Dear CBS:
This article is a joke, right? You surely don't think that you can find a better liar than Dan Rather for a CBS "News" show, do you?
With Rather, you had the pinnacle of liars, the most practiced, that slimiest liar ever to grace the television screen, possibly in this century (and the last).
OK, he was a little stupid, what with that lying in the face of a ton of evidence, but that only endeared him to his many fans and gave him a little extra patina. (I'm not quite sure what that means, perhaps that he was getting a bit moldy as his many lies were exposed.)
Attempting to top that would only result in disappointment and angst among your left-wing colleagues.
Just a suggestion: Musical Comedies.
Viacom may be trying to manuever their smug anchor on Comdedy Central (Jon Stewart) into the SeeBS studio.
His face was ALL OVER the place in the waning days of the 2004 election (cover of Rolling Stone and other magazines, a new book). He even was the "liberal" guest on some news talk shows.
It is a shift but as with Michael Moore, he would not have to be historically accurate. All he would have to claim is that he was being satirical if he is caught in a lie.
