Whenever my blood gets up about reporters, I am reminded of Mark Twain's observation that reporters were all drunks and liars, coupled with General William Tecumseh Sherman's observation that reporters were all gossips and spies, I soon start smiling again at the leftist, self absorbed Molotov Mob who don't give a literal damn about anyone but themselves.
For years as a little boy, I watched Walter Cronkite on CBS as my family had to do chores with cattle and I was left alone with babysitter Walt scaring the bajesus out of me in telling me guerrillas were shooting American soldiers in Vietnam. I of course thought they were gorillas and was perplexed as a 7 year old how terrifying it had to be to have armed monkeys trained to shoot at you. Thanks Walt for not explaining the news so even young minds could understand.
Upon the old walrus' exit, I actually wanted pretty boy Dan Rather to get the job over Roger Mudd. Mudd had that dirty name going for him and Dan in those years was quite the pretty boy.
Pretty was a horrendous mistake for CBS and world as Roger Mudd proved time and again what a brilliant person he was doing the dregs jobs and making the stories come to life.
It in the later years that I coined the phrase "Constipated for Thought" for Dan Rather, because if you ever looked at him in talking he always looked like he was doing a bowel check with each word spoken. Old Dan went on to develop brain sprains and show his ever increasing Bob Barker bimbo hating vocabulary in announcing nightly, "Connie Chung is OFF tonight".
Emphasis on OFF in meaning, the dragon lady was insane.
In that, I have the fondest of memories of Dan Rather. His in depth coverage with Connie of O J Simpson in the 20 mph police chase where Dan exclaimed, "I see someone at the back of the vehicle!" to which Connie replied, "Ah Dan, that is the spare tire".
Dan had allot of Blather moments. The time he was in Yugoslavia telling the world how dangerous it was there, his ducking and talking with each word.....and then the camera pulled back to show 2 old geezer Slavs laying above him exposed on the hill like they were having a nice lunch time snooze.
Nice try Dan, but next time get the locals out of the shot when you are claiming you are being shot at.
Dan though went on to get his butt kicked by Daddy Bush, went on to get more American soldiers murdered by fomenting Abu Gharib and finally took his malevolent exit with having a part in forging documents as a shill for the Democratic National Committee against President Bush.
A good thing though in Dan on cable can not be quiet long as today Dan popped up taking a few shots at Katie Couric. Ole Perky has not been fairing so well and Dan related that CBS with Couric went with the evening news and to dumb it down, tart it up in hopes of attracting a younger audience."
I find Rather's mean statement quite funny as considering the brain dead broadcasts Rather put on air which lost viewers in droves filled in with his lying and propaganda literally destroyed the CBS news division leaving only that twit Harry Smith and the fossilized Mike Wallace.
The most puzzling part in this was the "tart" slap at Couric. I have heard time and again how Perky was so tarty like she was the wet dream of every male in the world, but in all honesty in this gentleman's opinion she is short, stout, her thighs are like timber logs husky, her hair is in need of shampoo, her voice is like gravel and her personality is like the hair pulling little girls in school whose daddy is rich and they look down on everyone else.
None of that has any appeal to men or women in bed or out as Couric is a Mommy Dearest character crossed with Pugsley from the Adams Family.
No offense Katie, but if a man loved you it would be one thing to overlook the problems.......but even love is not going to make you a tart one wants to cuddle with.
But Dan in typically getting it wrong with dumb tart statements for the C Bimbo S news which can't do it with or without Dan is just headed for more Les Mooves moments that will have investors reaching for their own Maalox moment.
If CBS had any brains, they would hire either Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern. Limbaugh would infuriate the left, but the left left CBS a long time ago. I believe that the only people left watching CBS are invalids and people who lost their remotes and can't switch the station.
Stern if hired would be effective if you could just get him to grow up and not ask sex questions about everything. He is a brilliant mind, a great interviewer and ran circles around Phil Donahue when Phil was screwing everyone over with his hands flailing about.
Convince Howard Stern to actually show up for work as a man and not a pervert and you would have a "give em hell" Harry Truman anchor who would rip everyone a new one no matter the party.
But CBS will not do that, they will just ride Perky around until she is done after the elect Hillary network is done running it's 3000 hours of pro Clinton campaign ads also known as the CBS Evening News.
As for David Gregory, I just found his picture online and just laughed at it. Since poor Don Imus got his testicles cut off, Gregory has been donned the salvation of reporters taking up the Imus torch. Great choice media in picking a whining, moody, nasty woman trapped in a semi male body. It didn't work putting a hermaphrodite Couric into Dan's chair and it will not work as Gregory melts down into a bottle of Kennedy cocktails with a NyQuil chaser.
Salute the modern reporter, all the same worthless self absorbed addicts as they always have been since the town crier figured out it was easier nattering on than actually working for a living.
