Dan has been play-acting at being a reporter for so many years now the suspenders, the loosened tie, and all the other stuff that would look great if he were auditioning for a cheesy dinner-theatre revival of "The Front Page"; the over-the-top intros: "Bob Schieffer, one of the best hard-nosed reporters in the business has been working his sources. What have you managed to uncover for us, Bob?," after which Bob reads out a Democratic National Committee press release. Dan has been doing all this so long he doesn't seem to realize the news isn't just a show.

Maybe she is going to break the story that documents are fakes.

Mary Mapes, a producer for CBS is seen in this 1999 file photo, in Jasper, Texas. Mapes was the producer on CBS's Dan Rather's report on '60 Minutes' questioning President Bush (news - web sites)'s National Guard service. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip, File) |
People like Mapes and Rather probably have "the goods" on SeeBS as a whole.......CBS may have MORE to lose by 86ing them.
Dan already called dibs on that story.
Really.
Just can't let it go can they/he.
She's got a sort of "deer-in-the-headlights" thing going on in that photo.
How very appropriate.
Rather -- "If the documents are not what we were led to believe, I'd like to break that story."
You know it sure seems odd how ABC, The NYTimes and AP have been coming out saying she is a die hard liberal. Even more odd is how Lockhart sez "Some producer called me..." like he doesn't know who she is.
Yowza...
Planet of the Mapes...
The Shadout Mapes from Dune shows her loyalty.....Is Mary Mapes as well?......
Well I'm not puzzled at all.
Remember, Dan Rather is the boss and he believes both that the story behind the documents is true and, incredibly, that the documents are not forgeries - they just can't be validated. With this mentality at the top what else could you expect from CBS News?
Oink oink
Probably looking for someone else to pin it on. McAwful is already trying to make it look like Rove did it. Maybe Mapes is creating new documents to prove it? ;)
Let's see, the two people who are still aqgressively working the memo/guard storyline are:
Mapes At CBS and Terrible Terry at the DNC. Connection anyone?
Give that dope Rather one of Drudge's old fedoras to complete his outfit, and give Mapes a chance to go to work for the DNC - - FULL-time. These people are not journalists.
She is hot on the trail of the real killers.
Maybe the entire see-BS news crew can be sent over to the Sundance channel. They are always looking for some wacko to pedal their leftist drivel.
