Good to see he still gets airtime because I am sure there are millions of people who care what this Epic Fail of a talking head has to say.

It’s a date, like September 11, that ought to be firmly fixed in any President’s mind as they go about the duties of their office with its overriding mandates to preserve, protect, and defend.

“Process” is making this transition easy — process instigated by Mr. Bush. It’s just one more feather in his cap.

Dan Rather: New presidents should take over on December 1

And old disgraced news people should STFU!

1. Find out what the frequency is for Kenneth

2. Produce a document from 1970 stating the case for this that was done using MS Word 2007 on a color laser printer.

Since Dopey Dan is being silly, I guess I can too.. Here is an idea.. I think GWB still has some of his flying skills. He should have the right to challenge obama to an aerial duel. Get a pair of vintage F-102s and hang a couple of falcons on them. They get to 20k feet with 2 miles separation and then the fights on… As I said, that makes as much sense as Dummy Dan’s idiotic blathering. Winner can either take the presidency or name his successor.

Oops, the libs will say that isn’t fair, after all obama never served in the military and was too busy reading Marx and Engles to have read something like the flight manual for a 102.. silly me..

Quite a lot. Aside from allowing time for disputed vote counts from state to state (hence the delayed electoral college vote), it’s not just a matter of making cabinet picks. Its filling hundreds of sub-cabinet level positions – which requires vetting mountains of resumes (some of which would certainly never be submitted till the outcome of the election is actually known) as well as interviews and security vetting of any potential hires. Anyone who comes from outside DC, will have to make make housing and moving arrangements, along with enrolling children in schools, etc.

That’s all pretty much before you even begin to start bringing people up to speed with intel and departmental briefings, and start working up policy as a team. And of course, there’s an inauguration to arrange — which is probably the small potatoes part.

If we’re going to truncate anything, let’s take time off the front end of the campaign season. Please!

On the other hand, back in 1980, with double-digit inflation, unemployment over eight percent and the hostages entering their second year of captivity in Iran, the only person Dan really was itching to have move up their retirement date to give the American public some bold, fresh leadership was Walter Cronkite.

3 weeks isn’t enough to put an admin together.

Seriously, hand in your journalist card NOW, Mr Blather.
