RATHER STAYS HOME; EXECUTIVES SPLIT; MOONVES LOOKS TOWARDS FUTURE

RATHER STAYS HOME; EXECUTIVES SPLIT; MOONVES LOOKS TOWARDS FUTURE

*Exclusive**

CBSNEWS veteran Don Hewitt called Dan Rather's disappearance from Monday's Evening News "really stupid" during a damage control meeting on Monday, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

One top source inside the CBS Broadcast Center claimed Rather was told to stay off the air on Monday, as a form of punishment!

Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer was called in to anchor the damaged ship.

CBS staffers were shocked Monday when CBS president Les Moonves suddenly tied Rather's upcoming resignation to the phony document flap, a departure from CBS's official storyline.

Moonves explained in a memo: "Dan Rather has already apologized for the segment and taken responsibility for his part in the broadcast. He voluntarily moved to set a date to step down from the CBS EVENING NEWS in March of 2005... after examining the report and thinking about its implications, we believe any further action would not be appropriate."

I thought it was funny myself. For a journalist who considers himself a renegade, and one who doesn't back down from criticism, he showed his cowardly yellow stripe by ducking out at the last minute.

"I DO want an apology..for the President."

A full apology that takes up just as many primtime minutes as the slander did. And not just to Bush, but to his family, naming each and every one of them and apologizing to them all.

Then he can retire in well-erned disgrace.

"Hanity today was right on in that the report totally ignored the political bias aspect and focused on sloppy journalism."

I think we all knew from the start that this "blue ribbon committee" was going to cop to a lesser plea for Danny. The only thing that was "sloppy" were those pathetic forgeries.

When people say the Swift Boat Vets are liars, what do people say in response?

I rarely see her, but was watching the next morning after we won the election. She was almost comatose. Black clothing.......droopy face. It was disgusting.

Katey Caustic - IMHO she is every bit as much a snake as Dan Rather - meebe just a little bit more venom in her sleazy slimey bite.

I wish I knew where to find that video clip - it was way back when Bush 41 was in office. It was priceless. Maybe some enterprising Freeper might be able to dig it up - I'm not that savvy with that sort of stuff.

Now would be a PERFECT time to FREEP the C-B$ studio where Dan will be broadcasting today.

C-B$ wouldn't carry it, but I betcha other media would.

:~)

I still think he lied about Watergate.

I do too. It makes me see 'red' when one of these blankety-blanks call the Swiftees liars, among other things...
