2. His Das's favorite advice.
He signed off with that for awhile years ago but the network thought it was weird and canned it.

Appropriate today, though.

4. As far as journalists go, on a scale of 1 to 10
Dan Rather was about a 3, but almost everyone else in the TV MSM would have to be rated a zero. They are all a bunch of spineless spokespeople including the "great" Walter Cronkite. This means that Dan Rather was more of a journalist than almost everyone else in the TV MSM combined.
Dan Rather had the balls to go after Shrub's National Guard "service" when no one else did. I wish he would have investigated Abu Ghraib, 9/11, election fraud, and a lot of other matters that need to be investigated by the free press. OK, Dan Rather wasn't a great journalist, but he was far better than the spineless bozos who've been criticizing him.

5. Thanks for the link
I wasn't able to see the old coot sign off for good. Of course, I don't watch corporate news anymore, but this was a nice piece of nostalgia.
