Good lord. She does put the U back in ugly. No wonder we exported her butt out of state.

"Rather spoke at a fundraiser in Travis County(Austin)...Abilene is near Bill Burkett's home in Baird"
And your point is...?
I don't think people quite realize how big Texas is. Travis County (Austin) is a hell of a long way from Baird in Callahan County or Abilene in Taylor County (approximately 228 miles or 51/2 hours by car.
While the distance isn't unusual for Texans to cover, I don't see the significance.

Accuracy isn't important?..It was not meant as critical to the story, but only as a correction to the site of the Rather fundraiser..

Sorry. but the post wasn't clear that this was a reply to another post or a criticism of the comments in the story. It simply looked like a stand alone comment and I didn't see the point.

Actually, it's pretty common for such ideologues to be less concerned with those sorts of things than in promoting their own brand of hate. These are the kind of diehards who are still shouting "Sieg Heil!" as their convictions are announced at Nuremburg.

People with a great deal to lose, frequently do seemingly stupid things' the Enron executives, Martha Stewart, Leona Helmsley, for example.
It is because at some point they decided they do not have to follow the rules like everyone else. When they get caught, it can be over something trival.
I wonder what other stories Rather has "fudged' on? "The Wall Within" was debunked and that was years ago.

"CBS agreed to post the transcript of the interview on its web site and provide a copy of the transcript to Jasper county officials. In return Mapes would not go to jail and the tapes would not need to be provided." - circa 1999![](http://www.bestanimations.com/Flags/USA/USA-09.gif)
OK, I'll bite. What is Ms. Mapes still hiding in those tapes?

He said, "I'm really ashamed of what my daughter has become. She's a typical liberal. She went into journalism with an ax to grind, and that was to promote radical feminism." That Mapes was working on this story for five years is a farce. Killian's son and wife were only contacted two weeks before the story broke. I'd like to shine a bright light on Mapes.

. He's been crooked for decades.
Look at his face at rest. It has deep dread and guilt written all over it! He's probably going to have to pay in the next life.
I wonder how many people have been framed on that show in the years they have had a show?

I perceive that I have offended your sense of appropriate posting. I simply corrected a mistake in the site of the fundraiser and it seems to have interrupted your focus on the main story...I'm sorry to have distracted you..

The problem is a good investigative journalist should operate like a detective looking for the truth no mater where it leads and what it proves
These leftist journalist operate like lawyers, an advocated for a side, twisting the truth to best make the case they want to prove
One goes where ever the truth is by what ever the facts are
The other one shapes there "facts" to best fit there all ready decided "truth"

To: abclily
The use of drugs arrests the development of intellect.Not really true always. When I got out of college, and back from my military duty, I used marijuana and some LSD for a while. It stimulated my curiosity for learning in many directions. I read and learned much about philosophy, anthropology, history, etc. Will Durant, the philosopher and historiasn, became my greatest interest. It really was a positive for me and many of my friends.
Perhaps one of the keys to successful drug use and not drug abuse is the age, background, and maturity of the person taking the drug.
Your statement is an over simplification, but I understand your sentiment.

I wonder what other stories Rather has "fudged' on?He as overly colored everything to the left on the news for decades. He's a lefty liar, and he's going down.
He will be remembered by the great majority of America and the world as a pompous, biased, lying fool. Good! Just what the scumball deserves! His righteous tone of voice which he continually uses is sickening.

Rather presented the case as a prosecutor...and the burden of proof is on him...The defense was started on FR..spread through bloggers, questioning the validity of the evidence. Now licensed document examiners, reporters, main stream media and of course people who worked with Killian have said the evidence is fabricated..
Jury is in..Rather is guilty of prosecutorial misconduct.His investigators are exposed as frauds, his documents are frauds...Mapes is toast.
