#2 This portion of the ambush came up on a radio show today:

"BUSH: This is not a great night, because I want to talk about why I want to be president, why those 41 percent of the people are supporting me. And I don't think it's fair...

RATHER: And Mr. Vice President, if these questions are --

BUSH: ...to judge my whole career by a rehash on Iran. How would you like it if I judged your career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York? [Note: Rather actually was in Miami and he was off the set for six minutes. See Bizarre.]

RATHER: Well, Mister...

BUSH: ...Would you like that?

RATHER: Mr. Vice President...

BUSH: I have respect for you, but I don't have respect for what you're doing here tonight."

There is speculation that Rather has held a personal dislike for the Bush family due to the highlighted quote. From my standpoint, I can't see that Rather could have developed any more of an animus than he already had for Reagan's VP - probably the real root of hatred.
