Fox News Finally Has Its "Dan Rather" Moment

Remember that moment in the 1988 presidential campaign, when Dan Rather was interviewing George H.W. Bush?  Rather was pursuing a line of questioning that was embarrassing to Bush, and Bush changed the subject by bringing up the time Rather had walked off the CBS Evening News set in mid-broadcast.  After several embarrassing moments during which Rather tried to get the interview back on track, he eventually cut it short.  Rather was, not without reason, attacked by the conservative chattering class for doing so.

Well, it turns out that, now that the CCC (as I may call them from now on) has its own media foghorn, it gives them an opportunity to be embarrassed all by themselves.  In other words, to have a "Dan Rather" moment.  Take a look.
