I happened to flip it on last night for about 2 minutes last night. He had the kerry's daughters on there, they said something about it's time for a change, Rather said something along the lines of "We'll sure try". It was very aparent who he was rooting for.

He made some comments about double wide trailers and other country esque terms.....this is what I am looking for.

Like ~"if a frog had pockets it'd be carrying a handgun"? :p WTF does that mean? Is that a Canadian joke?

Watching Blather that night was the best part. Not only did he remind me of a man who had bitten heavily down on a lemon whilst simultaneously crapping his depends and having his icecream fall off his cone. He was also on crack. Don't believe me? Read these quotes:

"Bush's lead is thin as November ice."

"The election is hotter than the Devils anvil"

"It won't mean a thing unless they get the swings"

"Only votes talk, everything else walks"

"Bush is sweeping through the midwest like a big combine"

"A Tachacardia inducing Race"

"Our Coverage is like White on Rice"

"We're going to need Billy Crystal to Analyze This."

"Beehive state is a bee hive for George Bush."

"...win his pot of Golden State delegates in california."

"Let me italicize underscore put in all caps..."

"If you read the tea leaves before the tea is done you can get burned."

"This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex and has been all night long."

"Exit polls are stranger than the Northern Lights."

(I missed one where he said something about a furnace and a gasoline suit)

"Election is crackling like a hickory fire for the last hour and a half."

"Doesn't mean Kerry is going to win, It means you can play a verse of 'Johnny be Good'"

"These are the kinds of nights that give campaign managers a case of the Hives."

"thinner than turnip soup"

"nasty enough to make a buzzard puke"

"just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it can fly"

"time to wind your watch or bark at the moon"

"if a frog had pockets it'd be carrying a handgun"

I fear that man has taken leave of his senses and gone completely f*cking batsh*t insane.

I watched Dan Rather the same way some would watch a train wreck.. dont wanna look but...

He tried sooo hard not to give an inch to Bush. He grasped at EVERY straw kerry had. He absolutely CHOKED on everything that Bush won. The longer it droned on, the more his mouth frowned!

I was sooo embarrassed for him.
