Mr. Burkett has, in the past, simply made up stories about President Bush and about me. He has claimed that he overheard me calling for the "sanitizing" of George Bush's Guard records. I can assure you that I never told anyone to cleanse Mr. Bush's records. My parents taught me early on that credibility and integrity are not to be compromised. I learned that lesson well.

It's curious to me that CBS News appears to be more concerned about its own credibility with its viewers than in correcting the wrongs it has done. Simply put, CBS has a responsibility to verify the facts of a story before it is broadcast, not two weeks after it is questioned.

This whole affair reminds me of the kid whose mother accuses him of sneaking cookies before dinner. He insists he's innocent and puts up a bold defense until she hands him a mirror and points out the crumbs on his cheeks. Even then, he only says he's sorry he got caught.

Now that these accusations have been proven false, once again, hopefully we as Americans can come to appreciate the great loyalty and dedication of President Bush.

I truly believe Dan Rather would rather spend the rest of his life in prison than personally apologize to George Bush. He hates him that much.

CBS should rub the crumbs off their cheeks, and go to their room.

If CBS wants to restore its credibility it needs to go one step further. The network and its anchorman need to recognize the harm created by its sloppy journalism and its arrogant stonewalling and apologize publicly and directly to Mr. Bush.

He should apologize to the President! But he won't. If he did apologize to the President, Rather knows Bush would win in a landslide. It would mean that much all over America, as the sluggish stench of an election fix by the DNC/CBS would spread all over the country. If Rather apologizes to G.W., I'll kiss Barbra Streisand's feet.

Nah!

From my email

(Sung to the tune from the Beverly Hillbillies)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
The documents were fake and he didn't give a damn;
He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job,
But up from the web come a howlin' mob.

Blogs, that is.
Web logs.
Checkin' facts.

Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast;
Made a false report an' it bit him in the ass;
He said 'dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!'
But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.

Busted, that is.
Red-faced.
Mud in the eye.

Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men;
And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' them in;
You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News,
And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.

Y'all come back, now, hear?

RatherBiased & CBS crew certainly DO owe the President an apology. And they must NOT be allowed anywhere near the debates.
