That's funny, I think she should be dusting off her lawyer.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!! Oh stop it!
I say again, we could get a real war going here by sending here lots of emails saying that we believe CBS is throwing her in front of the train because she's just a girl.
My theory is that the DNC is really comprised of several camps vying for power. This operation was planned and executed by the the far left camp, which is part and parcel of the Kerry campaign. I dont think the Clintons themsleves were behind this. The lawyer Van os figures centrally in this, perhaps he was the conduit from the Kerry campaign to the dem operatives in Texas. Mapes, Rathers daughter, and probably Rather himself are in all the same Texas far left cabal.
"I say again, we could get a real war going here by sending here lots of emails saying that we believe CBS is throwing her in front of the train because she's just a girl."
LOL I like the way you think!!!!!
Not that it matters, but Mapes is from a little town in Washington state. (I'm not even sure why I'm pointing this out.)
>>>>"Mary Mapes has always been a first-class producer with an impressive body of work," said Jeff Fager, . . . "I hope we all find out soon how this could have gone so horribly wrong."
I hear OJ is still looking for the real killer too.

CBS doesn't have a political agenda. Noooo! It's merely following the DNC script.
at least wait until after her verdict
Didnt know that, but I thought she had relocated also to Texas. Hell, hasnt she been working this story down there for 4-5 years?
I haven't been able to keep up on the AF Manuals aspect of this can of worms, but if what you say is true, this looks like an important smoking gun. Have you sent Drudge a note about it? Surprisingly, I fired off an email to AP about some error like this, and I must not have been alone - two days later there was a correction. They may be interested in getting it right.
I suspect she's already feeling the verdict in the pit of her stomach.
So Mapes violated ethical standards of journalism when she called the Kerry campaign. She violated "OBVIOUS" ethical standards. And she knew she was violating the standards.
It is therefore within the realm of possibility, since she knowingly violated the standards once when she called the Kerry campaign, that she would violate them further by colluding in an even more egregious and in depth way with the Kerry campaign on a story about Bush because she is a liberal and she WANTED to damage him. There is no proof of a deeper collusion but it is not unreasonable to expect Mapes to be fired because her credibility is destroyed.
Collusion!
Post #29 BTTT !!.....(good find !!)
Not sure I've seen this spelled out anywhere, but timeline sounds like Lockhart called after Burkett talked to Mapes, and before he gave her the four documents. Burkett insisted that contact with the campaign was a condition of handing over the docs. Is this timing is right, it's much more agency than co-ordination.
"A CBS producer who has refused to turn over transcripts of a videotaped interview with a defendant in the Texas dragging death case is free this weekend after posting a $2,000 bond, said a CBS spokeswoman.
The transcripts are of an interview CBS conducted with Shawn Allen Berry, the third of three defendants to be tried in the death of James Byrd Jr., who was dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas, on June 7, 1998.
CBS producer Mary Mapes, who lives in Texas and produced the interview with Berry, was ordered to hand over the videotapes Tuesday. Mapes said she did not have the tapes, and a Texas judge then issued a subpeona for CBS in New York to hand over the tapes. The judge also instructed Mapes to present herself at the prison on Friday, where, if she did not hand... "
You know what they say about a 'scorned woman'. Look for her to take others down with her.
