Former "CBS Evening News" anchor Dan Rather may have lost his job with the "Eye” network, but he’ll be covering the midterm elections after all. That is, if you can call a gig on the Comedy Central "covering” the elections.Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Rather will sit in during the first half-hour of Comedy Central's hour of election coverage featuring Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show” and Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report.” The show is titled "‘Indecision 2006’: The Midterm Midtacular,” and will be live at 11 p.m. on the East Coast and tape-delayed on the West Coast, TVweek.com reported.
Comedy Central has promised that the broadcast will be "unburdened by objectivity or even accuracy,” which might make Rather feel right at home.
DEDICATED TO EXPOSING DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA AND TO PROMOTING UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS - WITH SHARP ANALYSIS AND BLUNT COMMENTARY. NO ADS. NO TIP-JAR. JUST THE TRUTH.
That's the perfect gig for him. Maybe he can go haywire and have another encounter with "Kenneth."
