Dan's attempt to smear the President with forged documents backfired big-time, that's why the big liberals down at CBS are so "distressed."

[Eighth Square]

Dan Rather has damaged his beloved Democrats beyond repair, another nail in the liberal coffin. He was a buffoon in Vietnam and Afghanistan and he is a buffoon today. Park it Dan, just go home.

"I'm confused by some of what I've heard today," he offered, before insisting that if Rather's documents were indeed forged, it was an innocent mistake. "You're dealing with genuine professionals. The last thing in the world that any of these people would want is to phony something," he told the Times.

If they think that I think they're the paragons of pristine honesty and integrity, then they are ignorant. O'Reilly gave that same crapola last night.

If he "was looking out for us" then why don't I call him daddy? We don't need Papa Doc, we got us Papa Bill.

There are others who do their job and do it far better. They are MAKING THEMSELVES obsolete.

If it was an "innocent mistake" .. one would think a Journalist would want to correct the record

[tbpiper]

You're dealing with genuine professionals.

In a manner like unto 'ladies of the evening'.

Hey Dano-saur, What did you know and when did you know it??

Dan really put himself on the line and I can't imagine him knowingly defending something he knew not to be the case."

I can!

[P-Marlowe]

These idiots thought that because they were able to fool one handwriting expert with questionable credentials that they could fool the world.

I'm beginning to think that someone at CBS created the forged documents to support the story they've been working on for the last two years. If the docs had come from an "unimpeachable source" as CBS contends, then why the need to hire a document expert before they released them? My suspicion is that they hired a document expert to see if they could fool him. After they got assurances that they had fooled their "expert" they ran with the story thinking they could fool everyone.

Hey CBS, prove me wrong!

[The Last Front]

Sort of reminds me of the movie, "Guide for the Married Man" when Robert Morse is teaching the virtuous Walter Matthau the art of the adulterous husband. "Even when caught red handed, Deny, Deny, Deny.

[Let's Roll]

IF Captain Dan was not in on the manufacturing of the documents, he should be feverishly ferreting out who it is that has destroyed his career instead of pretending the emperor is still sporting a designer wardrobe.

I think this story was part of a much larger attempt to discredit Bush. The sugar coating memo was a feint. The real purpose was to raise questions about why he missed the physical. Kitty's book coming out, immediately following that story, was meant to plant a seed that Bush missed the physical because of drug use. The rest of the campaign would be spent answering questions about drug use while in the guard. Talk about smear tactics and dirty tricks; if you connect the dots this was an organized attempt to smear Bush in the worst way. Kudos to the bloggers who blew it apart before they could take it to the next level.

Professional Political whores.

There is no shortage of tall buildings in NY (hint, hint).

[PMCarey]

Ah the richness the irony. Perhaps someone should tell Dan that "there is a cancer on CBS news" ...

"You're dealing with genuine professionals. The last thing in the world that any of these people would want is to phony something," he told the Times.

No, we're dealing with genuine liberals and the last thing in the world these genuine liberals want in Bush re-elected. They have their priorities, you know.

Bush will be re-elected in Nove and shortly after that, I believe, is when we'll see Ra^ther scoot on out.

-"Another CBS source said there was increasing nervousness over the star anchorman's decision to stonewall on an independent investigation into his dubious Guard report."

Sounds like there might be some people at CBS that may not want to 'go down with the ship'!

[nmh]

Dan's hatred of Bush drove him to the edge of the cliff.

[Guna]

Has "America's Most Trusted Journalist", Walter Cronkite issued a statement about this? It would seem a natural to hear him defend his boy, Dan...

[Lijahsbubbe]

I can't imagine him knowingly defending something he knew not to be the case."

Why not? Rather himself said that he believes that a person can be a liar and still be an honest person.
