He got help from the the SC in 2000 and from the Ohio voting machines in 2004.

I don't think he actually would have won either election fair and square.

That way we won't make the potentially tragic mistake of not voting.

Because if it means what I think you meant, fuck your attempt at making funny over people suffering from dementia. May your life be blessed without knowing it.

Rather and Maddow enjoyed a charming rapport. It's sad that you had to reduce it to a hideous "joke" about mature people.

I especially love what he said about the modern MSM's habit of reporting ridiculous equivocations, and he called them out on it. He said that's not the way you report the news; if one guy says something horrible, you are not required to overblow something his opponent said just to seem "fair." Go Rather, you're the last of a great generation of newsmen

He has said it before, that he thinks Romney has a chance. I just cringe when it happens, because of my respect for rather's opinion.

His ousting still pisses me off. I"m not a conspiracy theorist, but he was totally set up and the country fell for it. We miss you, Dan!
