I seems like Dan's ears have grown even bigger since the "memo gate." I call him "Dumbo Blather."

LOL, the whole thing is rather Monty Pythonesque, complete with a dead parrot, upper class twits, a Doug Dinsdale or two, etc.

The problem with the dimocRATS is that their brains are so small, you could put them in an ants a$$ and they would still roll around like a bebe in a boxcart. I am really enjoying watching the demise of the MSM.

Fake and Accurate are about as far apart as Good and Evil.

Opposites, just like Dan Rather and the truth.

That's what I think is so great about this, Carolina. We . . . us . . . us uneducated, pajama-clad yokels are the baddest men and women on the political planet!

Although the patient died, the operation was a success.

Bernie Goldberg summed it up best and didn't waste one word. Biased, and Arrogant. He wrote a book about each, and they are 100% true and accurate. Gunga Dan is the posterboy.

It's one of those multi-step processes:

1. "Unimpeachable"

2. "I know that this story is true."

3. We still think the story is true.

4. The story might yet be true.

5. We're still hoping the story is true.

6. We here at CBS want this story to be true.

7. Who really knows what "truth" means anyway.

Let's ask Dan Rather to take "Fake, but Accurate" documents to:

The Department of Motor Vehicles
The IRS
Probate Court
A Real Estate closing
An Airline Ticket Counter
Passport Control

Unfortunately, he could take fake, and inaccurate documents and get registered to vote.

Somewhere out there someone.....

is working really hard with a very old typewriter, some very old paper and a really skilled hand writing forger to come up with documents that can pass the smell test...I really believe this, otherwise Dan R. would have broken the story, as he said he would do, and 'fessed up that the docs he presented are fake. He is still going to come up with....better fakes. Mrs PD
