That thud you just heard was Warren Buffett throwing Obama under the bus

Warren Buffet has hopped off the Hope’n’change Express and thrown its driver under the wheels.

The tycoon, who lent Obama his economic credibility, told CNBC that he’s having second thoughts about his choice for president. Maybe even third ones.

A sizeable portion of Buffet’s wealth has evaporated since Election Day. So the world’s second-richest man had a few choice words about Obama’s handling of the economy and the administration’s cynical new mantra about a crisis being a terrible thing to waste. Naturally, the CNBC interview was promptly ignored by the rest of the dinosaur media.

Before launching into his criticism, Buffet made sure to offer a qualifying disclaimer. “I strongly support him,” Buffet said, “and I think he’s the right guy.” For some reason, Buffet couldn’t explain exactly why he still supports Obama. But never mind.

Then came Warren’s big BUT:

“…Job one is to win the war, the economic war. Job two is to win the economic war. And job three. And you can’t expect people to unite behind you if you’re trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throat. So I would, I would absolutely say for the, for the interim, till we get this one solved, I would not be pushing a lot of things that are, you know, are contentious. And I also, I also would do no finger-pointing whatsoever.”

Note: the above quote begins at minute 15:45 in video.

We think he said “finger pointing” but it might have been “finger painting.” Because we’d all be a lot better off if Obama did more of the latter and less of the former.

Deepak Chopra calls Limbaugh “an icon of anti-morality”

deepak chopra spaceThe bad news is that newspapers are dying and comic strips are fading into history. The good news is that the Huffington Post is guaranteed to make you laugh every day.

For example, here’s how New Age guru Deepak Chopra opened his article about Rush Limbaugh yesterday.

“When Michael Steele, the hapless chairman of the Republican Party, lost his bearings and called Rush Limbaugh’s style ugly and incendiary, everyone knew it was the truth,” the subcontinental sahib said. “But it was a perfect example of an inconvenient truth. The right wing has long used ugly, incendiary speech the way baseball players use steroids: to artificially pump themselves up. Limbaugh has taken to saying that he wants Obama’s policies to fail because they spell the end of an America based on personal freedom. This isn’t just a grotesque exaggeration; it disguises the very thing the right wing has been doing when it curtailed civil liberties in the name of national security.”

Calm down. Take a deep breath. The left wing loonies always say things like this. Problem is, they can’t come up with a single example of “curtailed civil liberties” that supposedly occurred during the Bush years.

Now, let’s move on to Chopra. As your grandmother always used to say, just consider the source. This guy’s made a fortune by writing fifty books about New Age nonsense.

Hey, maybe that could be the name of his next book.

“New Age Nonsense from best-selling author Deepak Chopra. Coming soon to a Barnes & Noble near you. Don’t miss this insightful exploration of mind, body, and how to pick a reader’s pocket for $21.95.”

Hey, Deepak! Don’t forget to mention us in the forward.

They’re homeless, but not phoneless

It would appear that homeless people in the nation’s capitol have come a long way thanks to the largesse of the Pelosi-Obama “stimulus” package.

First Lady Michelle Obama recently took time out from her magazine photo shoots for the covers of “O” and Vogue to pose as a food server at a homeless shelter not far from the White House. She even posed for one of homeless poseurs.

Obama said she hoped her selfless public service would inspire other Americans to volunteer in their own communities.

Hell, we just want to know where we can sign up for Obama’s \Free Government Cell Phone With Every Meal Program.

LA Times blogger Andrew Malcolm has the temerity to wonder how an alleged homeless man can afford a cellphone. Not to mention asking where the bills get sent.

Charlie Rangel would tell Andrew Malcom to mind his g*dd*mn business.

Update: We asked where to get a free cell phone. Found it: Free government cell phones for the poor from Safelink Wireless.

Al-Jazeera’s coverage of dictators is more honest than AP’s

This story provides a perfect demonstration of the corruption of the American media.

What else can it be called when Al-Jazeera’s coverage of tinhorn dictators is more honest than the coverage provided by Associated Press.

Just look at the difference in how the two services each covered the recent…uh…election in North Korea:

The AlJazeera.net story:
Kim ‘re-elected’ in N Korea vote

Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader, has been re-elected to the country’s parliament in elections that have been closely watched for hints as to his possible successor.

