Designated Rathergate fallgal Mary Mapes is still on the job at the network's formerly great news division, despite a deluge of leaks from CBS employees fingering her as the "60 Minutes" producer who dropped the ball in the forged memo story.
"CBS News staffers say they're puzzled why Mapes is still apparently actively working on the memos story," reports USA Today in Wednesday editions.
CBS News spokeswoman Sandy Genelius refused to comment on Mapes continuing work on the memos story, but acknowledged, however, that the "60 Minutes" producer remains on CBS's payroll. The fact that Mapes is still on the job has prompted speculation that she may not be willing to walk the plank - or at least not alone.
And since her key source for the disastrous story, Bill Burkett, was also a longtime source for Dan Rather himself, suspicion continues to swirl that Mapes may have the goods on CBS misconduct that transcends her own role in Rathergate.
The Rathergate fallgal, who's been searching for dirt on President Bush's National Guard record since 1999, has spent all that time working under Rather on "60 Minutes II." She's also been a top producer on the anchorman's "Evening News" broadcasts since 1989.
So that's what she's doing in Dallas.
They're regular genieluses over at See-BS, ain't they?!
She's waiting for the bidding to stop over on ebay for that old typewriter. This fake memo business takes time, you know?
"CBS News spokeswoman Sandy Genelius refused to comment"
I thought some drug company came out with a topical ointment for "Sandy Genelius"?
Are they sure she's not working with O.J. to find the real killers?
