I find the timing of this RATHERGATE scandal "suspicious".

Now this could get real interestin! My bet is someone is going to take a real fall on these documents.

Just for yuks, how 'bout Unca Dan is in Texas to make a deal? Say for instance: he's going to make 'ol Burcky the fall guy but, Burk knows a little bit more than Blather wants to admit to his fans, (both of 'em).

This looks to me like damage control to get all there ducks in a line. Why would SeeBS have to send RatherNot to Texas? In the past they have always sent someone else. I'll tell you the truth this looks to me like we're going to see and end to this soon and Burkette is not going to have to worry about retirement. Hell, I'm sure once Dan is done with him he will be more than willing to take one for the 'ol DNC and be mighty proud of it too! He's going to be a hero! He's going to save Rather’s butt and keep SeeBS ratings from going all the way to hell.

What do you ‘spose that will be worth $$$$$?

Only problem is this guy’s one lap short of finishing the race and it could really come back like the aroma of a two day old diaper that got pushed under the couch.

We’re not done with the comedy relief yet folks!

Conspiracy? Mikey More would be proud of me!!!!!!!!

CBS was not deceived. They were a willing party to fraud.

Now that CBS has admitted that the documents were forgeries, they no longer have an obligation to protect the SOURCE of the forgeries!

ATTENTION CBS & DAN RATHER: NAME THE SOURCE OF THE FORGERIES!

And by WHO were you deceived, CBS? Pray tell...

That will be the interesting part. Deception has to have a player. Who deceived them? That is a VERY important part of the story, and one which must be addressed.

Dan said on National TV the other night that if it turns out the story he has is wrong, he would like to be the one to break the story. Hahahahaaa, the idiot doesn't acknowledge that a Freeper already broke the story. D-Nile is not a river Dan.

My research into the command link for the memos will not be affected one bit by this news. An utterly disgraced story was dumped on the American people as truth and it needs to be run down. Too little, too late MSM.

NEWSFLASH...

THE MOON IS NOT MADE OUT OF CHEESE!

Perhaps Dan can break this story at the same time.

Maybe by the debates, Rather can have someobdy write up some documents, about Kofi's and Saddam's "Money for Korrupt Men Wearing Kaftans, Riding in Black Limos in NYC."

Dan can explain why the UN have credibility left, whatsoever.

Why Kerry's notions about us taking counsel from France and Russia and China, before we do what we think is in our best interest, after 9/11/2001 kills over 3,000 of our citizens, on our shores.

John Kerry sure better get his nuanced thinking Kap on straight, and get to work with the compexities of these confusing matters.

Because I think GWB will cut straight to the heart of these matters, with some pared-down-to-the-main-points Texican lingo.

There may not be very much heart left in JFK, for delving into Bush's military career, either. Now that CBS and ole Dan flubbed that one.

"We were deceived."

Yes, deceived by yourselves--self-deception. It's called denial, and it's the most dangerous thing in the world.

Delusional people should not be in positions of leadership or influence.

Does this mean CBS will review all stories done by this producer and see if she has used false information before? It throws into question a lot of their past reporting. If they don't fire Dan Rather they aren't serious about regaining any credibility, not that they ever had any.

Alright. What FREEPER has it altogether to do a timeline of this all, starting with Rather's question raised @ the Republican convention if he thought turnabout would be fair play [since much had been raised about Kerry's military record, would it fair to raise questions about Bush's].

We need a timeline to pass on to media outlets so they can get a clue & start seeing the big picture. I think we need a new training school called, the FREEPER School of Bloggerism [Hey, journals and its accompanying 'ism' began to evaporate a decade ago].

Burkett hasn't spoken to anyone but CBS since it came out he was probably the source for the forged memos. As soon as their name was mentioned in the press, an innocent person would have immediately been on the phone calling all over, or having a representative call all over in an attempt to clear their name. They'd be on the TV repeatedly or talking to the press to try to countermand any misgivings about their involvement in the incident. Burkett hasn't done any of that. In fact, the only one he's chosen to speak to is Rather, the one he originally turned the memos over to. That's like Major Andre interviewing Benedict Arnold about the (Arnold) documents that ended up in his (Andre's) boots.