In an unsurprising result Kim was re-elected by voters in Constituency 333 with 100 per cent support, the official KCNA news agency said on Monday.

The report said voters renewed their “unshakable determination to devotedly safeguard” the North Korean leader.

The Associated Press story:
North Korean leader Kim re-elected to parliament

Kim Jong Il was unanimously re-elected to North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament, state media said Monday, in elections closely watched for signs of a political shift or hints the autocratic leader is grooming a successor.

All eligible voters in Constituency No. 333 cast ballots for Kim, renewing their “unshakable determination to devotedly safeguard” the leader, the official Korean Central News Agency said in first results from Sunday’s poll.

Contrast the two headlines: Al-Jazeera put quotation marks around the word “re-elected” in recognition of the fraudulent nature of the “election.” AP, on the other hand, may as well have been reporting that the British Prime minister had been re-elected.

Contrast the second paragraphs: Al-Jazeera refers to Kim’s unanimous election as “unsurprising” (in parens), another acknowledgement of the fraudulent nature of the “election.” AP simply reports that all eligible voters cast ballots for Kim as if that’s a common occurrence in elections.

Shame on Associated Press. They are so consumed by political correctness that they seem incapable of simply saying, “Kim Jong Il is a petty dictator and this election was a fraud.”

The only thing missing from their story was this line:

“Former President Jimmy Carter traveled to Pyongyang to observe the election and certified that it met the highest international standards for honesty and transparency.”

Swedish scientists prove Obama should not be compared to a chimp

"I knew Santino the chimp. Santino the chimp was a friend of mine. Mr. President, you're no Santino the chimp."
"I knew Santino the chimp. Santino the chimp was a friend of mine. Mr. President, you're no Santino the chimp."

Last month, the New York Post and one of its cartoonists caught holy hell. All because Al Sharpton and his racemongering posse decided the paper’s infamous “chimpanzee” cartoon intentionally compared Obama to a chimp.

Now Swedish animal behaviorists have conducted a study that proves our President is absolutely nothing like a chimpanzee.

According to a report in Current Biology, Santino, a 31-year-old alpha male chimpanzee in a Swedish zoo starts each day by collecting rocks inside his enclosure. Around midday he begins hurling those rocks from his weapons cache at human visitors who have gathered outside his enclosure.

We have analyzed this study in great depth and determined that Al Sharpton is correct. It is offensive to compare the President to a chimp for the following reasons:

Unlike President Obama, the chimp developed a clear plan and followed it.

Unlike President Obama, the chimp knows he must save his assets and not throw them away all at once.

Unlike President Obama, the chimp believes in stockpiling weapons to use against his enemies.

Unlike President Obama, the chimp is dedicated to defending his homeland.

Unlike President Obama, the chimp didn’t announce that he wanted to negotiate with any of the “moderate” humans who hold him captive.

Unlike President Obama, the chimp hasn’t announced that he will stop throwing rocks in 19 months.

And finally, unlike President Obama, the chimp didn’t demand that the rich gorillas in the next cage share their rocks with him.

We don’t like to brag on ourselves at IHateTheMedia.com, but it’s rare to find one website that is able to analyze science and political science in such a deep, meaningful way and explain it so clearly to the masses.

Big Sky Democrat says Obama’s statistics are blue sky

max baucusBuried deep in the Associated Press’ excellent analysis of the president’s economic “stimulus” program was this little gem that most of the media has chosen to ignore.

Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, challenged Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner last week.

“You created a situation where you cannot be wrong,” the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee said.

“If the economy loses 2 million jobs over the next few years, you can say yes, but it would’ve lost 5.5 million jobs,” Baucus contined. “If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would have lost 2.5 million jobs. You’ve given yourself complete leverage where you cannot be wrong, because you can take any scenario and make yourself look correct.”

The natives are restless. The Indians are jumping the reservation. There’s trouble in River City. And AP analyzed it correctly for once.

Hey, Charlie Rangel, pay your g*d d*mn*d taxes?

The party that brought you Reverend G*d d*mn America is back with another installment of righteously profane indignation. This time it’s in the service of the most ethical and transparent congress in history.

This is a story we’d like to see on the TV news, but we’re not holding our breath. In the meantime, we’re thankful for HotAir.

Tax cheat Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has been comfortably ensconced in the House since 1971 and currently chairs the Ways and Means Committee that writes our convoluted tax laws. He was asked by HotAir TV about his taxpayer-sponsored Cadillac and a few other ethical and financial lapses.

