbent Republican president George W. Bush did not win reelection. And so, on 60 Minutes II, he ran a story that claimed Bush went AWOL during his time in the Texas Air National Guard. The story was true, and Rather had the documents to prove it. The story was also phony and timed to devastate the wartime president. Bush Jr. was exposed as a liar and shirker, in contrast with his Democrat opponent, John Kerry, who served a few months in Vietnam.

The story credits Free Republic as one of the (then new) websites that tripped Rather up.
It would be great if we could be linked to the Free Republic stories from that time.

It hurts me to know that Rather is a Texan. A hundred years ago a lying sack of obama like Rather would most likely hang.

Dan Rather is the last news clown to pass for a journalist — until the day he didn’t.

“Rather” ironic that he comes back when GW is considered a darling because of his relationship with Obama and dislike of Trump.

No thanks. If he and they want, I’ll consider him ‘rehabilitated’ when I see him lying in a casket.

the line looks to be intended as sarcasm.

Rehabilitate means to restore someone to their former self. He was a lying, corrupt a-hole to begin with. He’s still a lying, corrupt a-hole.

The dims are bringing back their heroes from generations ago. Biden is one of them. Current voters under 40 have no clue who Rather or Biden is or their history. Kind of telling that they have to reach back into the past and don’t have anyone current that they can use to push for the communist cause.
