Check this clip where Dan Rathers, anchor of CBS Evening News for 24 years, calls Obama Osama bin Laden.
“With Jesse Jackson…I have a great respect for Jesse Jackson, that he was an important figure in paving the way for an Osama bin Laden to appear. But this is one of those things, I think, by the time we get to the conventions no one’s going to remember it. It doesn’t count for very much.”
Whats worse is that nobody said anything. I don't care how old or how respected Rathers is, he needs to apologize for this. As a senior member of the press he should know better than to make a mistake like that on live television. What hurts me most is that this comment was made on my prefered news station, MSNBC. Damn, I would only expect this from Fox. But as always, Obama is still the shit. He is currently traveling abroad in Afganistan after a breif visit to the Eroupean nations where an estimated 80% prefer him over McCain.
