Stop The ACLU » Blog Archive » Dan Rather Strikes Back
He plays the scapegoat for $70M! I can’t wait to see the blogosphere’s reactions to this news!
Apparently Rather isn’t content with having his career quietly killed off. He intends to make sure that his entire reputation undergoes ritual disembowelment in as blinding a glare of publicity as possible..
CBS’ defense should be interesting.

It feels like Deja Vu all over again today. Dan Rather, O.J. Simpson, Led Zep reuniting, hell I even saw Alice Cooper in an ad for golf balls or something.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
The Police playing Madison Square Garden.
Britney Spears in front of a judge being ordered to take random drug and alcohol tests.
And Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Deja Vu is right.
If I were Dan Rather, I’d trade in that reputation for $70 mil. He must have started reading blogs and found out what he had, or made some bad investments with his severance package. Either way, I’m stocking up on pretzels and beer for the show.
I am sitting here in open-mouthed astonishment reading this (and for once, that’s not a figurative device—I literally sat there with my jaw hanging open for a minute or so). Forget the windmills of the gentle knight of La Mancha: Gunga Don Quixote is tilting at bunkers full of machine guns. That never has a happy ending, except in the movies. Of course his Sancho Panza, Mary Mapes, is still wedded to the whole hilarious affair. May they be struck upside the head with the TrueType standard manuals, and be belaboured about the gizzard with a tome detailing the history of the Times Modern font, including a treatise on ABC widths.
