As our dear Twitchy readers know, for whatever reason Dan Rather thought it would be a good idea to go after Ted Cruz.
Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.
Don't you have to show your papers to get on a flight to Cancun, and check into a luxury hotel? https://t.co/2ZxEzP5OUS

Awww, so cheeky. So clever.
Oh, wait.
No.
And Ted was more than happy to let him know:
I suppose I could use fraudulent papers like the ones you counterfeited to attack Bush.
You were so partisan & dishonest that CBS fired you for fraud, which is really saying something.
So now you’re an angry Leftist who reflexively defends Dems & authoritarian mandates. https://t.co/NqP7L78eNl

Yeah yeah yeah, we know. Dan Rather is gonna Dan Rather but still.
This was dumb, even for the Godfather of Fake News.
Why anyone picks a fight with Ted we’ll never know … unless of course, it’s the only way anyone pays attention to them.
Rather's problem is that he craves relevance.

Fair point.
And the only way he can stay relevant is by begging for attention from people like TEd.
Dan's out of his league.

Indeed.
@DanRather is just a font of wisdom. Speaking of fonts, I wonder if he ever found that seventies typewriter that used Times New Roman and could do proportional spacing.

Heh.
You’ve also described Keith Olbermann.

Careful, don’t say his name out loud, otherwise he might show up and start yelling and spitting at everyone.
