It's the best thing Woody Allen's said in years:
"If you observe [Bush], it's quite amusing. If you listen to him as he speaks, if you follow him closely, it would provide you a great many laughs. But it's . . . comic moments against a very, very tragic background."
(via Page Six)

Also, for those of you who woefully weren't aware of this fact: Dan Rather was my Anderson Cooper long before Anderson Cooper became my new Anderson Cooper (or new Dan Rather? ...Anyway)...so I'll admit that through good times and bad times (uh, hello, like now) I always hold on to a bit of affection for the crazy-talking Texan (maybe it's the Texas part? Maybe it's the crazy-talking? Perhaps just his inimitable blend of the two?)

Anyway, also from Page 6...this:

AS if Dan Rather didn't have enough problems, a new off-Broadway play is dredging up one of the strangest episodes in the CBS anchor's life. Playwright Paul Allman's dark comedy "Kenneth — What Is the Frequency?" is based on the 1986 mystery in which two well-dressed men beat Rather up outside his Upper East Side home while repeating that phrase. (The bizarre beat-down inspired R.E.M.'s song, "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?") Fresh from a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the play debuts here Oct. 21 at 78th Street Theatre Lab.

Really, what other newscaster inspires such art?
