I thought that was the paranoid schizoprenic who attacked Rather in NY?

Keeper (of too much crap)

He has been unhinged for a loooong time:

When the space shuttle accident occurred he came on the air and said
something like "Yet another setback for the already trouble plagued space
shuttle and NASA" before even telling anyone what happened.

I think he should be banned from the air-waves and then....

(sorry for the OT post)

It has been sometime since I listened to him. I am trying to figure out
when he affected his current "southern" drawl. He certainly didn't have
it twenty years ago or even ten years ago.

Sure looks like it's time to call in Dr. Jack Kevorkian to pull the
plug on this guy. :)

I believe he was actually born in Texas, so perhaps he was returning to his
roots. Much like when "Jerrry Rivers" went back to being Geraldo Rivera...

I got tired of Rather's rant after the "too-tight swimsuit on a too-hot
car seat" line. Donm't know what he came up with after that, as I was
watching someone less interested in adding entertainment value to my news.

About the same time he was drummed out of the US Marine Corps.

Rush had a whole series of his nuggets on his show today. The man (Rather)
sounded as if he was trying to use every old cliche in the book.
It's better to have entered a model contest and lost, than to have collected
stamps.

What the hell?

I didn't even know that there was a model of Dan Rather! What scale? Injection
molded?

What part is hinged? Please let it be the top of the head. Excellent Jelly
Belly holder.

You mean Dan "President Reagan is dead" Rather? Dan "Tonkin Gulf II" Rather?
Dan "troubled space program" Rather?

Wouldn't catch Cronkite up to such mischief....

The model would HAVE to have an electric motor in it...to move the lips...hence,
the term "motor mouth"...

As much as I respect Cronkite, he and Wally Schirra went through a big
"whew" routine and said Neil Armstrong was on the moon when he was
clearly still hopping up and down from the LM's foot to the bottom
rung of the ladder. He actually said "I'm going to step off the LEM
now" after the Walt and Wally "whew" show.

I always preferred NBC's space coverage.

Cast in pink styrene. He is known as 'Red Dan' in certain
conservative circles. Biased reporting anyone?