Thinking he was dealing with a friendly tourist, Rangel turns on the charm with a big, toothy smile and a warm “Welcome to the nation’s capitol!”

Watch how his excrement-masticating grin freezes after he’s confronted about his shady rental property deals, publicly-subsidized Cadillac, and unpaid taxes. Then he says:

“Why don’t you mind your G*d d*mn*d business?”

It’s official. Government of the people is now government vs. the people.

Obama may reach out to “moderate” Taliban

talibanHere’s the formula: Conservative gives an interview and the media picks every answer to pieces. Liberal gives an interview and even the most ludicrous statement goes unquestioned.

Take, for example, last weekend’s interview with President Obama in the New York Times. Here’s how Reuter’s adoringly reported it:

“U.S. President Barack Obama is open to the idea of reaching out to moderate elements of the Taliban.”

“Obama said that some of the U.S. success in Iraq involved reaching out to Islamic fundamentalists who had been alienated by the tactics of al Qaeda in Iraq.”

We’re still trying to figure out what a moderate Taliban is and wonder why neither the Times nor Reuters asked the question.

Are the moderates the ones in the General Department for the Preservation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Amr-bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkar) who search houses and destroy television sets, radios, cassettes, and photographs?

Or the ones who roam the streets beating those they deem to be violators of Sharia law? The ones behind gender apartheid who force women to wear burqas and ban girls from attending school? The ones who control the opium trade? The ones who perform mass executions in Kabul’s soccer stadium? The ones who destroyed ancient Buddhist statues because they were “blasphemous?”

Moderate Taliban. That’s what’s known as an oxymoron. Like “jumbo shrimp” and “Senate Intelligence Committee.”

UPDATE: Joe Biden explains moderate Taliban (video)

AP dispenses healthy, but unexpected dose of reality: Obama plan faltering

associated press logoA just-released Associated Press analysis is a dramatic departure from the liberal claptrap we’ve come to expect from the wire service.

“President Barack Obama offered his domestic-policy proposals as a ‘break from a troubled past.’ But the economic outlook now is more troubled than it was even in January, despite Obama’s bold rhetoric and commitment of more trillions of dollars.”

“And while his personal popularity remains high, some economists and lawmakers are beginning to question whether Obama’s agenda of increased government activism is helping, or hurting, by sowing uncertainty among businesses, investors and consumers that could prolong the recession.”

“Although the administration likes to say it “inherited” the recession and trillion-dollar deficits, the economic wreckage has worsened on Obama’s still-young watch.”

“Every day, the economy is becoming more and more an Obama economy.”

Read the entire analysis. It’s actually honest enough to quote doubting Democrats who are buying neither Obama’s line of reasoning nor line of bull.

“Impartial” PBS journalist wants Democrats to politicize the census

census 2010Taxpayer-funded PBS journalist Bonnie Erbe has some advice for Democrats: politicize the 2010 Census, then use the biased numbers to jam pack Congress full of left wing wackos.

“Depoliticize the Census?” PSB “journalist” she wrote in her blog at US News & World Report. “Surely they jest!”

“The Census is part of the spoils of victory for whichever party controls the White House at the turn of each decade,” she added. “Gerrymandering—using Census data to create voting districts that artificially lean toward one end of the political spectrum or the other—is as uniquely an American tradition as Thanksgiving. The thought of trying to depoliticize the census is, well, decidedly un-American.”

Let us now translate Erbe’s concluding sentence.

What she said was, “So gerrymander away with the 2010 Census and spare us the theatrics of trying to look nonpartisan.”

What she meant was, “This could guarantee another generation of funding for the partisan hacks at PBS.”

Chris Brown must think Nickelodeon is tough to beat

It's tough to beat a network that doesn't care if you beat your girlfriend.

A couple months ago, singer Chris Brown was nominated for two Kids’ Choice Awards. A couple weeks ago, he was accused of beating the putty out of girlfriend Rihanna.

If you think Nickelodeon might withdraw the nominations to protest Brown’s behavior, think again. No way.

It’s translation time again here at IHateTheMedia.com.

What Nickelodeon said was, Brown “was nominated by kids several months ago, and the kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category.”

What Nickelodeon meant was “This damn award show generates big ad bucks and if you think we’ll do anything to risk that, you’re crazy.”

