Dan Rather on Promenade

As I set out on my morning run today, I saw a man in a dark suit standing on a platform placed between benches on the Promenade near the foot of Montague Street.  His face was spotlit and a mike was being boomed towards him as a crew prepared to shoot.  As I jogged past, I recognized him as former CBS news anchor Dan Rather.  No doubt this appearance, with lower Manhattan as his backdrop, is connected with his recently filed $70 million lawsuit against his former employer resulting from the controversial handling of the story concerning President Bush's National Guard service during the Vietnam era.

Update: Reader mrmcd points out that Rather may just have been doing a segment for his regular show on HDNet. Thanx.

    Why would it be connected? He also does a news program on a cable channel called HDNet.

    I will miss Mr. Rather during next year’s election. He sure is funny and he sure tells the truth.

    Yes, he’d have politicians quivering like a muskrat in a monsoon.

    I grabbed a shot of him yesterday morning, with my camphone, down in DUMBO also. You can see it at my photoblog ifyou click on my name.

    [...] Fellow Dumbo blogger, Dtourist snapped this photo of Dan Rather in Dumbo on Water Street on Monday. Brooklyn Heights Blog also saw Mr. Rather earlier this month on the Promenade. Maybe he’s using Brooklyn as his on-the-street reporting for his show on HDNet? Anyone know what he’s been up to in the area?
