| Dan Rather: Fairly Unbalanced by Ann Coulter |
| 2004-09-24 |
I believe we now have conclusive proof that: (1) Dan Rather is not an honest newsman who was simply duped by extremely clever forgeries; andA basic canon of journalism is not to place all your faith in a lunatic stuck on something that happened years ago who hates the target of your story and has been babbling nonsense about him for years. And that's true even if you yourself are a lunatic stuck on something that happened years ago (an on-air paddling from Bush 41) who hates the target of your own story and has been babbling nonsense about him for years, Dan. |

| #14 I don't think so. Coulter at her best is thigh-slapping, pee-your-pants funny, but she's erratic. Sometimes, she's just unfunnily vicious, personal insults, ad-hominen attacks, twisting truth to make a point. Now, these are all tolerated in a liberal (heck, they're SOP), but conservatives are not allowed this. |

| #13 In all seriousness, why can't Rantburg get some streaming video technology and create its own Ann C Daily Rebuttal? Cheeze. I'm still working on the editorial page! |

| #12 Sarge - That would be a good idea to get back public confidence, but they'd never do it. |

| #11 SCREW THAT! CBS should make Ann the Anchor! Can you imagine how their rating would soar? Hell I would be a loyal watcher. Also ditto to what Jarhead said! Also why is she not a host of some show (radio or TV)? |

| #10 Annie Longknife doing a delectable fricassee on Delerious Dan and his mentor Walter the Walrus... Did Ann have a job during student days at Beni-Hana?... Cronkite and Rather treated like the "Surf and Turf" combo on the menu... Also, Seperated at birth - a stutterer'snightmare K-Katie C-Couric and K-Kitty K-Kelly... No wonder Burkett is having seizures... |

| #9 (It’s now Day Seven of Kelley’s refusal to produce records concerning charges that she is in the final stages of syphilitic dementia.) Ouch... |

| #8 I've always found Ann's dry humor and razor sharp wit damn appealing. Nice legs and blonde hair doesn't hurt either. |

| #5 Ann Coulter: Why does she hate mealtime? |

| #4 In all seriousness, why can't Rantburg get some streaming video technology and create its own Ann C Daily Rebuttal? Somehow I doubt CBS News gets a higher share of the under-65 national audience than the blogosphere does. Smash the MSM. Let a thousand blogs contend. |

| #3 Tom - make it 3 minutes, at the end of the show, and I'm with you. |

| #2 I'd be fine with keeping Rather on CBS News on condition that Ann Coulter gets one minute each night for rebuttal. |

| #1 an interview with Burkett ended when he "suffered a violent seizure and collapsed in his chair" – an exit strategy Dan Rather has been eyeing hungrily all week, CBS's own Howard Beale |
