If George hired a new manager for a Yankee team that won the last 10 world series going away and then the Yankees fell to also ran mediocrity and that manager considered a distant third good enough...

George Steinbrenner would have fired Dan Rather long ago.

I think that is perhaps Nuke's perspective.

JB, it's funny that you titled this thread after one of the goofiest, strange and anoying things Rather did. Ending his broadcasts for a while by saying "courage". Sorry, but he has been a joke for a long time.

Even Cronkite just said that he should have left or been fired a long time ago.

What a bag crap biased crap he was. He was caught fabricating more than one major story.

Rather led CBS into a ratings loser.

Just some dude who read the news.  Still, if I had the choice, I think I'd rather sit down for a chat with Dan than I would with Nuke.

He's a guy who's been all over the world and has surely seen a lot of interesting things in the course of his work.  You, on the other hand, are just a dipchit . . . on a BBS.

At least he appologized for the forged document on GWB's service record(though it is prolly very close to the truth)...Still waiting for monkey boy to say sorry for starting the Iraq war based on the phoney African plutonium document that he got Powell to wave in the UN(and the other phoney evidence of WMD) ....:rolleyes:

Deploring the fact that Iraq has not provided an accurate, full, final, and complete disclosure, as required by resolution 687 (1991), of all aspects of its programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a range greater than one hundred and fifty kilometres, and of all holdings of such weapons, their components and production facilities and locations, as well as all other nuclear programmes, including any which it claims are for purposes not related to nuclear-weapons-usable material, -- UNSC 1441

Quote

How much, if any, is left of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and related proscribed items and programs? So far, UNMOVIC has not found any such weapons, only a small number of empty chemical munitions, which should have been declared and destroyed. Another matter and one of great significance is that many proscribed weapons and items are not accounted for. To take an example, a document, which Iraq provided, suggested to us that some 1,000 tonnes of chemical agent were "unaccounted for." One must not jump to the conclusion that they exist. However, that possibility is also not excluded. If they exist, they should be presented for destruction. If they do not exist, credible evidence to that effect should be presented.
-- Hans Blix report to UNSC Feb 14, 2003


No need for corrective lenses for your hindsight SirLoin.

What kind of credible evidence proves that something does not exist?   Just curious.

Post by: Holden McGroin on March 10, 2005, 07:24:43 AM
Ask Hans...  I would think he would accept documentation of destruction or some evidence that previous documentation declaring their existance was in error.

Rather appologized for getting caught! He still says the story is true and if he had more time he could prove it.

Rather is a typical lying liberal whose time has come and went and I for one am thankful he is gone.

You would think other journalist would want to stay away from rather like he had the plague, he did allot of damage to them as a whole.


It is sad that his status, (a pig of more value) kept him from getting what any person not as famous as him would have gotten in the same situation, fired immediately with no farewell speech.

Post by: Maverick on March 10, 2005, 01:11:38 PM
I could be wrong but it was my understanding that rather only agreed to read the apology frm CBS. He didn't aplogize for himself and continued to believe the forgery was valid.

Frankly I seriously doubt there was any objectivity in rather and am not sorry to see him go. If he were on fire, I'd have a hard time justifying peeing on him to put out the fire.

I believe both blather and jb88 share a "different" kind of objectivity..   one not bound by mundane constraints of absolutes.

The end after all, justifies the means.
