Duped Dan
Now when he was a young man, he never thought he’d be
Spouting all his bs on national TV
Duped Dan
His eyeballs never blink
Duped Dan
His politics are pink
Born in little Iowa
Ruined CBS Eye’a
Duped Dan

Duped Dan
Now if I’d known that Danny boy would flop
I’d tape me all his newcasts and throw them down the block
Duped Dan
He’s the man, that Dan
Duped Dan
In Afghanistan
Argued with George Bushie
Sits upon his tushie
Duped Dan

Duped Dan
He spoke a Dem fundraisers, then said it was his bad
Just couldn’t understand why folks like me was mad
Duped Dan
Playing with some honey
Duped Dan
Raising dems some money
He makes up his stories
To increase out worries
Duped Dan

Duped Dan
Now one fine day he got hisself some memos
Made up one real big story and showed it with some bozos
Duped Dan
He tried to swing the election
Duped Dan
Got kicked in the midsection
Now he’s in big trouble
Looking for a double
Duped Dan

Duped Dan
The bloggers in pajamas, now they ain’t so dern dumb
They know that old Dan Rather’s duping days are done
Duped Dan
Traded with dem spies
Duped Dan
Can you say “bye bye”
Only resignation
Can save the station
Duped Dan

Even within CBS News, Mapes' call to Lockhart is seen by many as one of the most damaging disclosures of the scandal, because it makes the news org even more vulnerable to Republican attack.

Read that again. They are saying that the call is the most damaging because it provides ammunition to Republicans. Man, these folks are even trying to keep up the appearance of objectivity anymore.

THE DOCUMENT ISSUE IS DEALT WITH, FINISH THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR dnCBS... THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE IN THE PRESS EVERYWHERE AND IT WILL FINISH dnCBS

The other issues expose HOW THE MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACTUALLY WORKS! CBS' "gold standard" included:

1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. Staudt, who had his character attacked in one memo, was never contacted
6. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
7. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
8. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...

And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!

"Andrew Heyward and others worked to appoint members to an independent review panel that will dissect the circumstances leading to the decision to air documents pertaining to President Bush "

Let's see, Jamie Gorelick, Bob Kerrey, Richard Ben-Veniste, etc.

Burkett extracted the promise that Mapes would contact the Kerry campaign during their meetings

Mapes is obviously guilty - she can't claim ignorance of Burkett's bias if he is demanding to talk to the Kerry campaign - this show of bias was a giant red flag that only someone with blatant political motives would ignore. Her firing will be the minimum required for CBS to ride this out.

"...appoint members to an independent review panel..." Would someone please explain how C-onstant B-S can appoint a non-partisan, non-biased review panel to review themselves??? Fox guarding the hen house alert!!!
