Dan Rather in attendance
I spotted Dan Rather walking around the Park City Marriott a couple of hours ago. I should have cornered him, asked what's doing, taken his picture...but I'm a notorious wimp when it comes to such opportunities. Unlike Rather, I presume. Let's face it -- in the old days Rather would have looked down his nose at covering this festival and schlepping around like the rest of us. We're living in a new world.

The next time you see him, punch him in the face, call him Kenneth, and ask him what the frequency is.

Please thank Dan Rather for helping to re-elect Bush, if you would. He'll go "huh, wha...?" because he's addled by Bush Derangement Syndrome, and that's when you punch him in the face.

That wasn't Rather, it was a hobo fresh off the train. Didn't you notice the bandanna bag attached to the stick?

Just keep Rather away from "Cloverfield." That idiot probably won't be able to recognize it as a fake!

Yes, you're right Stephe96, Cloverfield is fake, and there really isn't a monster attacking New York City.
The difference between that and Rather's situation though is that while his particular evidence may or may not be fake, Bush really was a draft dodger and really didn't fulfill his commitments.
Ya heard !

But what's done is done. Right? So what if he dodged a draft, stole an election, started an unprovoked war, lied to the American people, violated the constitution, choked on a pretzel, and crippled both our economy and world standing.
Who's keeping count? You? Certainly not me.
I wonder if Dan Rather was, hmmmm....

Bents75, you forgot to mention the bags and bags of puppies he drowned and the lollipops he stole from sweet little children.
Shit, I gotta run. There's a squad of civil-liberty-crushing storm troopers smashing their way through my front door.

"Choked on a pretzel"...the proverbial camel breaking straw.

BENTS,
If that's true, why did Rather have to rely on phony documents to support his case? Tell me: did you believe Rather when he told you his sources were 'unimpeachable?' Or did you believe him when he said he couldn't "authenticate" them? Why doesn't Rather simply reveal where he got those documents and then we can all determine for ourselves whether or not they're reliable?

Rather defines hack reporting.
I wonder if he thinks the forged documents are in Utah. Hes really getting to the bottom of that story.
How does he still walk around with his head held high? Either he got played badly by a drunk or he was in the tank for the Democratic Party. Tough to have ANY credibility left after that.
