bump for great read

So why aren't they? The only reasonable conclusion is that the source -- or trail of sources -- is even more incriminating than the fake documents. Why else would Heyward and Rather allow the CBS news division to commit slow, public suicide?

There's the question, indeed.

[stands2reason]

...the over-the-top intros: ''Bob Schieffer, one of the best hard-nosed reporters in the business, has been working his sources. What have you managed to uncover for us, Bob?'', after which Bob reads out a DNC press release.

Priceless! Hey, Freedude, FYI, it is customary to put Mark Steyn's name in the title, like so:

Mark Steyn: CBS Defense of Rather Hints at Bigger Story

That way, we'll all know to click on the link.

after you and your money-no-object resources-a-go-go ''60 Minutes'' crew

That's a good description.

''You have sat too long for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!''

Great Steyn read!

[jporcus]

Absolutely delicious stuff! Steyn is my hero.

Things are finally starting to heat up, baby!

Indeed!

I got a chuckle of out of Mark Steyn's Oliver Cromwell tag line. However, I beg to differ with him. I want Danron to stay right where he is, so we remember who liberals are. If he goes we learn nothing from this entire sorry episode. There are good reasons to have him around, the principal one being Danron is a living exhibit of what liberalism has become today. I say for the sake of America, keep him at CBS!!!

[igoramus987]

Forget about Rather. He is totally discredited now. Lets trackdown the sources.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

You'd think CBS would be mad as hell to find whoever it was who stitched them up and made them look idiots. So why aren't they? The only reasonable conclusion is that the source -- or trail of sources -- is even more incriminating than the fake documents. Why else would Heyward and Rather allow the CBS news division to commit slow, public suicide?

Just as Watergate led not only to CReEP but to the FBI and CIA, Rathergate leads no doubt to the DNC, the Kerry campaign and CBS and Viacom top management with tentacles into other media corporations. There are ten Pulitzers waiting for the inside whistle blower, assuming he also brings down the communist Pulitzer committee.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....Hel-looooo? Earth to the Lost Planet of Ratheria: You can't ''break that story.'' A guy called ''Buckhead'' did that, on the Free Republic Web site a couple of hours after you ..........

Bump!

[Tom_Busch]

That's gonna sting. Fantastic article!

[atomic conspiracy]

It really seems now that the most sensational, lurid, and damningly partisan theory for the provenance of the forgeries is the correct one: they originated with a lunatic in Texas, but they came to Rather from the DNC and John Kerry is directly involved.
Revealing this now would destroy whatever slight chance Kerry still has of a comeback, and possibly lead to the first pre-election withdrawal by a major party Presidential candidate in American history.
Rather and CBS do not want to go down in history for this. Not only would their fellow lefties curse them to the dying breath of liberalism, but they would become a laughingstock till the end of time. A thousand years from now, "rather" might be a common lower-case noun for a pompous incompetent who misses some obvious flaw in his plans.

[beyond the sea]

Or as the New York Times' headline put it: ''Memos On Bush Are Fake But Accurate.''

Did they really write that?

I think that you hit the nail on the head with this one.

It's either a Kerry connection they are protecting or, God forbid, could Dan's daughter be involved?
