Good evening, I'm Dan Rather. in yet another stinging setback for so-called President Bush, in a revelation that could hurt Republicans in the coming elections, it was revealed today that the weapon used by the DC sniper was a .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle made by Bushmaster Firearms, a gun manufacturer in Windham, Maine, the same state that is home to the President's father, former President Geaorg Bush. CBS has been unable to confirm - but we can't rule it out - that those invloved in manufacturing and selling this lethal weapon may have indeed voted for the President. Sorry, Dan...NBC beat you to the punch last night. Brokaw ran with a story last night stating that the CEO of Bushmaster had been a major contributor to the current President's 2000 campaign. That CEO had stepped down from Bushmaster to keep anyone from linking George Bush with the 'gun culture'. Didn't work...they will do whatever it takes to link the president to those EEEEEEEEvil guns. Tom, you're just an anti-American b*stard.
