What’s the Frequency Award (for Ratherisms)
Dan
Rather: “Some days I say ‘Why is he [Clinton] doing that?’ or ‘Gosh,
can he do it a little better?’ But it may be time to, sort of as you
say, chill. We know when it comes to politics and governing, whatever
you think of this President, whether you voted for him or not, he can
hang – which is to say he can do it....”
Arsenio Hall: “See! See! Dan
is deep, ain’t he? Dan in the Hood!...I thank you for being here.
You’re a special guy. And I hope whatever you have is contagious.”
– Exchange from The Arsenio Hall Show, January 28.
Runners-up:
“Mr.
Clinton was about as relaxed as a pound of liver.”
– Dan Rather
referring to his earlier interview with Clinton, January 20 CBS This
Morning.
“Well, in Texas they have a saying: ‘That’s a good way
for Momma to drive a Cadillac,’ which is a way of saying that if you
play with one of these things, particularly if you are in a low-water
area. I would say, Harry, this morning there must be lot of people who
are in that let’s-have-another-cup-of-coffee-and-not-worry-about-it
stage. And I agree with that. That’s the stage to be in.”
– Dan Rather
with CBS This Morning co-host Harry Smith, as Hurricane Emily approached
on August 30.
“If an American inauguration can’t bring a lump
to your throat and a tear to your eye, if you don’t feel as corny as
Kansas in August, maybe you need a jump-start and some vitamins.”
– Dan
Rather during inauguration coverage, January 20.