Second PR agent quits octomon, calls her “nuts”

Nadya Suleman is nuts? In the words of Gomer Pyle, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!"

Another publicist has walked out on Nadya Suleman, the infamous octomom. In the words of Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, surprise, surprise.”

According to Us Weekly, PR maven Victor Munoz is the latest one to take a hike. “It just got to be too much,” Munoz said. “It’s pretty much a free for all over there right now. They are freaking out right now.

“Nadya got real greedy,” Munoz added. “This woman is nuts.”

Far be it from us to question Munoz’ judgment, but we’re wondering what ever made him think Suleman wasn’t nuts.

Was it the octuplets? Or her first six kids? Or the whole kit and kaboodle of fourteen kids with no father? Or the initial story that the father was in Iraq? Or the hundreds of threatening emails sent to the first PR agent?

There’s a giant red neon sign figuratively flashing over this woman’s head:

“Nuts…nuts…nuts…”

President’s “Middle Class Task Force” packed with highly-paid elitists, no middle class

<b>Typical transportation for members of President Obama's Middle Class Task Force</b>
Typical transportation for members of President Obama's Middle Class Task Force

The press trumpets President Obama’s Middle Class Task Force. But they never mention that it’s made up of highly-paid Veep Joe Biden and seven other White House elitists.

Maybe it should be renamed “President Obama’s Vision of What the Middle Class Looks Like Task Force.” Because no one who’s actually a member of the middle class is a member of the Middle Class Task Force.

Middle class is generally defined as anyone earning between $30,000 and $100,000 a year. Yet every member of the Task Force makes at least $150,000, putting them in the top 5% of American wage earners.

For example, Vice President Biden makes $227,000 per year. Council of Economic Advisors chair Christina Romer pulls down $172,000. And Energy Secretary Steven Chu takes home $191,000. And that’s just from their government gigs. Who knows how much they make from other sources.

In order to research the problems of the middle class, perhaps Task Force members can roll down the privacy windows in their limos and speak to their drivers. That’s about as close to middle class as these guys are likely to get.

15,000 attend Southern California tax revolt rally, national media silent

tax revolt poster

We hate the media in general, but we love afternoon talk show hosts John & Ken of KFI radio in L.A. And if the media ignores their popular tax revolt, we’ll give them a hand.

The talk team drew 15,000 people last week to their “Revolt, Recall, Repeal Rally” to protest California’s $50 billion tax increase and to begin recall efforts aimed at the governor and several state legislators. it was covered locally, but did you see any national coverage? Ten NOW protestors on the on the White House steps makes news, but not 15,000 in a tax revolt? Of course, we’re not surprised.

During the rally, DVDs and VHS tapes of Schwarzenegger’s movies were enthusiastically trashed by the crowd. John & Ken provided “The Shredinator” to shred other Schwarzenegger memorabilia.

The KFI hosts also played recordings of Schwartzenegger promising he would never raise taxes, which elicited a loud, angry response from the crowd.

“This has been a complete disaster and it’s time to do something about it,” they said. “He should be apologizing to you and he should be resigning!”

John & Ken are the best talk show hosts in America. If you’ve never heard them rant and rave, check them out at KFI640.com.

American media ignores bungling Obama, British media irate

President Obama bungled meetings this week with America’s most important ally. The British are irate about it.

First, Obama unceremoniously returned a bust of Winston Chuchill the Brits had given to President Bush right after 9-11. Then, he snubbed Prime Minister Gordon Brown by deciding he wasn’t important enough to merit a joint press conference. Finally, after Brown was thoughtful enough to present Obama with a beautiful pen holder hand-carved from a plank from a former anti-slavery ship, Obama reciprocated by giving Brown a collection of DVDs.

The Brits are up in arms. Editorial after editorial and article after article has ripped Obama’s trashing of the “special relationship” the two countries share. But the story has been ignored by the adoring American media. For example, a Google News search for “Obama, “British,” and “25 DVDs” turns up a mere 21 stories, including reprints in various publications.

We can’t even say it’s a case of conservative-liberal bias, because a search for “Hillary,” “Europe,” and “reset” turns up 249,000 stories and her gaffe only happened on Friday. No, this is strictly a case of the media protecting its investment in Barack Obama.

