What Dan Rather said 4 years ago . . .

Some quotes from Dan Rather on Election Night, 2000, or, "I'm just a plain-speakin', good ol' country multimillion-dollar-earning CBS anchorman":

"[The presidential race is] as hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride back from the beach."

"[George W. Bush] will be madder than a rained-on rooster . . ."

"[While Al Gore's] back's against the wall, his shirttail's on fire and the bill collector's at the door."

"If a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a handgun."

 

[Galahad]

I guess there are one or two reasons not to want Rather to retire. Who else would be this entertaining?

I like to use him for target practice. My youngest son has a toy (probably Nerf) that shoots little arrows w/suction cups on the end and I shoot them at the tv when DR is on.

Dan Rather did not say any of these things. It didnt happen.

Although Dan Rather was making some pretty funny comments that night I don't remember any of those comments being them.

"Kenneth, what is the frequency?"

According to my "The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said" page-a-day calendar for today, he did.
