    This is ridiculous. I'll bash Dan Rather for lying and ginning up false evidence to promote his political point of view, but just because in his example the good being sold is a watermelon doesn't make him a racist. I'm pretty sure all kinds of folks sell watermelons.

    I don't get Rather's point. The GOP is going to attack Obama by pointing out that he's a lousy salesman?

    I think the larger point is Dan Rather is an idiot.

    He's an interesting variety of idiot though. I'm still tickled by "what is the frequency, Kenneth?".

    Courage,
