Ratherisms

It will apparently be a cold day in Texas before CBS forgives Dan Rather. Katie Couric will be turning to Bob Schieffer for expert advice, while Rather has been confined to basic cable–Comedy Central of all places. While Dan is known for his unique phraseology, his sense of humor will certainly be put to the test.

In thanks for his years at the anchor desk and to make up for CBS’s shabby treatment, I think we should all pitch in to think up punch lines for Rather to use with Jon Stewart. Please post your jokes in the comment boards below. Suggested topics: “Punching Foley for Joe,” Crazy Katherine Harris, and George Allen’s confessional, Conrad Burns’ foot-in-mouth disease, and the Voter Strangler.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
