I think we should all go to CBS offices in our jammies and slippers and demand Danny's resignation.

ROTFL!!!!

"CBS says they got them from an "unimpeachable source..."

The only thing that establishes is Slick Willy is off the hook.

RE post 436: It took me almost 3 years to get 350 hours flying time in Strategic Air Command after flying school. Bush was a "weekend warrior". I flew long missions where Lt Bush flew short missions in the F102.

I came real close to getting a flight engineer slot on C-141 or C-130. I had been a crew chief on F-4C and F-4E. Checked into flying with some reserve groups and what I remember was that they did one heck of a lot of flying. Back and forth to Europe 4-5 times a month and not necessarily on the weekends. I couldn't figure out how I'd make a living.

Suppose I should have got a flight instructor rating back then and instructed. Although they told me in 1976 that it would take 4000 hours to get into the airlines and that seemed like forever. So I did computers instead.

Yup, they will be able to rekindle it.

Unfortunately, the rekindling will destroy CBS, not President Bush.

Big tactical mistake expecting the opposition to trash an elderly woman by condemning her recollection.

The focus they are attempting to divert is the ORIGINAL source of the memos and that is what has to be what they are attempting to hide.

I don't think Rather has ever felt what it feels like to wear any kind of uniform

He was in the Army reserve. Then he tried to become a Marine officer, but couldn't hack it, so after 4 months, they showed him the gate.

This is just a stop gap measure to hold them over until that old typewriter they ordered on E-Bay is delivered.

Then they can forge more documents. They've learned from their mistakes. LOL

Do you have any idea how long an F-102 would be airborne in one mission of the TANG? I just imagine it used fuel by the minute rather than by the hour.

Does either he or Burkette have connections to the Kerry campaign? What I'm wanting to know is how likely it is that the Kerry campaign had anything to do with supplying the forged documents to CBS?

we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

Translation:

Sorry. We need more time to come up with better lies to cover up our not so good lies.

***I just heard that CBS has been interviewing the 86 yr old secretary all afternoon. Trying to beat a confession out of her?***

Dare they try the panties on head routine on her?

CBS is making a dysfunctional family look positively normal.

Rather must be having hissy fits over there. This is the death knoll for CBS.

No. That's NOT what everyone has been waiting all day for. Everyone has been waiting for a statement from CBS that at the very least, has changed as events have unfolded. They called attention to the fact they would release info at noon, at five, and at six we are finally entertained with a statement that says nothing.
