Obviously delusion

This old coot is so blinded by his own ego that if it were helium he'd be in the stratosphere ere this.

p.s. Who is Kenneth?  (I feel out of the loop like I should know this but none of my memory banks is providing the answer.)

whoops...still getting the hang of the place...posted my comment to this below: "What's the Frequency Kenneth"

Roentgen Equivalent in Man

The band R.E.M. had a song that cam out around 1994 or so called "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" which one only presumes was inspired by that incident.  (I can't say for sure, as I am NO fan of R.E.M.)

It was a tossup between

It was a tossup between hatred and delusion and they may be one in the same.  He may be delusional that Bush and the bloggers are out to get him.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

he hasn't had a firm grasp on reality in decades....well, ever

someone probably told him that it was gws plan to have him booted(you know just like the whole vast right wing conspiracy bit) and it was written down somewhere in the artifical records he had fabricated. god knows what the old loony thinks. have to admire his cancer patient hairstyle though, isn't he just styling.

Age and Anger - often follow one another

Dan Rather is simply old and angry - it happens all too often with people who have low self esteem. Age and anger all too often cause and effect.

Second vote for money.

Second vote for money.

Bernie Goldberg was on

Bernie Goldberg was on O'Reilly last night, and he was talking about how Rather had always been paranoid about politicians being out to get him, especially Bush I. After the famous "how would you like it if people judged your career based on the time you walked off the set" episode, that embarassed Rather and elevated Bush, Rather's been sure that Bush and his cronies were out to get him. And when CBS picked Dick Thornburgh, Bush's attorney general, to investigate memogate it was like showing flashing lights over Area 51... Rather headed for the first train to Conspiracyville.

When will this come to

When will this come to trial? I question the timing and expect this to get more coverage with more fingers pointing at the "scary conservative blogs" than the scandals that are bubbling to the surface with Hillary.

Dan is being used. I await to see his Lawyers name and his connection with the Clinton camp.

Delusion + EGO are the only

Delusion + EGO are the only rational reasons because he doesn't need the money and if he was not delusional even his hatred of all things to the right wouldn't allow him to make such a fool of himself. I think he truly BELIVES those documents were the real thing

“I would remind you
that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind
you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”

Mr Paul truly deserves to be mentioned in the same company as Mr Rather

In the interest of fair play

And striving to be non-partisan, could the 1% who voted that this jackass's motives were to get to the truth declare themselves and try to 'splain how on earth they arrived at that conclusion...?

Thanks.

ONLY Kenneth knows

Well, you CANNOT blame me. I voted "only Kenneth knows". 

:-)

Rather tread lightly as the Kenneth knows

Kenneth does indeed know as Rather has been a party to manipulation and intel operations he was used in since his 60's Kennedy assassination false reporting.

This is what Rather probably has in his safe banking he can bluff the Rockefellers by hauling CBS into court and exposing them to humiliation "in order to get invited back into the CFR league of insiders".
Rather doesn't want money. He wants back in to manipulate people as he is shocked to have learned that he was a patsy and not a player all these years.

One can note that J. Edgar Hoover and even William Colby bluffed these people for only so long before they had "accidents" like Vince Foster. Rather can only push this so far as when the real powers start pushing back he is going to find out how alone he is.

As stated in another blog, smart people just shut up and go home when they are culled from the CFR herd. Rather is not that intelligent.

Dan Rather has flipped his lid.

After reading his comments from yesterday, I believe Dan is a candidate for the rubber room.
