8. That was, perhaps, the best 120 seconds of TV journalism I've ever seen.
I'm guessing about the 120 seconds. I wanted it to go on forever. I have seen nothing like Dan Rather's piece tonight since (maybe) Watergate or Iran-Contra. Even then, I cannot remember such pointed, germane questions being asked of a sitting president. It is quite possible that Dan Rather changed history tonight. IMHO.
