The White House, of course, said no such thing.
They just let CBS keep digging the hole.

Beldar doesn't bring up the earlier reports that CBS
thought they had an "unimpeachable" source for the
memos.

We've been speculating on what source might match
such a description. However, we need to keep in mind
the blind lust that CBS had to run this fiction.

It now appears that CBS mistook the apparent
acquiescence of the WH as a tacit validation of them.

CBS never had an "unimpeachable" source.
They expected the WH to impeach the documents,
and misread it when the WH rope-a-doped instead.

Now here is one of Dan's
unimpeachable sources.
There isn't one commie, or
brutal dictator Dan wouldn't trust.
But, an American Loving Republican==never!

And like the White House was to expect CBS to actually go with documents that were fraudulant? This is a major problem for CBS and they are in the wrong here. It's over for them in their attempts to smear this President.

CBS deserves all the criticism it is getting.

Why should they expect the White House to bail them out from their shoddy journalism?

The White House saw this FORGED BS and said, "OK, CBS morons, go ahead with your 'blockbuster' revelation."

Rather and CBS have been hoisted on their own petard.

And they deserve it.

I predict Rather will be forced to resign in disgrace; or else he will issue an abject and humiliating apology...

On that Friday, just before the Labor Day weekend, Mapes excitedly phoned her bosses from Texas to report a breakthrough in the document quest. "I've got them," she told Howard.

Got them refers to?:

A. Documents.
B. Republicans.
C. Bush.
D. All of the above
