Dan Rather rocks! What a sense of humor. Too bad he's retiring next year.

"Exit polls are stranger than the Northern Lights."

 

[Rastus]

I think he is just misunderestimated.

Uhh...that's not humor. That's his 1940's anchor reporting style. Wow.

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.

I heard a reference to something about Frogs packing pistols .. or, something like that from one of the other shows I was watching. Pretty funny stuff.

I had a manager in the past who would use terms like that. Some of them included:

- Like trying to nail Jello to a wall
- When pigs fly

and many more ...

In our paper this morning, the TV/Radio columnist mentioned that some publicity guy from CBS had offered to fax him a list of the "Ratherisms". The columnist concluded that if CBS had the list already typed up and ready to fax, then they were clearly scripted and not spontaneous.

It was clear he had a list to choose from, I could see him glance right to grab them.

He is retiring and they are letting him have his fun after a looooong career.
