The Other Side of Rather

Bullshit.

If Rather hadn't of done it, somebody else would have. He wasn't anything special. Period.

Say for instance, Dan and his Mujahdeen got ambushed in Afghanistan in 1980. I'm willing to bet we wouldn't remember his name now, the same way we don't remember the name of that NBC cameraman or reporter who was killed by Somoza's troops in 1978.

Or even better, say he copped a round in Vietnam. A few people remember Sean Flynn, because his dad was Erroll Flynn. Anyone remember anybody who was with him?

And the City Paper should stop running all the prostitution ads. But it won't because then it wouldn't have any money to publish with.
