GOV. Pataki's son Teddy might become a U.S. Marine. The 22-year-old senior at Yale, where he is majoring in the classics and is president of Zeta Psi, went through Officer Candidate School in Virginia over the summer. "It's tough. Not everybody makes it," said one insider. Teddy, who was named after Pataki's hero, Teddy Roosevelt, has the option of joining the Marines as an officer when he graduates from Yale. "He hasn't made a decision yet," said a spokeswoman for the governor. If he does accept a commission, he'd likely be sent to Iraq. (PageSix)
Who are you, and what have you done with the real Andy Rooney?
CBS curmudgeon Andy Rooney indicated yesterday he believes the controversial documents on President Bush's National Guard service are fake and said it could cost Dan Rather down the road.

My day started off great. I went walking with a Liberal friend and we usually don't discuss politics-if we do, it is because SHE brings the subject up...But today she asked me what I thought of Rathergate and boy did I cut loose, the crux of my response being that I think Rather has Alzheimer's or senility based on his recent statement that he wants to be the one to break the story of the forgeries if there any. She laughed and agreed with me and then, out the blue, she said, I am not voting for Kerry. I do not like that man. I said, why?, because he is so ugly? and she actually said she does not trust him to handle Iraq and also she thinks he has no personality and just wants to be president to well, be president!
