There are many states for which the deadline for names on the ballot has already passed. Any replacement will not be valid in those states.

Hadn't thought of that. The dems would need more than a single compliant state supreme court to bend the rules for them as they did for Lautenberg. Thanks, I feel better now.

bttt

And I taped this and watched it just now.

This story is getting more Clintonian, not Nixonian, by the day. It is surreal.

"Did you forge anything?" asks Dan, eyes bulging.

"No" says Bill, jaw clenched.

Uh, Dan. I've got, ahem, news for you: you have planted a bomb in the crotch of the Kerry campaign and it went off rather well. It's going to be fun watching the juiceless Kerryites scurry in the coming weeks, and you too, as you all frantically try to get us all back 'on message'. But, too late. That bomb really really went off rather nicely.

Of course, as Hillary peruses these FR threads, quietly, thoughtfully, she notices a remarkable absence of her name in the posts. That Dan's network had a lot to do with her rise to her current post in life. I bet she's chewing some gum right now.

Note Hitlary: please run in 2008 ... please. Your husband was one of the best things that EVER happened to the Republican party. If you run, his face, his voice, his laughter ... it will be on T.V. .... alot. And that will be good for us. Really good. So gloat, and burp, as you digest the John F. Kerry strawman. Enjoy your private dinners w/ M. CLeland, chuckle too with him at your leisure.

But notice: the 'gatekeepers' you so lovingly referred to are not here in the blogsphere ... and I doubt they ever will be.

I havn't forgotten how you acted the day they found a dead Vince Foster.

You are one cold, cold broad.

which means that CBS had a pre-concieved notion of what the they wanted to hear and see, and were looking for evidence to back it up. This, as opposed to reporting facts and letting people make up their own minds. Yellow Journalism at its be

Hey, when your bottom of the barrel in the ratings, ya gotta establish your new niche market. The Natl Enquirer doesn't have a broadcast network, so CBS decided to "forge ahead" in developing a new marketing strategy.

Were pigs flying around during that interview and did hell freeze over last night.

Those couldn't have been two journalism professors talking that way.

Jane Austen wrote that once a face is taken, it's taken for generations ... I'd never seen the photo you reposted till tonight and I don't know if Robin Rather is a real person or what's up but if that IS Dan Rather's daughter -- If no one had ever seen Dan Rather, this photo wouldn't give such a shock.

In my opinion, Dan Rather's "apology" was nothing new. If he was truly misled, he should have called for Bill Burkett's head on a stick and demanded the other "source" come forward ASAP, so that they could have their head put on a stick. Dan Rather wasn't angry. To be honest, Dan is still hiding something.
