Dan’s Not Even Cold Yet

Matt Welch is saying goodbye to Dan Rather over at Reason Online but not in a good way:

The battle over Diamond Dan’s obit continues to be waged elsewhere. My own two cents has nothing to do with fonts, pajamas, liberal bias, or the name “Kenneth.” What irked me about Rather was that he was one of journalism’s all-time great self-flagellators, always eager to confess blame for the declining standards of the trade, always making sure to spread that blame out nice and thick on the rest of us...and always showing up on time to collect his seven-figure paycheck.

There’s a lot more.
