Has Dan Rather finally lost it?

Question

Danny-boy is suing his former employer for 70 mil claiming "intentional mishandling" of the botched Bush hatchet job that got him pushed out.

Isn't intentional mishandling an oxymoron?

Did Danny-boy intentionally mishandle the story? Is he jealous of Katie Couric? Does he miss his job? Is he short of cash?

Answer 1

He's not getting the profile he thought he would get on HDNet as their prime reporter. Guess he has decided that he needs some press time, and this is a good topic to go with.

The simple fact is that a large number of people in the US hate Pres. Bush. People can get traction on nearly ANYTHING that they can even blame just a little bit on Pres. Bush. Take Hurricane Katrina. 100% faulty hurricane plan, which was on the web if anyone cared to read it, that really only went up to a Cat 3 hurricane, and only said that a 4 or 5 would make things much worse. Not a whole lot done on the part of the citizens of New Orleans in planning what they would do when a hurricane hit. Oh, and for all you living on the coast, it's not if, it's when one hits. A city government that did nothing. Not even a mandatory evacuation order. A state government that did nothing, except ask for "everything" after the hurricane. But, it's all Pres Bush's fault. He's the one who told people they didn't have to stash food and water in the event of a hurricane. He's the one who told everyone that they didn't have to evacuate. He's the one who wrote the hurricane plan that stated, IN THE PLAN, that "shelters of last resort" will not necessarily be stocked with food and water as all of these people come flocking to them. He's the one who told the city to do nothing. At least that is what we are told to believe.
And then New Orleans re-elects Nagin. Explain that one to me please.

This is nothing more than someone else trying to make a buck off of the unpopularity of Pres. Bush. Had Kerry been elected, Rather would not only have not been fired, but DNC would have a gold statue of him in the lobby of their headquarters, faked story or not.

He rolled the bones, and he rolled snake-eyes. You gambled and lost, Dan.

Answer 2

Whoever pronounced S&W makes the final revolvers funds would desire to purchase hasn't bought too many S&W's in the previous few years. in case you purchase one at present, you have a brilliant probability of edges so tough that they decrease dermis, grips so badly synthetic that they have got a million/8" gaps to the physique, cylinders that isn't turn top out of the field, splotchy ending, loose screws, on and stale shopper help (they the two traded you a sparkling gun or they back yours unserviced and charged you besides) etc etc etc. One fellow i comprehend despatched his in for servicing and it got here back rusted. approximately 5 years in the past, on the firearms boards, an inner memo from S&W have been given circulated that pronounced that greater advantageous than 12% (twelve out of each and every hundred) of their firearms have been back as unservicable. 2 or 3 years back, between the main significant firearms magazines did a evaluate on some new S&W revolver that had purely hit the stands....and that they had to return the firearm *SIX* circumstances beforehand it replaced into secure to check. S&W hasn't been the suited considering the fact that they grew to alter into remote places owned in the mid 70's....and while they bought out to the Handgun administration Inc idiots in the ninety's, they grew to alter into junk to truly some shooters. i might purchase a Dan Wesson in a heartbeat....i does not purchase a sparkling S&W if it replaced into 0.5 the value.

Answer 3

I think he's made a dreadful mistake. I expect the network to introduce as evidence a tape of "The Wall Within". It was an award-winning documentary hosted by Dan Rather and aired in 1988. The program tried to show how the lives and health of several men had been screwed up by their involvement in the war in Vietnam. The trouble is that none of those men had ever been in 'Nam! Coupled with the Bush National Guard story, it can show a pattern of Rather not fact-checking stories with his name on them, giving the network ample reason for letting him go.

Answer 4

I dont think he needs the cash and no one is jealous of Katie.
He got called on something that other newscasters get by with all of the time. He probably wont get the whole 70 mil but I hope he gets something. He deserves more than being tossed to the wolves after so many years of faithful work.

Answer 5

Iit was the perjury of one woman who maintained that GSA had not supplied the champaign squadron with IBM Selectric typewriters that cause Mr, Rather to be "fired". Records show that she had been issued an IBM Selectric II.
The supposed "proof" that the documents were forged hinged on one character which was on the machine she used.

Mr. Rather may very well win, and should.

Answer 6

None of the above, he is an American, all Americans sue each other. Sometimes they sue foreigners too, remember George Harrison? He was sued because he wrote a song and they claimed he plagerized it!!! For crying out loud a man of that talent doesn't need to be stealing another song. But he did write a song about sue me sue you.

Answer 7

I'm sure he brought his case to some slimey lawyer who convinced him he had a case.
I don't think it is wise to f' k w/CBS or any huge news/newtork conglomerate.
I think it will be thrown out.
He certainly is making an arss out of himself.

Answer 8

He is a washed up has been in my opinion.
