Here ya go:
Hearings are a bad idea, imho.
If hearings are held about the news-gathering process at CBS, they will all stonewall, claiming journalists' privilege. Suddenly they will go from being bad guys to being heroes.
Better to let this scandal play out in the media. Everything will be revealed, I believe, and for Rather there's no way out: any day now, someone's going to leave him alone in his office with a revolver and a shot of whiskey.
Hearings are coming.
Rather is toast.
Kerry is toast.
And as the blogstorm rages, America is waking up to the idea that "Freedom of the Press" is now residing on the Internet!
