Dan Rather
I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell.
Dan Rather

Those market researchers... are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother's big toe was when it came to predicting the weather.
Dan Rather
If I didn't have a front-row seat on history, it was at least a seat on the aisle.
