Dan Rather tried to use fake documents about President Bush’s National Guard service to unseat a President during a time of War.  It was disgraceful and in my opinion, traitorous.

 

Now Danny boy is trying to sue CBS for 70 gajillion simoleons because he lost his job.  This means that he has been frothing at the mouth since 2005 over the exposure that he is a bad reporter.

From the AP here:

Dan Rather filed a $70 million lawsuit Wednesday against CBS, alleging that the network made him a “scapegoat” for a discredited story about President Bush’s National Guard service.

The 75-year-old Rather, whose final months were clouded by controversy over the report, says the complaint stems from “CBS’ intentional mishandling” of the aftermath of the story.

Rather is seeking $20 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages.

CBS spokesman Dana McClintock said: “These complains are old news, and this lawsuit is without merit.”

Michelle Malkin has more.  So Does Little Green Footballs, who broke the original forged documents story.

Do you think that Dan Rather is happy that Katie Couric’s ratings are so abyssmal?
