Rather is the same "journalist" who went on the air breathless and delirious when the Florida Supreme Court overturned Judge Sauls and virtually ordered the election of Al Gore. But after showing his happiness at what the Florida Supreme Court had done, Rather asked rhetorically: "What will the Republican US Supreme Court do?". Rather was sliming the members of the US Supreme Court who were nominated by Republican presidents. In the Rather gospel, no judge appointed by a Republican president is anything other than a hack who will do the bidding of Republican presidential candidates. Of course, Rather never used the expression "The Democrat Florida Supreme Court" although all of the members of that court were Democrat appointees (Jeb Bush even allowed a Chiles nominee to sale through on Jeb's watch) and Rather did not mention that many of the Florida Supreme Court justices had been active in Florida Democratic Party politics. I am always one step ahead of Rather. He thinks his past is forgotten but it is not. Dan Rather is the same “journalist” who attended a Democratic Party fundraiser in Texas while he was CBS anchor.

Dan Rather endorses the NYTimes–because he knows “responsible,” “outstanding” journalists when he seems ‘em. Trust him.
