I gulped and tried to breathe... i wonder what her mentor the BEAST will have to say about this??? sounds like what it said about SlickWillie in it's own book of lies.

She has leapt from #255,000 on the list to around 155,000, which is a whole 100,000 better than yesterday!

Better re-eyeball that earlier post, Ciss.

Today: #255,086 in Books

That was Rank 155,355 YESTERDAY

RANK 255,086 TODAY

The book, one month before published release date, is dropping faster than a bag of dirt. Gotta really be making the publisher happy, what with Amazon pulling the excerpts because of a steady drumbeat of ridicule on the 'net.

BWHA-HAHAHAHAHAHA!

even the skanks Father thinks she's a POS!!!

But Mapes' father sees a political agenda behind his daughter's work. Don Mapes, 76, was a recent guest on a radio talk show hosted by John Carlson on KVI in Seattle.

He said, "I'm really ashamed of what my daughter has become. She's a typical liberal. She went into journalism with an ax to grind, and that was to promote radical feminism."

He confessed to being disappointed in his daughter's role in the controversy. He said, "When I heard about 60 Minutes, I suspected she would be the producer of the show."

In an interview with Talon News, Don Mapes said his suspicion was because that he believed, "Dan Rather and she have been working on this ever since Bush was elected."

In commenting on the Wednesday's 60 Minutes show, he said, "It was a farce, it was fraud. I'm sorry as a father that my daughter was the producer of it."

His fatherly instinct showed through when he said, "To give her the benefit of the doubt, I believe she has been had."

But he also chastised his daughter for being intellectually dishonest.

He said, "She ought to look closer at George Soros or Michael Moore."

Mary Mapes declined several opportunities to comment for this article.

I loved how all the DUmmies were desperately trying to reproduce the memos on 70's vintage equipment.

One clue in the mystery is that Kurtz writes that he had been meaning to get to this item “for some time,” so perhaps the excerpt got pulled a few days ago. But it doesn't explain why the entire book has gone missing at Amazon.

I've heard that Amazon wasn't supposed to post the excerpt until the release date and now Amazon is in the doghouse.

"My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . . The little girl in me wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out."

Sounds like a quote from DU to me.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Oooh! Mary, look what fell out of your barrel! You were supposed to serve up this little treat to American people hot, steaming, and covered in flies!

[KStorm]

I loved how all the DUmmies were desperately trying to reproduce the memos on 70's vintage equipment.

Golly, does that mean any one of them can reproduce the memo on a Selectic and give it to CBS* and call it truth? Damn, wouldn't surprise me one bit.

*CBS stands for Controlled By Satan.

Rather and Mapes - Thanks to FreeRepublic in the toilet. Flush.

[gardencatz]

I was shocked...I was terrified...I was furious...I was helpless to do anything about any of it.

My, my, my, my, my! Poor little self-centered victim, she should go on tour with mama sheehan. The Moonbat Girl Tour!

If so, they would have done it by now.

[popdonnelly]

She expected the media to come to her defense because she's one of them, even if she was wrong. Says a lot.

Faxing changes a document in so many ways

Hey Mary, try faxing your book to yourself.

If you keep trying, it might change from a whiny pack of excuses for getting caught to a great opus of ultimate victim hood.

"I gulped and tried to breathe."

Remember Hillary and "gulping for air" when she supposedly discovered Bill's indiscretion with Monica?

[mmercier]

>> --"To these people, there was no such thing as unbiased mainstream reporting, certainly not when it came to criticism of the president...

And certainly not when it was first reported by CBS.

[Irene Adler]

"My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . ."

"Hmmmm, that sounds just like Hillary's reaction when she found out about Monica. Does Mapes use the same ghostwriter?"

I see you got there before me!

[InterceptPoint]

--"To these people, there was no such thing as unbiased mainstream reporting, certainly not when it came to criticism of the president, no matter how tepid. To them, there was Fox News and everything else -- and everything else was liberal and unfair."

CBS worked hard to get a reputation as a biased liberal network that cannot be trusted. Likewise Fox (maybe not as fair and balanced as they like to think) is simply miles ahead of CBS in the credibility of their news reporting. Their is simply no comparison.

CBS News is dying and it will not be mourned on FR.

Fox is on a roll becuase they are interesting, report the news with only a slight bend to the right and they have the best looking gals.

I sure hope Buckhead and Howlin make it into the book, that would be priceless.

I would also like to see her quote being ZOTTED! LOL

[investigateworld]

Thanks Karl, old PJ hit it outta de park with that one!

[GladesGuru]

"To them, there was Fox News and everything else -- and everything else was liberal and unfair."

And her point is?

What will happen to her little mind in that little pointy head when she realizes we think Fox has a bit too much tolerance for the socialism impaired?
