Best of: Top Ten Signs That Dan Rather Has Gone Senile


10. Says that he invented spicy Chinese chicken-and-broccoli dish; has filed an infringement lawsuit against famed military leader/cooking enthusiast General Tso

9. Keeps insisting his "maid is stealing from" him, which is doubly embarassing, because 1) she's not stealing from him and 2) she's not his maid, she's Big Brother hostess Julie Chen

8. Claims that he leaves on his car's left-turn indicator for weeks at a time "as an act of political dissent"

7. Won't stop pitching his idea for an Apprentice-inspired reality television show called "The Geriatric Nurse;" has already trademarked the show's catch-phrase, "I made a stinky; come wipe me"

6. Has begun screaming "Get out of my yard!" to squirrels; also occasionally yells this at trees

5. Keeps angering Ed Bradley by telling him, "Back in my day, guys who wore earrings were trying to tell you something, and it wasn't 'God Save the Queen'"

4. Just accepted an invitation to join Senator Robert Byrd for a weekend of fishin', huntin', and Klannin'

3. Whenever Leslie Stahl walks by his office, embarasses her by shouting out "Man, I gots to get me some of that!"

2. Last year's personalized Christmas cards featured a creepy picture of a bound-and-gagged woman with the strange inscription, It puts the lotion in the basket-- Seasons Greetings from Dan

...and the number one sign Dan Rather has gone senile...

1. Claims that no one has yet challenged "the essence of his story" that he jumped the Snake River Canyon in 1975


Note: This was originally about Andy Rooney. I have "recontextualized" it for relevance in today's fast-moving media landscape

Lotion in the basket - man, that is the killer line. One of these days someone will hurt themselves while reading that, but will you be sorry? Nah.

It puts the lotion in the basket

Man that line is becoming a fast classic to be used for numerous comedic purposes.

I heard Dan's being going around the news room telling anyone who will listen, "I want you to stonewall it!"

Posted by: Collie on September 18, 2004 02:30 AM

According to powerline, Dan's headed to Texas.

Mary Mapes also claims 'We have lots more documents, you just wait.'

I'm still wondering what in the flaming *(&)( could they _think_ they have that would make them keep digging? Burkett's surely figured out how to forge by NOW.

"We have lots more documents" is how Mary Mapes recontextualizes.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
