Right now poor Dan is muttering to himself as he walks down the hallway, looking at the portraits of Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow on the walls, lashing out at the transcripts of his own recorded words.

Okay. I officially wet myself reading this, just now. :)

You start to get the feeling that this guy would regard John Kerry as a blood brother even if he weren't liberal. Is anything ever his own fault?

I keep thinking of the OJ Simpson beginnings. "I was playing golf. No, wait, I was in Chicago."

In a week or two there will be a low-speed chase involving a white Ford Bronco driven by Mike Wallace, who will then stop, get out, and assault a cop.

Check out the evening news lately? Dan's even looking like Nixon, with the short haircut and the cheek wattles wobbling.

Please do NOT mention Dan Rather and the word "throbbing" together in the same sentence ever again. Thank you. :)

Kent,

To whom are you speaking?

Oops. Sorry: scanned in haste, and misread "wobbling" for "throbbing." Totally My Bad. :)

Speaking of liberal media, is it just me, or have they all jumped on board with that newly-coined term (or did it originate in 1972??) 'sugarcoat'? Because yet again, it is in an MSNBC.com sub-header on the Allawi/Bush garden conferenc...

"This third-rate forgery is a cancer on the liberal media."

Perfect.

Riiiiiight, Kent. You know what reud would say. Wasn't it you who made the "Birdcage" reference a couple of days ago? I'm starting to worry about you, Kent.

Er Freud, not reud. A bit of Psychoanalytical Lingerie of my own....

Dan Rathter is not a cancer on the liberal media; the liberal media is the cancer - he's just a tumor that's popped up through the skin.

I remember reading how Nixon would watch his favorite movie, "Patton," over and over (sometimes twice a day) during the worst of Watergate.

I'd bet Rather holes up in his home watching "All the President's Men" to soothe his troubled mind.

in rathers second 60minll he expressed his own impression of doc's describing them as 'possibly recreated'impling a lack of concern for authenticity

There comes a time in every mans life when he must accept responsibility for what he has done wrong and be repentant. Dan Rather and his consorts should humble themselves and admit their crime against the American people. He attempted, or so it would seem, to fraudulently influence the thoughts and opinions of the American people against our president to satisfy his own personal ideology. He knew, or should have known that the documents were fraudulent. He is not now and never shall be, a patriot and I shall never trust anything he says or CBS broadcasts.

This simply confirms what I have suspected for many years, that the media is a self appointed kingmaker. CBS has violated the basic tenant of the trust which provides them an operating license to use the American peoples radio waves for commercial gain and the public good.

Mr. Rather must be terminated.

Rather isn't going anywhere. Birds of a feather flock together. Dan is a member of the New York intellectual elite as is the DNC, NYT, NBC, ABC, CNN et al. We mortal humans can't break the back of a concerted, moneyed plot, to appoint their king for president.

What's frustrating the intellectuals now is why a man as *intelligent* and *introspective* as John Kerry, is on the low side of the polls. After all, they've lied for him for so well for so long. So what's wrong with a little hanky panky to even the playing field? You'd be foolish to believe anything has changed since liberalism in the news media goes back to Cronkie himself. His deliberate reporting on the Tet offensive in Vietnam is one example. Was he fired or forced out? Of course not. Pirranah aren't cannibals.

You now have the old guard coming out to support him. [Not only are the documents forgeries Dan, the trash in them is equally a lie]. People like Helen Thomas, Geraldo Rivera, etc. say he's only reading the teleprompter, he's a good man. Well, didn't he say you can be honest and lie? He is still convinced that the "message is true" and is working feverishly to "make it so".

Yet with all of the backlash he's standing firm? I think to us non-intellectuals it's called an obsession. A quest. A grail. The President is his windmill. Bottom line, you can't take down an icon of the establishment unless you make keeping him around so financially painful, there is no other recourse.

Hey Ace--

Just wondering if it's in good taste to refer to the metaphorical cutting off of heads when the real thing is happening right now.

Can't we just get some more "steamy dung under a hot Texas sun" references from Rather?

Cheers,

Syncronicity is working overtime due to Dan, these days.

I posted a lenghty missive to all CBS Afils today thru Rathergate.com and hit your same Nixon theme twice about Rather's late night rambles dowm poitrait lane at Big Black Eye HQ, a la Trickey.

However my "unimpeachabe, expert source" informed me that Dans' musings and mumbles were due to the solice and influnce of his new best friend - a Mr. Crackpipe!

Seems Dan will only takes calls now from a, Luis from the Bronx, rumored to be the "dude" who introduced Dan to his new best fried.

Word is, Andy R. was heard to say, "don't you just hate it when your trying to help an old, good friend in times of need, you know, be there for him, share and all, and he dosen't even show you the coursety of toke or two? I mean, really. I know I do.

I mean, Dan, or Rather, I mean my firend, says I, can't you get Luis to visit you after hours for a reload, hun? The poor guy couldn't stop blathering to old Fred Friendly's mug about the inequities of this Thornberg guy being his judge and jury. He' worried about retribution from the Reagan years.

I sure hope Luis comes back by soon, I'am really worried about Dan, he just asked me to kneel down and pray in front of Walter's spot."

(and then this)

Tell Dan to call his pal Joe to get those twin John running mates who are rummored to be channelers and ask then to pysche in ole Dick Nixon and see if it's true that he's just dancing a jig in the Great Beyond, singing, "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,- Pay Backs are Hell, he, he, he., Help, Your Melting, Yea, Dan, and your little dog, Toto, too!"

The acutual rumor is that it's Dan's minions at BBE HQ who are whisling this little ditty down the hallways. Andy said, Don't you just hate that?"

(in the good ole days, this would be first class fodder for a SNL skit, just too juicy!)

(and, Teddy's Cutlass))

Now Dan’s implicating his boss, claiming just last night that he had said to him just before 9/8/04 something like “ this (story) is going to create a great controversy, you have to be in on this.” A real Haldeman gesture.

Really?

Running scared now, Dan?

Bet you told Mapes before the 9/8/04 attempted smear-job broadcast, when you had already told your boss about the “GREAT CONTRAVERSEY”, “ ah, don’t sweat it, Mar, we maybe oNow Dan’s implicating his boss, claiming just last night that he had said to him just before 9/8/04 something like “ this (story) is going to create a great controversy, you have to be in on this.” A Haldeman gesture.

Really?

Running scared now, Dan?

Bet you told Mapes before the 9/8/04 attempted smear job broadcast, “ ah, don’t sweat it, Mar, we’re on thin ice with these memos, maybe, but chill - I got cover from the Division Pres.. Besides, so what if W’s the Pres, big whoop, I took down Tricky Dick, as a cub, didn’t I. You’re not just taking a ride in Teddy’s Cutlass -your driving with, - THE MAN, babe, right, so chill!”

Well, Har, har? Think Dan’s laughing much lately? Highly doubtful.

(mAPES, WHERE'S MAY NEW BEST FRIED!!!)

Sick 'em Ace, we've waited to long for this moment in time. Remember, laughter is the best medicne, so joke 'em if they can't take a ......
