September 28, 2005 -- DAN Rather wants to reopen the investigation into President Bush and the National Guard story that resulted in the Memogate scandal and led to his early departure from the anchor desk. But his bosses at CBS have forbidden him to go back at it, he said.
"CBS News doesn't want me to do that story," Rather said. "They wouldn't let me do that story,"
Rather continues to insist that the story was correct and suggested in the interview that he and the network may have been set up by some outsider.
"There are some strange, and to me, still mysterious things," he said. "Certainly unexplained things that happened about how it got attacked and why, even before the program was over," Rather said.
The report, delivered by Rather last September, was discredited two weeks later after drawing fire, first from politically conservative Web logs and later from mainstream media.
"I believed in the story," Rather said. "The facts of the story were correct.
"One supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question," he said. "To this day, no one has proven whether it was what it purported to be or not."

This is a riot. Did you change your screen name? Sounds like your kind of humor. :)
This proves beyond a doubt that Dan Rather is Bagdad Bob--must be, same # of letters, only backwards.
In fact, I turned to my wife when the memo flash on to the screen and told her they were fake. Yes, they were that bad. So bad, that I logged on to FR to see what was being said about them...
Partly, but we were on it in a matter of minutes. See post 142 above.
Dan Rather still doesn't get it! How pathetic.
Nor is he after Kerry who NEVER opened his military records to the public but criticized Bush for allegedly holding back documents and a cover up even after he had opened his records to public.
Why is that not even a story? No one in our fantastic MSM even seems to care!

While Dan requires psychiatric help (best of luck to the shrink) I know a liberal, actually a fairly smart guy in some limited ways, who still takes Dan at his word. He still thinks that the documents might be genuine! Of course it is impossible to impartially examine the evidence and come to this conclusion, so he adopted a clever tactic. He decided to studiously avoid examining the evidence! It worked perfectly! Those documents still might be genuine!
ROTFLMAO!!! It was all a GOP dirty tricks operation.
