Today’s link addresses a quote by Dan Rather where he is attempting to share one of his so-called ‘home spun anecdotes’ he is so ‘famous’ for when trying to reveal how he thinks the Republicans are going to take back the house and senate in November.  Pay close attention to how Chris (thrill up my leg / I forgot he was black for an hour) Matthews tries to ‘voice over’ what Rather is saying before he can get the whole thing out:

In the article, it compares another alledged racist comment that resulted in the mayor of Los Alamitos in California appologizing and resigning.  Could this be the same for Mr. Rather?  I doubt it; he isn’t conservative or Republican enough.

By the way: here is the link to the email photo:
