Rather Says Will No Longer Address Charges of 'Professional Rumor Mill'
September 12, 2004, 21:39:50 EDT Dan Rather was quoted in the New Zealand Herald as saying that there was no use debating the authenticity of his documents which he claims are proof that George W. Bush committed any number of unethical acts while in the National Guard. "Until someone shows me definitive proof that they are not [authentic], I don't see any reason to carry on a conversation with the professional rumour mill."

So he thinks that if he just dismisses the whole bloody thing it is going to go away?
This ain't yo daddy's news world, Dan. And it certainly isn't yours.

"Until someone shows me definitive proof that they are not [authentic], I don't see any reason to carry on a conversation with the professional rumour mill." Isn't that a little backwards, Dan?
Isn't the burden of proof on you?
Ostentatious moron.

Wow. It's good to know Emperor Dan doesn't have to answer to anyone if he doesn't feel like it.
And, by the way, I'd love to know what 'proof' looks like to Dan. 'Cause it sure looks to me like he's been proven a class-A fool.
To: ricoshea
Until someone proves to me that Dan Rather is a newsman, I will not believe it.

But Dan says :
But before you prove to me that these documents are fake, you must first prove to me , in no uncertain terms, that John Kerry ever hampered our war effort .

So I take it from Rather's posture that the memos are fake.

Dan Rather needs to be Freeped. Does he make any personal appearances anywhere in the near future?

LMAO! (I'll just ignore the facts, maybe they will go away)
What a putz.
We even had a guy with a IBM selectric try reproduce the doc. Guess what? Can't be done. And it took him a considerable amount of time to even come close. Not something Killian, a guy who could barely type, would do to make a "memo" now would it.
To: ricoshea
CBS News IS a professional rumor mill.

Maybe Dan should address his claim that he served two tours in the Marines.
