What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

What's evident from Howard Kurtz's coverage of the Dan Rather case is that the former anchor is more than slightly weird. Who else would file a case that revealed him as nothing more than an empty suit given to self-promoting fibs (i.e. that he stepped down at CBS of his own accord)?

A telling detail is that he insists that he hired a team to pursue a case against CBS "out of his own pocket." Well, who else would hire one for him? Sounds like the empty suit in question has lived such a well-comped life that having to meet his own expenses is noteworthy, doesn't it?
