There’s been a Dan Rather sighting, last night at UC Berkeley. Perhaps he was hoping for an exclusive interview with Mario Savio. The sympathetic writeup to which I’ve linked probably tells less than it could, but Dan clearly has the making of our next Alger Hiss (“Rather dodged Schell’s questions about what exactly went down with the Bush’s National Guard service story or whether he believes the story is fully accurate…”). On the other hand, only someone as screwy as Dan could hide behind corporate fear of controversy as the reason why he was clueless regarding the power of blogs. Best of all, he considers himself “independent,” not liberal. “My best work is still ahead of me,” he warned.
