All I can say is not soon enough<br /> <br /><br /><br />Rather to Resign 'CBS Evening News' Post <br /><br />By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer <br /><br />NEW YORK - Dan Rather, whose nearly 24-year tenure as anchor of the "CBS Evening News" was clouded by a recent questionable report on President Bush's National Guard service, said Tuesday he will step down in March. <br /><br /><br />Rather said his last broadcast as anchor would be March 9, the 24th anniversary of when he assumed the position from Walter Cronkite. <br /><br /><br />The 73-year-old newsman said he will continue to work for CBS, as a correspondent for both editions of "60 Minutes." <br /><br /><br />"I have always been and remain a hard news' investigative reporter at heart," he said in a statement. "I now look forward to pouring my heart into that kind of reporting full time." <br /><br /><br />SEE YA...............
