I try to be fair-minded. I try not to reach snap judgments. I try to "see the other side." I try not to overstate. But in this post, I will express opinions that are as blunt and as strongly felt as any I've ever stated in my life. Nothing in this post is sarcasm or snark. This is as serious as a heart attack and it's no longer funny to me, but a national disgrace and a national tragedy.
On Thursday, September 9th, I wrote a post entitled, "Burden now on CBS to authenticate its documents lest it become a co-conspirator in fraud."
In hindsight, I was clearly wrong.
I gave CBS News and Dan Rather the benefit of the doubt the presumption that they did not know the Killian memos were forgeries when they ran their hit piece on "60 Minutes II" on the previous evening. I argued that because of the doubts immediately raised about the authenticity of the memos, CBS ran the risk of becoming a co-conspirator in the fraud perpetrated by whoever forged them.
But Dan Rather and CBS News were co-conspirators from the start. ABC News has revealed that two of the experts whom CBS News consulted before running the broadcast Emily Will from North Carolina and Linda James of Plano, Texas could not and would not authenticate the fraudulent Killian memos, and expressly told CBS that.

Yep, I'll bet that puke is sorry he ever utter "pajamas"!
Here is a copyright-ready cartoon for any use that's noncommercial... emails, signs, flyers, whatever
and now Chris Cox wants an investigation into rathergate.
lol, those Lamb Chop slippers are a fine touch!
It also appears Dan Rather has a Christmas in Cambodia problem.
Bush was already in the Guard in 1968.
Ben Barnes didn't become Lt. Governor until 1969.
Too bad Rather didn't even Google Ben Barnes's statements for accuracy.
To set up each of the "experts"...in this method that they used...leads only to one conclusion...they wanted "experts" to lead in their direction. Because of this action...its a fraud, period. You can't call CBS news actually news...its more of a CBS news fraud. Once you admit that...and the sponsors figure that out...things get to be tough to find advertising...and pay for the high priced folks on the network news team. Dan may simply have to go...in order to meet their payroll in November. I can't see much else to hope for.
Brilliant, Linda. Love the MIB reference!
:-D
By chance, do you have a photo of Blather interviewing Sadaam to post along with this? Or any other dictator?
What other thugs has this meathead sympathized, er, I mean - interviewed in the past?
It'd be interesting to get/compile a list of every interview ol' Danny boy did with anti-American a**holes...
The unnecessary apostrophe in "American's" proves that this post was written after the schools went to pot.
Superb Pics!
I'm writing this from an internet station in the hotel lobby here in beautiful San Diego.
Gotta go get dressed for the dinner cruise.
Life is good.
