So, where will Dan Rather, for so many years a phrase-turning staple on CBS' election-night coverage, going to be this Nov. 7.

On the show where a lot of people are getting their news and views these days: Comedy Central's Daily Show.

According to the show, Rather, now a "global correspondent" for Mark Cuban's HDNet, will be a guest on Jon Stewart's show, which has won acclaim and awards for its tongue-only-slightly-in-cheek "Indecision"-branded election coverage.

1. This should be interesting - recommended

2. ROFL .... now that's going to be fun!!!

:rofl:


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq .... and, now he willfully provided nuke-making instructions to terrorists -- if you doubt it, just check 'the google' ...

3. Fantastic! I was just thinking how much I'd miss Dan's great metaphors on Tuesday. -eom

6. "it's going to be hotter than a west texas parking lot in august"

4. How Many hours will their coverage be? That would be wild if they

went live.

Though they probably would rather watch themselves.

7. I think he said One Hour

Jon Stewart and Dan Rather....together. Sweet.

[Sydnie]

9. And Stephen Colbert too

It will be an hour because they will be doing the show together! Wonder how many times Stephen will cry as they read the results?

10. Don't they do their show around 5pm eastern time?

I too hope they go live for election night and broadcast after some returns are in.

18. According to the Comedy Central site,

they will be live at 11pm on election night. Should be good.

[applegrove]

21. Didn't think if that. But at least they can cover any mid-day "disputes" or

suppression by that time.

[SeattleGirl]

5. Wow! Can't wait to see THAT!

:bounce:

8. This'll be good! K&R!

11. Well I know where I will park my fanny

John Stwart you are the man

[Peggy Day]

12. Darn, I volunteered to be a poll worker, and I'm going to miss

everything. I have to be there 6am to 9pm. Long day.

[Virginian]

16. Your polls must not open until 7.

Ours open at 6 and we always have a long line. We have very few waiting in line at 7:00 closing.
Think of it this way - You will be one of the first to know how your neighborhood voted. You are on the inside, now. Everytime any voter complains about anything, give them an application to work the polls. It makes them realize you are just another neighbor volunteering your time. I know, we do get paid for it, but not what it is worth.

[Jim Sagle]

13. Maybe he'll get a chance to look the camera in the eye and say

"As for YOU Mr. Booooosh, fuck off ya fuckin' deserter!!!"

[Diane R]

14. Well, that seals it. I'll be watching Comedy Central n/t

[Mr_Spock]

15. I wonder how many "Ratherisms" he'll coin on TDS

:D

[UrbScotty]

17. Oh this is gonna be GOOD... (nt)

[williesgirl]

19. Need to remember to post reminders here Tuesday night.

[Cha]

20. Allow me to be the 13th recommendation

for this commendable news. What a coup for Stewart and the Daily SHow to get Dan Rather!

22. Sweet n/t
