I love this one;

"I've got a sneaky admiration for Dan Rather because I'm never sure when he's going to go bonkers on you. He always looks like he's gonna just stop and say, 'All right, mother****ers, here it comes. We've got the bodies in hangar 18, the government has been lying to you....' And then they're going to drag him off."
--Steven King, quoted in the 1990 book, Anchors: Brokaw, Jennings, Rather and the Evening News by Robert Goldberg and Gerald Goldberg.

Rather was known to do damn near anything to keep his ratings.
