I'd Rather...But Not DAN Rather

Part XVIII


In my efforts to catch up with laughing at/criticizing Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, I found this story this morning about a Judge dismissing a chunk of his lawsuit against his old employer and some of it's executives:

A Manhattan judge has dismissed portions of a lawsuit Dan Rather has filed against CBS and Viacom. Judicial Hearing Officer Ira Gammerman on Thursday allowed the lawsuit to go forward, but struck down the parts of the suit that name Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone, CBS President Leslie Moonves and former CBS News President Andrew Heyward.

A lawyer for the defendants, lead outside counsel James Quinn, said the judge's ruling eliminated Rather's core complaints of fraud and breach of good faith and fair dealing. The lawyer said it was hard to see how the ex-anchor's assertion of a conspiracy between CBS and the Bush administration "will have any traction going forward."

Remember that things haven't been going so good for old Dan since his airing of the fake story about President Bush's Texas Air National Guard service?

Well, apparently things have continued down hill since then.

Now not only does poor old Dan have trouble discerning the difference between his own ass and a hole in the ground, but I've just found some evidence that he can also no longer find his nose when he needs a nice fat juicy Booger...

"Where's my nose...no wait...where's my middle finger...I can't even shoot a bird anymore..."
