Five weeks before the election, Tuesday's CBS Evening News attempted to legitimize baseless Internet rumors that President Bush secretly plans to revive the draft. Reporter Richard Schlesinger focused his piece around how one mother "is petrified about a military draft, and she's not alone. Mass e-mails are circulating among worried parents," as if the political spam had any merit. Instead of trying to allay the woman's fears with facts, Schlesinger instead asked: "Would you vote for a Democrat?" She replied: "Absolutely. I would vote for Howdy Doody if I thought it would keep my boys home and safe."
Just saw on FOXNEWS. Credited bloggers with outing Rather. Implied CBS was too stupid to google.
No. They are in panic mode trying to get Kerry's numbers back up.
But the draft isn't happening no matter how much the Democrats want it.
You're a day late and a dollar short or the other way around.
