I flipped between FOX, CNN and CBS.  CBS is there just for Dan Rather and his Ratherisms.

Makes one wish he ahd said "Those exit polls were phonier than the Bush National Guard memos."

WOuld have been a great way to deal with teh situation with humor.

holy crap, are these quotes real?

Yes, they are all real.  Dan Rather was in many ways a terrible newsman, but he understood how to be entertaining.
