More From Dan Rather
- "Now, I know you expected me to say that, well, I just kick back in the rocking chair, fished a little bit, listened to Willie Nelson tapes and watched old baseball games on the Classic Sports network. And, tell you the truth, I have done that for maybe about five total minutes."
- "If I didn’t have a front-row seat on history, it was at least a seat on the aisle."
- "I respect and empathize with reporters and editors who must compete in today’s environment. And I know full well that when I’ve been covering campaigns, which I still do, I’ve made my mistakes and have been far from perfect."
More In Government
- "Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, which sooner or later becomes autocratic government."― William Lyon Mackenzie King
- "Today we must make a pact with each other to end this reckless conduct with the people’s government."― Chris Christie
- "I don’t think the government is out to get me or help someone else get me but it wouldn’t surprise me if they were out to sell me something or help someone else sell me something. I mean, why else would the Census Bureau want to know my telephone number?"― Andy Rooney
