Dan Rather has still got balls! |
|
As he signed off tonight, he said he was leaving for Iraq. The old guy is still a REAL journalist. Rather is at his best when he is reporting, always has been.

2. Rather has been my hero for years |
|
A classic Rather moment was the evening he had it out with then President Bush I (daddy to president bush II), live and in color on the CBS Evening News.

6. Wolfowitz will then accuse him of holing up in a Baghdad hotel... |

... because he's "afraid," so instead, he'll just report "rumors."
I really enjoyed listening to Christiane Amanpour lay into Wolfowitz this afternoon. Dan Rather again proves Wolfowitz wrong, by traveling to Iraq. Isn't Peter Jennings there right now, too?

9. Hmm. I can see Wolfie getting his revenge upon Christiane |
|
(one of the best journalists out there) by referring to her Iranian roots, and insinuating some kind of unorthodox sympathies on her part. The man is a total hose.

I've got real respect for him.
When those of his age die, it'll just be blow-dried talking heads who have no idea of the substance they are reading, and mispronounce half the words anyway.
