Filed to: time for us to bug out

Four of the seven counts in the suit brought by Dan Rather against his former employers at CBS have been dismissed. Unfortunately for CBS, among the three remaining counts is the "the $70 million in compensatory and punitive damages Rather is seeking from CBS for breaching his contract." So the vast government conspiracy bit of the lawsuit is apparently without merit, but he'll still get his money (maybe). After the jump, we've embedded the text of the judge's decision. And because that is not very interesting, we've also embedded a rockin music video.

Wow... the video must be what it would be like to watch the tape made by smuggling a camera inside Dan Rather's head.

@miss_msry:

That's what it's been reduced to, since Moonves had the gall to bounce Rather out so unceremoniously.

I hope Rather gets his money. Moonves is a hack whose only claim to fame was predicting that Survivor would be a hit. Rather may be a little nutty, but his contributions have been light-years ahead of Moonves'.
