He actually said something that was unwittingly correct in a sound bite I saw of an interview on it, to the effect that big government had so heavily co-opted big media that it had rendered the media a useless whore (My phrase, his meaning). Of course it did not appear that he realized the party technically out of power when he committed his ridiculous blunder was as much a part of big government as the one in power, and he was being played by them, nor that big media pretty much hated the Bush administration and had no such problem with respect to them.
I lost all respect for Rather during the Lewinsky scandal, when he had a one-on-one interview with Clinton and acted like a she-cat in heat stropping against a sweaty boot the entire time. He acted the total simpering twit and turned in an apologia for Clinton, not an interview. He stopped being a journalist that day, for me.
