White House Reaction to CBS Report, Firings

White House Press Briefing ^ | 1/10/2005 | White House press briefing

"Dan who?"

[pikachu]

C^bs keeps saying Rather is 'resigning' in March. Boy his arse must be chapped after being kissed so much.

[Loyal Buckeye]

But CBS is not being contrite, the standard that must be met before any screw-up by a Republican is considered by the MSM for forgiveness.

[uncbob]

How about this reaction "We are actively pursuing an investigation into the forging of federal documents that was done to influence a Presidential election and the full force of the DOJ will be brought to bear"

[Bigg Red]

I'd like to believe that Rather is getting the boot, but I have to say that there was talk a good while before Rathergate that he had planned to retire as anchor.

[OldFriend]

Rather is leaving with a well deserved cloud over his head.

How sweet it is.

[annyokie]

Be patient.

[samadams2000]

How about nutting up Bush and saying..."No it isnt enough..in fact I wonder who'se running that company. Rather should have been fired. To this day he believes the documents are real. SO..no I do not think weve heard the end of this.""

[MJY1288]

And what about Sandy Burger

[beyond the sea]

Hannity now basically acting as a 'pussy' to Schieffer......... what a surprise!

[Terabitten]

I'd like to believe that Rather is getting the boot, but I have to say that there was talk a good while before Rathergate that he had planned to retire as anchor.

Yeah, but it would be more expected for him to retire at the 25 year anniversary, instead of at 24 and some change like he is now. I think that he announced his retirement to pre-empt any further action against him.

[texasmountainman]

How long will it be before Mary Mapes is on the morning TV news and cable TV shows (like Chrissy Matthews) being portrayed as a victim of the VRWC?

[OldFriend]

AAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKK Sean has kneepads for Bob Scheifer.......

[BubbaJunebug]

Probably about 8pm this evening

[beyond the sea]

Sean is a whore! Oh yeh, I remember................ Bob Scheiffer is "my good old friend" ......... BULL!

Hannity is a media whore!

[dead]

ED CHEN, LA TIMES: How did the President learn of the CBS development? And what was his direct reaction?

MR. McCLELLAN: His reaction is my reaction to the report. And he was reformed

Reformed. LOL!

We can only wish the same for Dan Ra^ther and Mary Mapes!

[uncbob]

And what about Sandy Burger

Yep
Another one for DOJ

If this was the democrats in power they would be all over these two issues and so would the MSM

[John Lenin]

Dan Rather runs the whole show at CBS News and they fire four underlings ? Doesn't matter, he retires in shame.

[Marine_Uncle]

"And what about Sandy Burger". Speaking of. I bet since it is behind closed doors now, he will fly free as a bird.