But perhaps we shouldn’t really blame the American media. They had plenty of other important stories that needed covering this week. Like Octomom. Has she had anymore kids yet? And Michelle. Is she wearing sleeves today?

Gordon Brown may be rethinking his earlier comments in this video.

Cramer calls Obama administration “amateur hour at our darkest moment”

Don’t get on the wrong side of CNBC’s Jim Cramer. (Although to be quite honest, we’re not sure there is a “right side” of the volatile “Mad Money” host.)

Cramer, who admits to being a lifelong Democrat and contributing “six figures” to Democrat politicians and causes, has jumped ship on Obama’s economic program.

“Until the Obama administration starts listening,” Cramer said, “until they start paying attention to what you’re watching – to the stock market – until they realize that their agenda is destroying the life savings of millions of Americans, then all I can give you is caution.”

“It’s amateur hour at our darkest moment. It’s the feeling of capitalism vanishing, businesses capsizing under their own weight thanks to an administration that doesn’t seem to know or maybe doesn’t care.”

What’s the difference between Cramer and Obama? Simple.

When we watch Cramer, we always get the feeling he could burst a blood vessel at any moment and keel over dead.

When we watch Obama, we always get the feeling that we could burst a blood vessel at any moment and keel over dead.

So overall, we prefer watching Cramer.

Wikipedia censors Obama entry, removes scandals and controversies

wikipedia logoSo much for Wikipedia’s credibility. According to WorldNetDaily, the online entry for Barack Obama is quickly and continuously censored to make sure the president appears to be scandal-free.

Obama’s current Wikipedia entry paints a remarkably positive picture of the president. The most controversial parts of his life, including Rev. Jeremiah Wright and terrorist pal Bill Ayers aren’t even mentioned. The controversy regarding Obama’s eligibility to serve as president is also ignored.

To make matters even worse, Wikipedia administrators have quickly deleted any negative comments and suspended those who had the temerity to write them.

How ’bout they just quit beating around the bush and put the fully-censored Obama listing under “F” for “Fearless Leader.”

Trump’s unsuccessful TV show more successful than his real estate empire

donald_trump_hairDonald Trump’s ratings-challenged Apprentice TV show has already been cancelled and brought back from the dead once. His real estate empire may not be so lucky.

The partnership behind the Trump Ocean Resort Baja, a luxury hotel-condo project in Mexico, has gone belly up, costing scores of small investors more than $32 million. Investors have been told they won’t get a penny back.

The Mexican problems couldn’t come at a worse time for Trump. His casino company filed for bankruptcy protection last month. He also having trouble making payments on his Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago.

“I can’t even stand to see Trump’s face on TV,” said Linda Drake, one of his Mexican investors.

Who cares about the collapse of his real estate empire? We’re waiting for the collapse of his hair. That’ll be worthy of an hour long special. They’ll replay it over and over in slowmo like one of those imploding buildings.

Two Three more people bail out of the bail-out team

Team Obama just can’t seem to set its starting line-up. Nominees, potential nominees, and rumored nominees continue to drop like flies.

Annette Nazareth, a former commissioner with the SEC, made “a personal decision” and pulled her name from consideration to be Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s top aide.

Then, in a huge blow to TV viewers around the world, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, said he no longer wanted to be considered for the Surgeon General job because of “personal reasons.”

Seems to us that “personal reasons” has now become Liberalese for “I haven’t paid my taxes for the last seven years?”

UPDATE: Now a third potential member of Obama’s team has bailed. Caroline Atkinson, nominee for undersecretary of international affairs, has also withdrawn from consideration.

Showbiz bible distorts ratings to promote MSNBC’s Maddow

Nothing better than quoting the bible on a Sunday morning.

“Maddow’s unique style spikes ratings. Smarts, smile fuel MSNBC host’s rapid rise.” That’s how Variety, long known as the show business bible, headlines its story on MSNBC’s leftwing loon Rachel Maddow.

“After struggling for years to fill the prime 9 p.m. slot — with personalities as disparate as Rita Cosby to Dan Abrams — the network has landed a solid performer in Maddow,” the story says. “Her ratings are a vast improvement over what has been there recently, and she has helped erase doubts the network could carry over sizable audiences from the record heights of the campaign season.”

