I want to nominate Jon Stewart as Dan Rathers replacement

[Dr.Phool]

Hey, he has more credibility than anybody else on TV.

1. I second that vote! n/t

[Syrinx]

2. unfortunately, he's a comedian

Keith Olbermann, however, is a newsman.

[Dr.Phool]

4. Whats the difference?

The last serious newsman I saw was Walter Cronkite.

Aw shit, I just dated myself. I used to post to DU on Univac!

[Syrinx]

5. point taken!

I guess I'm not quite as old as you. I first accessed DU on my Commodore Vic-20. I hated the threads with a lot of graphics, on my 16 bps modem. :)

6. Walter says we need a new election. Really!

I saw a brief mention of his comments speaking to a group in Florida a week or so ago. He's still the most trusted man in America, in my book!

9. Right - I'd rather have Stewart than *Stone Phillips or one of those other

"Danielle Steele" named talking heads.

11. Stone Phillips

I mean, it's like a name from a soap opera.

3. I want Jon Stewart to stop ripping of Conan O'Brien's unfunny schtick.

[Progressive Dude]

7. I say they should get a female to replace him.

It's about time a woman filled that role.

8. Samantha Bee was out of control tonight...

She was wrong wrong wrong...just too funny and easily stole an overall exceptional show handily as Stephen Colbert does.

Jon interviewed a guy...was that Rather's replacement? If so he rocks.

[maveric]

10. Dont say that, they'll get Paula Zahn.

We dont need that goosestepping Frau Blucher now do we?

[Progressive Dude]

12. I was thinking of Cheryl Crowe.
