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.

[hispanarepublicana]

People like Mapes and Rather probably have "the goods" on SeeBS as a whole.......CBS may have MORE to lose by 86ing them.

[Lancer_N3502A]

Just can't let it go can they/he.

Planet of the Mapes...

[Red Badger]

The Shadout Mapes from Dune shows her loyalty.....Is Mary Mapes as well?......

[InterceptPoint]

"CBS News staffers say they're puzzled why Mapes is still apparently actively working on the memos story," reports USA Today in Wednesday editions.

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?

[MizSterious]

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? ;)

[rod1]

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?

[Just mythoughts]

They have no other way to respond to the Swift Boats Vets, this story is needed to be kept alive no matter what, else somebody might ask JFKerry what the .ell were you doing in Paris cavorting with the enemy.

[js1138]

She is hot on the trail of the real killers.

[snooker]

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.

Stay out of Ft Marcy Park, ms. mapes...

THE DOCUMENT ISSUE IS DEALT WITH, FINISH THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR dnCBS... THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE IN THE PRESS EVERYWHERE AND IT WILL FINISH dnCBS

The other issues expose HOW THE MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACTUALLY WORKS! CBS' "gold standard" included:

1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. Staudt, who had his character attacked in one memo, was never contacted
6. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
7. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
8. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...

And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!

[BigCinBigD]

Insane.

[kellynla]

I friggin' love it!
I hope SeeBS keeps Blather and Mapes...
What better icon of the lying liberal MSM than Blather...

Nixon and Reagan must be sitting up in heaven with their boxes of popcorn really enjoying this! LOL

[rushmom]

Mapes and Rather have no credibility anymore. Do they not realize this?

[Pharmboy]

Get her on medication...this woman is seriously impaired.

I'm sure the "guard" story was supposed to be a one-two punch for CBS. The follow-up bunch of "documents" are probably fakes too, but they would've be rougher stuff. We might never see them now. The real folks behind the forgeries are getting cold feet.

If CBS thinks more forgeries will trump trying to push the original forgeries on the American people, they're idiots. In fact, whatever they come up with now will look like mean spirited. They're in a hole, it's time to stop digging.

It's time for resignations, apologies, and a token conservative on staff. Only then will the healing process will begin...

[DestroytheDemocrats]

She's still there because they want her to find other genuine evidence that the story is true. If she can pull it off then she will have trashed Bush successfully, proved that their original assertion that the docs were fake but the story was true was justifiable and aim the story back at Bush and away from CBS.
