Lucianne's Quote of The Day

"I think he's an honest man....I think at core he's an honest person....I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."

— Dan Rather on Bill Clinton to Bill O'Reilly, The Bill O'Reilly Show

What's lower than "beneath contempt"?

Dan Rather?

I hope this will haunt Rather in the future (like Clinton's saying that it depends on what the definition of "is" is).

Nothing seems to haunt ole Dan, no matter what, over many, many years. He seems to be giving us all a glimpse of his own personal philosophy, namely that he considers a person can be basically honest and still lie about any number of things. That just shows you what can happen to your sense of reality when you spend your life in the media. A lie here, a lie there, what does it matter if you are really an honest person at heart? Sheeesh!!!

Yeah, like he didn't know that Texas speech he gave at his daughter's request was for a Democratic fundraising event that his daughter sponsored. I guess that's what he means.
