Pretty good summary I have to say.I thought so, too, though you can't please everyone (#10).

While I do not believe that Rather conspired with the DNC, it is certainly possible that his producer, Mary Mapes, did.

Forums like FR and certain bloggers are the reason the left is so keen for the UN to take control of the internet away from the US. The UN claims it's necessary to control the flow of information...to protect the children, of course.

I found the article more than satisfactory, and your criticisms juvenile and false, but hey, I posted an e-mail link to the man. Tell him what you think. He's been known to respond to his hate mail.

Today at church we studied Ecclesiastes 9. Starting with verse 14 and going thru verse 17. I am quoting the New King James Version of Bible.
There was a little city with few men in it: and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it.
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man.
The I said "Wisdom is better than strength.
Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.
Words of the wise, spoken quietly, shoud be heard
Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools.
-------------------
Rather is the king of the fools in my opinion, and Buckhead is the wise man. Greater is wisdom that the shouts of the ruler of fools. Amen...

How does that Nicky Stixx manage to do it week after week? His string is longer than Joe Dimaggio's.

I think the more would have to include Martha Mapes, who had been pursuing this story for 5 years, who also broke the "Abu Ghraib" story, and who almost went to jail in re the Byrd dragging case (if it weren't for her professionalism and objectivity, there's no telling what nonsense she might report)

BALLAD OF DAN RATHER
(Think "Beverly Hillbillies" theme song)
Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
The documents were fake and he didn't give a dam*;
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 a$$;
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?
