Is Dan Rather channeling Jed Clampett?

If you're not watching CBS right now I suggest you change over. Dan seems to be losing it. Not only is he flubbing his delivery, which can't be charged to fatigue since he's been doing it all night, but he is throwing out all these bits of Southern colloquia like candy. I shit you not, I have heard:

"Bingo" - (numerous times)
"Are your fingernails sweating?" - have to admit to never hearing that one before
"Go pop a cold one" - hahaha

There are numerous others that don't come to mind just now, but it is hilarious and I hope to see it again. I think he is truly upset about the election results.

I am listening to 'My City Was Gone' by the Pretenders right now, and what an amazingly appropriate song it is at the moment.
