BS meter just broke; Dan Rather is a Democratic Party mouthpiece that long ago started working to push the party toward a higher degree of socialism. He'll jump at any chance to attempt to drive election results for the candidate on the left.
His position and bias combine to create demand for balance which has helped hundreds of conservative journalists become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.
The ONLY thing Dan RATher is "shell-shocked" about is that he is caught--he knew they were fraudulent.
