You ask a far reaching question. How or why would Rather, who has been 'journalizing' on the margins for decades, get caught in such a blatantly sloppy forgery?

This story is making me think about Sandy Buger and his absurd robbery of the National Archives. I can see Burger committing proffessional suicide for someone, but Rather? I can't make any sense of it.

If anything, it could easily be attributed to the loss of sanity the left has been experiencing the last four years. They have completely lost it and they'll do anything to get rid of President Bush. They are irrational.

Well, I don't know a darn thing about it. But from watching Dan Rather (not much lately)....I think it all goes back to his embarrassment over the last election results. The announcing too early, etc. So, he is determined that President Bush should be defeated this time. That is his agenda. It's not much different than the entire Dim wailing. They still stay Bush didn't really win. So Rather is determined to do his best that Bush doesn't win this time, in a landslide. It's all about his ego, imho. He somehow thinks he is still a respected news journalist. Desperate? Weak? Koolaid?
