I'd Rather Not Sit

"In 1981, Rather decided that he couldn't occupy Walter Cronkite's chair, so for his first Evening News broadcast he read the headlines while crouching behind the desk. "

Bryan Curtis wrote this on Slate today: Dan Rather - The anchor as madman, arguing that Rather is "bonkers."

I'm loving this line: "It's as if Rather attracts half the madness in the universe, and the other half comes out of his mouth."

A kind of cosmic spew that the media loves to both broadcast and employ, but is probably equally scared of.
