Another Great American.
Looks like he should be playing the "Chuckie" doll in a horror flick.
BINGO?

Would be interesting to get a prosecutor's view on this.
Or any atty really.
see posts 60 and 63.
Sure looks like they broke Texas law....
Gotta wonder what an atty would think of that.
Looks good to me! Unfortunately, I am not a lawyer!
How low do you have to be when even the DNC turns up it's nose??

David Van Os then gave a rousing speech about the need to reactivate the base of our state Party and what must be done to revitalize it. He discussed the potential upcoming Communication Workers of America (CWA) strike against SBC, due to SBC’s insistence that the union concede on some health care benefits. He attributed the decline of the Texas Democratic Party to the Party neglecting to organize its base, while pursuing the “mythological swing vote”, resulting in a “continuing spiral of losses”. David encouraged us to look to our legacy of great leadership from past Democrats such as Harry Truman, Ralph Yarborough, Glen Maxey, James Stephen Hogg and Jim Hightower, leaders who ran as populists, not away from that tradition.
Our featured speaker was Jim Hightower, who spoke of his mixed emotions as he watched our Congressional Democratic leadership in Washington.

But I don't know if it is going to result in changes for the better. I feel that part of Dan's delusion is he thinks he's impartial on the air, even though he is obviously consumed by his bias.
Call me cynical, but I think news organizations will see his inadmission to tilting to the left as Rather's downfall, not his acceptance of bad data. I suspect they will just continue to become more openly partisan...so if you are conservative, you will watch one channel, liberal another.
And the 'facts' will rarely surface in such an environment. Instead it will be all about personalities like Carville or "Bow-Tie Boy" or whomever and how well they can "spin" and "slam", not about events. We already see so much of this now. Soon, the news will be 24 hour campaign commercials.
WTH ever happened to "reporting"?
The first time I looked quickly at the picture, I thought it was Tim Russert.
Love the MSM feeding frenzy!
Everyone ganging up on CBS and Dan Rather – not because he’s a fraud, but because they want the market share. I don’t really care why, I just like that it is happening.
You got that right. It's so juicy even the media that normally protects lefties are going for the jugular.
Burkett needs to be subpoenaed in any case. Last time I checked forgery was still a crime in the good ol' US.
Awesome comment by Staudt. A real Texan, like GW.
