Dan Rather on Charlie Rose: ..."and the 'young' John Edwards...."

[cryofan]

Anyone catch the meme propagation act by Dan Rather who did a report from NH for Charlie Rose on PBS tonight? In talking about the results from the race there, he mentioned Edwards in passing, describing Edwards as the "YOUNG John Edwards." Now, I know that portraying Edwards as young and inexperienced is a major focus of the GOP attack, but what on earth is Rather doing using it in his report? Outrageous! Edwards is 50, which I think is older than Clinton in 1992, and just a bit younger than Bush was in 2000.
