Kelley Wright just reported that CBS is expected to make a statement this morning regarding the documents!
"We at CBS have just seen the Doctor's report confirming that Dan Rather has alzheimers."
I'm sure that Kerry has friends on Old Europe, who could host a hoaxer in their currently vacant ski chalet. Or perhaps Teresa has a friend in Mozambique who has a room to spare?
Ahhhh... you can have a good life, even while you're on the lam.
Thanks!
Rather may be on the verge of a serious breakdown. I half expect him to blow his head off on live TV like that guy in PA.
Thanks!
Instapundit is a great source for finding creative expression on the blogosphere.
My two cents: They're going to say they're sticking with their report, come hell or high water, and this is the last they're going to say a word about it. Case closed.
Pirhanas in Pajamas.
yep like in...what was that movie...."Network"?
wow, art imitating life imitating art
LOL!
...and this is the last they're going to say a MS Word about it. ;o)
You're probably right. I hope that kind of statement further fuels the other media to sink their teeth in further.
Pretty catchy ... need about 200 FReepers with signs circling "Black Rock" in Manhattan chanting this little ditty in the background as CBS makes their much anticipated mea culpa.
When Rather got mugged in the 80's, the mugger kept saying, "What's the frequency, Kenneth."
He turned out to be some schizo who thought the MSM was beaming the voices into his head. By the time they figured out who the mugger was, he was already in prison for killing a TV news worker.
Perhaps he's Rather's unimpeachable source...
I think they will say they are starting an exhaustive internal investigation and the results will not be available for quite some time. In the interim there will be no further comment in order to protect the integrity of the investigation.
I'll raise you a thirty.
You could be right (sticking to their story) but it's very hard to understand how they can justify it. Too many of the other rats (elite mainstream media) have jumped ship for them to hang on. On the other hand they may be forced to not fess up. To do so would be to admit their biases and that is not likely.
You are thinking that CBS is going to act in a rational way. They aren't.
They can stick to the story, even faced with overwhelming evidence. "We know things that you don't, the story is true, we stand by it, and we aren't going to divulge any information about our additional research, or about our sources."
What 'cha gonna do?
"...According to a CBS News producer operating out of the network's 57th Street facilities, Rather and his supporters now believe the controversy surrounding the four discredited Texas National Guard memos has been engineered by the Bush campaign. ..."

"It's not the nature of the evidence, but the seriousness of the charge. Bush needs to answer the charges now."
The charges are not serious. That's what's bizarre about this. They are making something out of nothing and hoping the public is too stupid to understand.
All this is about is trumping up charges and putting the target under suspicion and on the defensive. It has nothing to do with truth and nothing to do with 'seriousness'.
