Letterman needs your help with TOP TEN list for CBS-Rather fiasco
Late Show with David Letterman ^ | 9/12/2004 | Vanity

Posted on 09/12/2004 8:29:12 PM PDT by Xcoastie

Topic: TOP TEN ways you can tell CBS & Dan Rather have lost their collective marbles.

10. They have new proof the Ten Commandments were forgeries.

9. The latest 'morale boosting' poll in their restroom shows Kerry leading in Zimbabwe 4 to 1.

8. Their reporting mantra is 'It may not be news but its new to you."

7. They practice journalistic integrity with a microsoft spell checker.

6. They have decided to elect Kerry for America.

5. They can detect a 'dimpled chad', but they can't detect 8 1/2" by 11" lies.

4. They have "protected sources" working in their front office.

3. They think the Black Eye is a good symbol for their network.

2. They think their ratings are just hurting from lower unemployment numbers.

1. They don't know why, but everyone else is always wrong!

Heh. From Laguna Beach, via the home office in Fresno...I strongly suspect that's one Top Ten that will never see the light of the Ed Sullivan Theater.

The documents must be authentic, because Kerry said he obtained them on one of his "Secret CIA Christmas Missions" to Cambodia.

I think the one about a black eye being a good symbol for CBS should have been number one.
