    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.

    The guy is 73 and about 10 years past due to retire. CBS should have moved on long ago.

    The average intelligence of the supposedly unbiased mainstream news media just doubled.

    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.
