Goodbye Dan Rather,

and good riddance, sir.

This man is the most pathetic excuse for a “journalist” in the country.

I make that claim not because he says things on a national news broadcast like “This race is hotter than a Laredo parking lot,” or “This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex,” no, I make this claim because he has a completely liberal bias that he refuses to acknowledge.

When asked why he thinks he has so many conservative critics he responded: “I am independent and fiercely independent.”

Yeah, so independent that he was the keynote speaker at a Texas Democrat fundraiser a few years back.

Yeah Dan, that’s strong sign of your so-called fierce independence.

But let’s face it, the most telling episode of his ridiculously left wing agenda was his personal attempt to keep George W. Bush from being re-elected in 2004, in the so-called Bush National Guard records story he aired just weeks before the election.

It goes without saying that the CBS news division is infected with liberalism like a cancer, so it’s no real surprise that those obviously forged documents claiming W. was AWOL for periods of his service time would even make it to Rather’s desk.

Even their own expert told them they better wait, the documents don’t look right. They appeared to be written on a computer (not a typewriter) that was not even around in 1972, but old Dan wanted to believe them so he ran with it.

We all know nobody’s perfect, so even though he ran a story no other news organization would touch, a story so obviously fake that a high school journalism student would take an “F” for running it; that isn’t the main issue.

So he runs it, but when every single document expert in the country says the documents are forged, Dan stood by the story. Day after day, week after week, and even to this day HE STILL STANDS BY THAT STORY!!!

His single-minded hatred of W. has made him delusional, and his extreme arrogance prevents him from seeing what a fool he is.

I looked up the word “arrogance” in the dictionary today; it had his picture under it.

Do we need more Dan? I'd Rather not.

So goodbye Dan, and good riddance.
