Rock bottom? Rather does poker puff piece for 60 Minutes

When Dan Rather rode off into the sunset at CBS News, it was said that he’d still do a few stories every now and then. Last night was an all-star performance, as Rather sat down for some tips from some of America’s top poker players. (See the video here.)

Dan Rather was joined by Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harmon and Chris Moneymaker, among others, who spent a lot of time talking about how great they are. Rather, in his trademark deadpan, stated that Moneymaker’s move on Farha at the 2003 World Series was “known as the Bluff of the Century.” Another highlight was Rather being given the essential poker players’ hardware: a baseball cap and sunglasses.

I think we could call this rock bottom for the man who anchored the CBS News desk for so many years.
