Drudge: CBS Plans Spring Retirement for Rather

Via Drudge, this NYT piece mentioning easing Document Dan out by May.

Well, I don't know what to say about this. This looks to me like the preamble, the warming-up before the actual firing.

This sounds an awful lot like CBS telling Dan Rather, "I really like you, Dan, but I think we should also see other people." Which usually means, "We're over as a couple the moment I get you to pay your half of the phone bill."

Dan's contract expires in Spring 2005. It'll be as good as any time to drop him while saving face for both party (CBS didn't fired him because of his lapse).

And I was so looking forward to an execution, with Kim Jong-il wielding the revolver. That would be a Gotcha moment...

"Dan, Dan, it's not you, it's me."

"Really?"

"...No, of course not really, you dottering old jackass. Jesus Christ you are gullible."

According to this piece, we're likely to get some advance warning.

Sure, there might be a bit more fancy footwork this time, we're talking about Dan Rather after all.

Yeah Gunga Dan will get his golden parachute and the occasional commentary gig, instead of his head on a pike as a warning to other journalists like he deserves.
Its nice that he's going, but it'd be satisfying if he went messy.

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.
