Dan was probably so thrilled to have been given what he thought was a damaging piece of information about President Bush that he didn't want to find anything wrong with it.
And now Rather is committing career suicide because he still wants to believe that he got a genuine Bush-smearing "scoop". The old fool is scrunching his eyes real tight and covering his ears as he shakes his head and yells, "I-can't-hear-you-I-can't-hear-you-I-can't-hear-you-I-can't-hear-you...."
The best part is that he is taking CBS and '60 Minutes' down with him - - and they're LETTING him!
Cool by me. Good riddance to bad garbage.
