Not that I mind that particular sentiment :) but it's > definitely not a fair statement to make, in my opinion. It's funny. I'm reading Profiles In Courage by John F. Kennedy right now. The best part of it is all the quotes from the press and politicians of the various time periods he's writing about. "Piss up a rope" would be mild compared to the acerbic vitriol that the 1850's press used when deriding someone. It really does point out just how very tepid someone like Dan Rather is, and for people to be blowing a gasket about it is simply amazing when viewed through the lens of history. -Kevin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:150117 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
