Where's your checks and balances Dan? You call that checks and balances? You call someone, and read them a letter, he says ok and you go with it -- a letter that would serve to make a liar out of a presidential candidate just before an election is not worthy of a little more investigation than that???
Next time, bring your proof over here first, and the gracious freepers will help ya out, for free too! :)
DAN RATHER, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: I know that this story is true. I believe that the witnesses and the documents are authentic. We wouldn't have gone to air if they would not have been. There isn't going to be -- there's no -- what you're saying apology?
QUESTION: Apology or any kind of retraction or...
RATHER: Not even discussed, nor should it be. I want to make clear to you, I want to make clear to you if I have not made clear to you, that this story is true, and that more important questions than how we got the story, which is where those who don't like the story like to put the emphasis, the more important question is what are the answers to the questions raised in the story, which I just gave you earlier.
Don't you know who he is? He's Dan Rather. He don't need no steeenking checks and balances.
No comments whatsoever from the wife and son they also talked to prior to airing the show.
Anyone that disagrees with CBS is a partisan hack. They are pathetic.
