Sorry I couldn't be there. Several points:
I wonder if we're thnking too small here. What happened to Arthur Andersen after the Enron debacle? Understand, CBS/Viacom will not go out of business (yet), but CBS News might. CBS might wind up having to outsource its news operation (maybe to Fox News?).
Although CBS is trying to make this man Burkett the scapegoat, I think that somebody high in the Democratic party, like Terry McAuliffe, must have been the real prime mover. I can't believe that CBS News did this on their own hook, if only because they would have made a better job of it (somebody there must remember how to use a typewriter). Equally, I can't believe that CBS would stick its corporate neck out on Burkett's say-so. But if the Party assured CBS that the memos were real - well, as Sam Spade said of his murdered partner in "The Maltese Falcoln", they're just dumb enough for that.
Third, this points out what should be obvious, but apparently isn't - that what comes from unnamed sources should be viewed with the greatest skepticism. Periodically, books are published identifying this or that person as Deep Throat. Personally, I have long been convinced that Deep Throat didn't exist; or, to put it another way, that Bob Woodward was Deep Throat.
I think Cbs is a little near sighted myself. Perhaps they need glasses... errr or something like this..
*sigh* You gals/guys have all the fun!
Love the PJs!
I turned on msnbc right before 10pm for Scarborough and they had a panel discussion...one of their cyberconsultants said that this story isn't dying and right before he came on he checked his 'blogs' and said there was a pajama protest outside of cbs. He almost chuckled as did the woman host. I lost it! Wish I lived closer!
Great job again!
BUMP!!!
LOL I Love it!!!!
You guys rule there in DC. Great job!!!
Yeah right. Richard Mellon Scaife and Roger Murdoch paid you guys thousands of dollars to protest CBS. I bet you rolled your Hummer up there stright from the White House basement. You must be one of Bush's rich oil buddies.
You aren't fooling us. You are working for that secretive right-wing extremist billionaire MR CONFETTIMAN!.
Way to GO, D.C. Chapter! Thank you!
Fun! Fun! Fun!

Heard the report on WMAL on my way home last night. The PJs were a great touch. Did they get the pajama part or did it just go over their heads?
