Even the Ratherisms Sound Desperate [Tim Graham]
Time TV writer James Poniewozik tweeted that Dan Rather still has his collection of "wild-ass election similes," but I'd say this routine is just sad. Rather's perpetually upset that he's not breaking in on the CBS set as the news breaks out. Dissing all your colleagues means the cutesiness gets overpowered by the bitterness. Michael Calderone and Daniel Libit report:
"So much of what passed for political coverage last night was like watching a manure spreader in a windstorm,” Rather told POLITICO. “Much of it was just a constant stream of highly partisan political message points. Thoughtful analysis was as rare as a golden-fronted bowerbird."
