Bernard Goldberg was right. These folks don't think that they are liberals. They THINK they and the dems, are moderates. I somehow don't think Rather knew the memos were forged (although I would love to see the smoking gun that proves me wrong, no love lost there). I think he just believes that President Bush is so obviously worthy of defeat and that the memos were evidence of that and HAD to be genuine.
As is so often the case, Rather could have avoided much of this mess by coming clean when he learned of the forgeries and disclosing the source. THAT may be the smoking gun-- a DNC source.
In any event, good riddance to old rubbish... bye Dan.
I tend to agree that Defraudin' Dan did not originally know they were fakes. However, he so wanted them to be true that he didn't properly vet them. He could have recovered from that mistake...last week. Stubbornly defending obvious forgeries is his doom. Didn't he learn anything from Nixon? The coverup is worse than the crime.
My prediction? Defraudin' Dan will go away much sooner than spring. And he will go away because he will not reveal the source of the forged documents. And he won't give up the source because it is his daughter.
