What's The Frequency, Kenneth?

Lookie, lookie, lookie: Dan Rather made an alleged sexist remark.
NEW YORK - CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves shot back at former CBS news anchor Dan Rather on Tuesday, saying remarks Rather made about his successor, Katie Couric, were "sexist."

Rather, speaking on MSNBC by phone on Monday, said CBS had made the mistake of taking the evening news broadcast and "dumbing it down, tarting it up," and playing up topics such as celebrities over war coverage. The comments appeared in blogs and in a story published Tuesday in the New York Daily News.

While referring to Couric as a "nice person," Rather said "the mistake was to try to bring the 'Today' show ethos to the 'Evening News,' and to dumb it down, tart it up in hopes of attracting a younger audience." (H/T - Yahoo!)
So, I suppose it will only be a matter of moments before Al Sharpton, NOW, and the other liberal moonbats will call for Rather's firing/shunning/hanging, right? Oh, sorry, is my sarcasm showing?

Look Danny Boy, if CBS was going to "tart up" the news, they wouldn't pick an anchor that looks like Miss Congeniality from the Mrs. Cankles Pageant. They would pick someone who puts the "pop" in "tart" - namely, French info-babe Melissa Theuriau.
