CBS finds somebody to back them up!
That's it????
That's it?????
Oh, man, she is going to be SO trashed!!!
She's a petty little woman
I know that there are people who served with Bush IN Texas and they will rebut this!
The totality of her comments do not help CBS's cause, but when quoted 'carefully,' CBS will bolster herself.
"Forgeries or recreations?"
WTF is the difference?
She's addlepated, as my Mom would have said.
Godspeed!
The forgeries are now re-creations!
HEY DAN .. WHO GAVE YOU THE DAMN DOCUMENTS!!!
What kind of man drags an 86 year old woman in to a field of political dirt?
Well let's hope MRS. KILLIAN take offense.
They're going to say that W had someone alter the documents to make himself look BETTER than the original documents would have.
Rather says CBS' expert continue to believe the memos are real! WHO? Which experts?
So, Mary Mapes won't have on Killian's wife or son or anyone CBS deems pro-Bush, but they'll have on this woman who obviously has an axe to grind against Bush.
Oh, great! Dan says they will "keep an open mind" about this BS.Cripes !!!
Rather's a shameful SOB.
I'm also guessing she's full of medication!
NEVER QUESTIONED THE HEART OF THEIR STORY??? WTF, AND YES I'M SHOUTING.
We will keep an open mind and will continue to investigate.
This POS reporting is abominable.
NO! the soul of the whole story is that Blather fabrcated a story and got the lies to back it up.
WHERE IS THE FCC!?!
Outrageous!
Simply outrageous!
Rather got somebody to say that the INFORMATION in the fake documents was true.
She's had her time in the limelight!
I wonder why CBS didn't call her BEFORE they put that show on last week?????????
The closing comment from Rather is a lie...there have been plenty of refutations of the 'heart' of the story.
Also, notice the producer's name again: "Mary Mapes."
This is the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed. This makes Baghdad Bob seem like an amateur dissembler.
CBS News has wasted 50 years of good will on Kerry and Rather. They will never recover from this. This is just plain laughable.
Andrew "Bahgdad Bob" Heyward issues statement to the press:
"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."
.
BTW I have established to MY satisfaction that the picture of Andrew Heyward shown above is "accurate" or I would not have posted it here on Free Republic.
