And his retirement will be greeted by the media with all the pomp and circumstance of Yassir Arafat.

yeah, he took the number 1 rated newscast and after 24 years of hard work he has made it a solid 3. That's the real disgrace!

RE:About Time - Dan Rather stepping down
I heard that the candidate pool for his replacement looks alot like the candidate pool to replace DNC chair Terry McCaullife.

Chris Matthews.
He'll never be a network anchor - but he and Rather were separated at birth.

Dalmations, did you mean-
"who will be the next liberal media elitist to committ career suicide?" OR "who will be the next washed up crackpot network news anchor?"

RE: About Time - Dan Rather stepping down
Rather finally gives a statement about his long overdue firing.
Dan Rather Scrambles to Confirm Story of His Resignation
(2004-11-23) -- Veteran CBS News anchor Dan Rather this afternoon said he was "scrambling like a gila monster on hot sand" to verify allegations that he will step down from his role on the CBS Evening News in March 2005.
"If this is true, I want to break this story," said Mr. Rather as he rushed from his office to track down a hot tip on the story. "I received a fax from a Kinko's in Texas indicating that I'm relinquishing the anchor desk, but we need to run this past several handwriting experts and get it fully vetted before we break into programming with the announcement."

"I wish it were not happening while this panel is looking into the '60 Minutes' weekday story," Mr. Rather said at his office at the CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street in Manhattan. "One reason I wanted to do this now was to make the truth clear - this is separated from that."

As always, a Rather-unique version of the truth.
Dan Rather is a 24-year stain on journalistic integrity. He has probably done as much as any other single person to make the general public cynical about the mainstream media. He should've been escorted from CBS's offices by security guards, with his personal effects in a cardboard box and left down on the sidewalk.

Genius.
I hope something happens like a pie in the face, or he trips or somesuch. No injuries...just embarassment. What a tool.
