Sayonara, Dan Rather

This Slate.com writer says about the "Gunga Dan" what I've been saying for years.

Homeboy is NUTS! I love that crazy guy. Remember when John-John died in the plane crash and all the networks went live with it because the Kennedys are basically our version of the British royals and Dan was on the air and in a moment of pure insanity uttered, "I think it was said somewhere, in the Bible someone said, 'Keep hope alive.'"

I swear. Jesse Jackson should have DEMANDED proper attribution. Although I'm sure Rev. Jackson didn't mind being confused with the Bible.

And election night. My land, he was like Ross Perot on meth with the Texas-sized verbal histronics.

Bye Dan. Thanks for ruining CBS. I'll miss you.
