Dan Rather is a real newsman, part of a generation of trusted, introspective sources, along with Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw. But with Jennings dead, Brokaw retired, and Rather forced from CBS within a year of each other, news as we know it has ended. Rather is a real reporter, unlike Katie Couric, his replacement after Bob Schieffer (who is a real newsman as well) is taken from his interim role. Rather is well known for his reports on Kennedy's assassination, Nixon's impeachment, Vietnam, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Suddam's tourture chambers.
Unfortunately, Rather will be remembered for his drawn out voice and one error in reporting, more than for all the good things he did. Like the news has never fucked up a little deatail in a story before?
Rather is also probably the only reporter to have a top 10 rock his written about him. REM's What's the Frequency, Kenneth, is about an incident in the 1980s in which a crazy guy beat up Rather because he thought the media was controling him mind.

Dan Rather reported real news. Not like this bullshit from Catie Kouric, or the fake and twisted news from Fox.

Get the would you rather mug.it is a cameo of infinitude that many fail to comprehend with their increasingly miniscule sphere of thought in which other banal rungs of ideas and thoughts are seated before the graces of the power that is the vastness of reason and all that is good in the world (including spice and everything nice, but the stuff that makes up boys (which i do not choose to explicate in this space for its pure vulgarity in the face of "rather")may be included if one takes the bokonist view of "as it ought to have been")
That was exceedingly rather.

Get the rathed mug.Adj. Re-hart-did - The attemp to be nice, but end up being annoying and stubborn. Thinking your helping out and being the mature one by going "out of your way" to help someone else out. Usally complicates the situation. Being reheated is usally followed by a rant, or unnecessary explanation. Common with retards.
