Dan Rather is upset that Israeli security forces treated his TV crew like Bill Clinton treats interns. The disgraced newsman’s production team was strip searched by security before being allowed to film an interview with an Israeli cabinet minister.
The Associated Press reports the naked truth:
Andrew Glazer, an Emmy-award winning producer at Dan Rather Reports, wrote that the legendary anchorman came to do a story about improving Israeli-Palestinian relations pitched by Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
Glazer said problems mounted after they arrived. He said they were held up for hours at security checks. Israeli soldiers barred the crew’s veteran Palestinian cameramen — a Jerusalem resident — from accompanying Rather to a West Bank neighborhood.
And then came the a strip search before an interview with Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor.
“Mr. Rather said that in his career, he had never seen a crew forced to strip prior to an interview — including the one he conducted with Saddam Hussein,” Glazer wrote.
This word just in: Barney Frank has announced that he is resigning his position in Congress and applying for a job with Israeli security.
