Dan Rather: "Obama Is Articulate But He Couldn't Sell Watermelons If You Gave Him The State Troopers To Flag Down The Traffic" (VIDEO & Transcript)
Video: Dan Rather & Andrea Mitchell with Chris Matthews -- March 7, 2010
The fact that Rather's comment hasn't garnered more attention is proof that in the politicized media 'who said it' is more important than 'what is said.'
Dan Rather is not a political conservative, nor is he viewed as an opponent of Deficit Obama, so his comments raise eyebrows but not outrage. We don't support either side (both parties are gargantuan failures, captured) but objectively it's not a tough call to say, with extreme confidence even, that had Rather's words been uttered by any Republican anywhere, the clip would be running on non-stop embarrassment loop at CNN, MSNBC and elsewhere.
Watch the 30-second clip and decide for yourself.
