In discussing if people told him not to do what was done, Rather says something like, if someone does, "he doesn't listen. In my opinion he listens to no one."

Watched him give a speech a couple of months ago. Worth reading his book and listening to him. He is a national treasure!

Truer words were never spoken. An unhinged madman is in the WH and has the support of 35-40% of the country. Astounding.

He challenged Nixon on the Vietnam war when almost nobody else in the news business would take him on. Rather was awesome then and he still deserves our respect. I want to read his new book "What Unites Us."

He's obviously in far better mental shape, and has to be in much better physical shape for his years.

Its appallingly bizzare with what we are witness to now. But when some of the White House staff and even appointees are free of that POS, I think there will be a whole other level of shock and disgust.

And I will hurl if turncoats like Graham and McConnell, dare to then act all innocent and shocked themselves. "If we'd have only known...." They better all go down now with the fat orange boat.
