We thought perhaps we’d mistakenly signed up for a subscription to AARP: The Magazine when we opened our mailbox today and pulled out a copy of SXSWorld, the official newsletter for the South by Southwest festival. Semi-disgraced CBS anchor Dan Rather — who’s scheduled to keynote the interactive portion of the annual music conference in Austin, Texas — swimming in a lake in a T-shirt and shorts, grinning like Grandpa after an especially good dose of Fibercon? We know Rather’s a native Texan, but do they really think showing us his ghostly-white quads is gonna amp up SXSW registrations? We can already picture next month’s issue of SXSWorld: Bea Arthur in bicycle shorts, pedaling toward Emo’s for the Vagrant showcase!

attaching the word “disgraced” to dan rather’s name IS completely unnescecary

It’s not a lake he’s in! It’s the natural, spring fed Barton Springs Pool near downtown.
That’s all =)

I agree with anon. Are you all GOP party hacks?

Is that a REAL picture, or another Rather-related fake document?

rather is badass. he is also a really decent guy.
he tried to win the election in 2004 by nailing bush and he just missed because some producer didn’t do enough checking. imagine if it had worked. as for the picture, the guy’s 75 years-old!!! he’s in a t-shirt and shorts, not a thong.
jenny eliscu is the disgrace. DON’T MESS WITH TEXANS
