This real-life Ron Burgundy just won't go away.

Mapes was the producer of the CBS 60 Minutes II segment on President Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard that aired on September 8, 2004. According to the segment, President Bush had received preferential treatment in being admitted to the Guard, and once in, had served dishonorably. The segment predicated the latter theme on four 1972 and 1973 documents from the “personal file” of Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Killian, then-Lt. Bush’s commanding officer in the Texas Air National Guard. CBS had obtained the documents from a confidential source. In the online version of the story, CBS posted PDF versions of the four documents.

The authenticity of the documents was originally attacked on the website Free Republic by an anonymous poster (since revealed to be Atlanta attorney Harry MacDougald) late on the evening of September 8.

Hooray Buckhead!

This lady never learned that hate is more destructive to the one who hates, than the one who is hated. She ruined her own life because of hate. And the same goes for Dan Blather.

So weird:

He agreed to copy the documents inside, then burn the original papers he had received, which were also copies, not originals. He was also to burn the envelope they had come in. Burkett said that he agreed to this, assuming that Lucy or whoever she was wanted to destroy any DNA evidence that might be gleaned from the papers or the package they had come in.

Now who got his panties all twisted up in 2000?
