Rather is a pathetic loser...and always was. Given that Walter Cronkite was a tough act to follow, shallow Dan had enough time to make his own mark in the world of news journalism...and he did. Dead ass last every year in the network TV news business. Now he’s becoming even a bigger jerk by trying to prove he wasn’t a jerk in the first place. Still a pitiful jerk...and EVERYBODY knows it!!!

Wow “Sid the Sleeze” rears his head again. I had wondered where that Clintoid was hiding out. Hard to knows who is more of a slime: Blumenthal or Ickies?

Sid be attempting miracle writing these days if he is actually trying to resurect Dan Rather’s reputation.

Jeez, not this sh*t again!

Sid Blumenthal, America’s most vile and repulsive liar.

Danny Boy, the Danster, suffers from the “buckwheats”.

Any fool could see those documents were fake. All I did was point out the obvious.

Please, please, somebody take my deposition.

What is Dan’s story today?

Did he get another e-mail on Lotus Notes 1973?

When Sid comes to your aid, you know you have hit bottom.

Why he is saying "They were never proven fake" is unreal. Even the Selectric could'nt do proportional spacing. He is trying to save his name and blames his contemporaries with not doing the fact checking. The funny thing is he still claims the documents are "accurate". Well Mr. Rather give me the originals (if they exist)!

Good Job Sir!

Mmmm, Sid...If CBS was looking to suppress Rather’s report, they picked an extremely strange way to do it. They broadcast the report. In prime time, even. They released the documents. Put them on the Web, even. That the story fell apart once the public got hold of it is not really CBS’ fault. Well, at least not in the sense that Dan can sue them for it. Just a thought, both to Dan and Mary Mapes in particular and to CBS News in general: Maybe y’all should banish from your vocabularies the phrase “too good to check”.

And the idea that Abu Ghraib got suppressed by any major media outlet, much less CBS...Sid’s on crack.

Even Sid Evil can't believe this $hiite.

When I was in Catholic high school in Queens (part of the Brooklyn Diocese), Cardinal Spellman died. We got a day off so the Brothers could attend the funeral. In Catholic high school black humor we immediately began to chant in stage whispers, “Go McEntegart (Bishop of Brooklyn), go!”

This case just HAS TO GO TO TRIAL!!! (no! REALLY!!!) (think of what will come out of this win/win/winner!!!)

It's RED on RED. Nazis/Soviets, Iran/Iraq, Cowboys/Colts!

It doesn't get any better.

Looks like the DIM’s aren’t getting the donations they had hoped for. They had to dust off the “Rather Absurd” to try to get the rage up for those last minute donations. Yep, they are puking all the key words to get the vitriol going and the wallets open.
