Just saw it on Fox when I clicked on Sourdough's link, no story yet, just the headline. here's the link http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/23/entertainment/main657295.shtml
I just wish he'd take Mickey Rooney's daddy with him. Looks like they'll be hanging around 60 Minutes a little longer together.
Here is some funny stuff: http://www.ratherbiased.com/bizarre.htm Just one of many embarrassments for Rather, go to the site for the other bumbling moronic crap he's pulled. In 1980, Rather and CBS were hauled into court when a California doctor named Carl Galloway claimed that a Rather report on 60 Minutes wrongfully implicated him in an insurance fraud sceme. It got wide publicity while Rather was grilled on television, causing many a headache at CBS. After the trial, Rather kept refusing interview requests from a reporter. Exasperated that Rather kept ignoring him, the reporter tried to get a surprise interview (à la 60 Minutes) as Rather was entering CBS's studio building. Rather agreed with a smile, "Get the microphone right up, will you?" With the camera rolling, Rather looked him in the eye and said: "Fu$% you. You got it?" The clip was played over and over again on TV and Rather was forced to apologize: "I mistook who you were and what you were doing. That was inexcusable, rude and un-Christian behavior, for which I am remorseful," Rather's statement said.
