Agreed.

Whether Dan knew before hand that the memos were fakes, or was just negligent can be determined later.

Right now we know that Dan gave his "personal guarantee" that the memos were authentic and the source unimpeachable. That's all that needs to be known to take him off the air immediately. To most of us a "personal guarantee" has meaning.

To most of us a "personal guarantee" has meaning. Yeah, but most of us here aren't liberals!

There were so many bright red flags over this story that there can only be two options: Rather either knew the docs were fakes when he aired them, or he is stupid beyond belief.

So, Dan, which is it?

I hadn't seen the "personal guarantee" thing.
Do you have a reference?

And I still contend that the "unimpeachable" referred to
misreading the White House response when CBS sent them
copies of the memos. The failure to impeach the documents
was seen as confirming them (and by implication, the
source).

Whether the "no comment" was a WH rope-a-dope, or the
WH merely wanted to look into it before making a formal
statement, it was the final fatal after-dinner mint for
the skewed scandal gluttons at CBS.