Maddow premiered with ratings that topped even those of MSNBC “star” Keith Olbermann. And the Variety piece leaves the impression they’ve stayed at that lofty level. In reality, her ratings trajectory looks more like Greg Louganis jackknifing off the high board. There’s been a steady decline and Maddow’s show has now dropped out of the nightly top ten.

As you can see in this chart, Maddow’s audience has dropped significantly this year, while the numbers for direct competitor Sean Hannity have increased significantly.
rachel_maddow_vs_sean_hannity

NOTE: Numbers are in hundred thousands and measure the highly coveted 25-54 demographic. In total audience, the disparity between Hannity and Maddow is even more dramatic.

Let’s compare this to a horserace. Maddow broke fast out of the gate. She led for the first three quarters of the race, but faded at the end and lost the race by 20 lengths.

Not that we would compare Rachel Maddow to a broken down old nag. Never. That would be tacky and tasteless and totally unlike us.

Newspaper turns Paul Harvey’s death into criticism of Limbaugh

paul harveyAn editorial in Rochester, New York’s largest newspaper started out as a warm tribute to Paul Harvey ended up as a cold attack on Rush Limbaugh.

The editorial, headlined “Talk radio needs a little more Harvey,” went down hill quickly and contained these gems:

“A lot of word pictures are drawn every day purporting to describe how inflexibly partisan and flat-out angry the world of popular communication has become. But few things tell the tale better than two names.”

“In short, Harvey was the velvet glove. And Limbaugh is the iron fist. Take your pick.”

“Limbaugh is really a politician who campaigns constantly without actually running for office. Harvey was pure radio — a great voice, stories to tell and information to impart. Without the clenched fist.”

Guess we shouldn’t be surprised, because the name of the Gannett newspaper is the Rochester Democrat.

UN’s Anti-Blasphemy Resolution restricts free speech, promotes Islam

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji-qdC5zYd4If an U.N. Anti-Blasphemy Resolution is passed, it will outlaw criticism of Islam in any form. Even talking about the religion’s influence on terrorism could be a crime.

“A group of 57 Organization of Islamic Countries,” a February 25 Lou Dobbs report says, “the largest block at the United Nations, has been pushing it, out of concern, it says, for anti-Islamic behavior, saying, “This resolution is a major step towards sensitizing the international community on the serious impact of defamation of religions….”

“While appearing in name to promote tolerance, the implementation of this concept actually fosters intolerance and has served to justify restrictions on human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

Backers of the Anti-Blasphemy Resolution say their goal is simply to curtail speech that offends religion, specifically Islam. Religious groups and free speech advocates say the true goal is to extend the influence of Sharia law in the West.

The attached video is shocking. So shocking that you’ll immediately wonder why every major news organization hasn’t carried it. This measure is obviously in direct conflict with the U.S. Constitution and a clear violation of free speech.

Obama can’t adlib, takes teleprompter everywhere

Say what? Turns out President Obama, a man whose soaring oratory won him an election, is hapless and helpless without his Teleprompter. He refuses to give a speech without one (see accompanying video to see why).

The ol’ teleprompter broke down a few times on the campaign trail last summer and Obama responded by delivering some “less than ordinary” speeches.

Presidential historians admit no other president has ever been so dependent on the device. “It’s just something presidents haven’t done,” Martha Joynt Kumar said. “It’s jarring to the eye. In a way, it stands in the middle between the audience and the president because his eye is on the teleprompter.”

Fine. Let Obama have his Teleprompter. But please don’t buy one for Joe Biden.

IHateTheMedia.com depends on the vice president’s ad libs as much as Obama depends on his Teleprompter.

Liar to hire. Rather is looking for help.

dan_rather_reportsDan Rather says he’s hiring. Can we believe him this time?

HDNet’s “Dan Rather Reports,” a show no one watches, is supposedly looking for more correspondents. We use the word “supposedly” because we’ve learned to be careful when judging the veracity of anything reported by Rather.

“We’re doing an enormous amount of shows—42 a year,” said Wayne Nelson, Rather’s executive producer. “Which is hard for anybody. Dan’s been all over the place, and he’s not stopping.”

Nelson added that bringing in additional correspondents would reduce Rather’s workload and give him time to visit more international hotspots.

What is “Dan Rather Reports” looking for in a new hire? “Give me another Dan Rather,” Nelson said. “I’ll take one of those.

So if there are any 78-year old confirmed liars out there looking for work, call Dan Rather.

He has a job for you.
