I am willing to bet $50 bucks right now that Blather-boy is going to announce his retirement for "health reasons" or some similar excuse within the next 48 hours.

Any takers?

[bootless]

No takers. Wasn't there something about him campaigning for Kerry part-time, or was someone funning us?

[Publius6961]

you could make lots of money, dude.
It's worth $50 just to hope it will happen.

[Winfield]

Tom Harkins rushed to the media.......and made a fool out of himself again. What is wrong with those people out there that they keep re-electing this embarrassment to the U.S. Senate!!!??

[hershey]

Courage.

[NewLand]

I will take that bet.

Sadly, I will win, without question.

If you lose, you will contribute $50 to FR.

If I lose, meaning Dan Rather gets fired/resigns/retires by Sunday, I will contribute $100 to FR, or you, or GWB, or the organization of your choice.

Do we have a bet?

[patriciaruth]

Bet. $50 to Free Republic paid by the loser.

Rather resigns by late Saturday evening or you pay $50 to FR.

I'll be happy to pay FR $50 if Rather resigns. Win-Win for me.

You on?

[printhead]

before I bite, Jim McGeevey isn't leaving. Why would Dan Rather-not?

How about this?

If Blather resigns within a week, we all send SOMETHING- as much as we can afford-- to Swifties fund for more ads?
That helps all of the nation, and the "winners" of your bet do a really good thing......

My Gawd, Kenneth!! Do you hear the rumblings of the torch-bearing villagers? If you know the frequency you had better tell Dan soon!

I bet there will be a mea culpa by this time next week. CBS will give it time to go away, but there is little chance of that. They will then claim they were "duped." They already have claimed they used "due diligence" in vetting the documents, but will not give the names of the so-called experts. When they use those terms, it shows that they are already hunkering down for the long haul.
