Rather: Memos Real, Insists to Letterman "Nobody Lied" at CBS (Transcript-RealPlayer)

[Grampa Dave]

Their responses are like true confession time, and they start to have real problems with their relatives and friends who still are luntic liars.

David Horowitz is a prime example of what happens to them when they leave the dark side.

[Grampa Dave]

That interview, his interview with Castro and other interviews with tyranical libs backs up your reply.

[Grampa Dave]

Unfortunately, 30 to 40% of Americans buy this bs.

[Polyxene]

"About three or four days after the casket is closed and buried."

THEN, they come back and vote for whoever the RATs have on the ballot!!!!

[xzins]

Unimaginable.

[Grampa Dave]

Some things never change.

Probably 30 to 40 % of adults on the east coast, who were alive before, during and right after our Revolutionary War, were still pro British and King George.

[Arrowhead1952]

When do Lunatic Libs like Rather stop lying?

When they are 6 feet under. After that, they only vote dumbocRAT.

[BushisTheMan]

"Yes, I was contacted by Mr. Rigler," Mr. Burkett wrote. "I told him I would not submit to an interview UNTIL Mr. Heyward took the actions to clear up facts and clear my name consisting primarily of a simple letter of clarification and a full unedited copy of the Crescent Court Dallas taping."

Mr. Burkett was referring to a three-hour interview between him and Mr. Rather, of which CBS News showed only a short clip. That clip was used to show that Mr. Burkett "misled" CBS producers about who had given him the documents. Mr. Burkett has said that the full tape casts his dealings with the network in a different light.

Mr. Burkett later scaled down his request, asking only for a letter signed by senior CBS News management stating certain facts about his reporter-source relationship with the network—a set of facts that both CBS and the investigative panel acknowledged to be true.

CBS News turned down Mr. Burkett’s offer.

So, CBS lied to Mr. Burkett also. Won't provide the a full unedited copy of the Crescent Court Dallas taping. Very interesting. Not that I feel sorry for Burkett. But a liar being lied to is probably hard to swallow for Burkett. Shows CBS is the bigger liar here.

Means CBS is the reason the investigation could go no further.

[The Great RJ]

That Rather would still assert that these patently phony and discredited memos are real is unbelievable. What's the frequency Kenneth????

[Grampa Dave]

"When they are 6 feet under. After that, they only vote dumbocRAT."

Has anyone besides me ever wondered what the % of rat total voters is from dead voters?

(adding to your above missive...)

PS: And Dan, keep up the good work. You are the best example of how bias esconced in the media centers first self-anoints its superiority, then grows arrogant and complacent... and your fall from yon heights (though with your eyes closed to the obvious, even as everyone around you can see your falling body grow ever smaller...) delightfully reflects a clear light on the irrelevance of the biased left.

The Emperor has no clothes.

[Rummyfan]

Rather predicted that "given a little more time, perhaps we could have" authenticated the memos, downgraded the potential impact of his story as he maintained that "George Bush was destined to be re-elected pretty much whatever happened in August and September," described Thornburgh as someone who "was in the Nixon administration, says the Bushes are good friends of his, both President one and two Bush," crowed about how the panel found the story "was not motivated by political bias, and they said that, although they had four months and millions of dollars, they could not demonstrate that the documents were not authentic," resurrected his charge that those who attacked CBS over the story had "their own political motivations and agendas" and contended how, unlike in the Jayson Blair case at the New York Times, at CBS News "nobody lied."

My God, he's delusional! But he's an old dog too, too old to admit that his entire career has been a lie. It would just destroy him. Instead, he will go off into the sunset mumbling these statements to himself. I can see him now, roaming the streets of Austin, stopping passers-by to tell them 'but they never proved the memo was fake'.

It will be over soon. Enjoy while we can.

[kittymyrib]

Dan will soon be out to pasture in that bastion of delusional Dems in Austin and will be the toast of the town. Maybe he can still get his daughter elected as dog catcher or something so he can convince himself that he's relevant. I'm embarrassed that HE'S from Texas, Natalie Maines.

"For a complete list of articles on the Ratherawful saga, check out PeaceRose's fairpress.org blog."

Will do.

"It will be over soon. Enjoy while we can."

Ummmm I'm [unusually] *thick* today, bert.
I'd sure appreciate it if you w/could define "It" for me.

*Privately* if you'd like.

...of course.

[timydnuc]

Danny Boy is circling the bowl just like the other little democrat I gave birth to this morning.

[ChadGore]

[BILL_C]

Unfortunately, 30 to 40% of Americans buy this bs.

More unfortunate is that 30 to 40% of Americans buy the Democrat's line. IS it just a fact that approximately 1/3 of our citizens will NEVER get it?

[leftcoaster]

"We were not able to authenticate the documents as thoroughly as I think we should have. Given a little more time, perhaps we could have."

This is laughable!

Hey Dan! You've had 5 1/2 months since your broadcast to authenticate the documents. Since you haven't, you obviously can't.

(BTW Dan, if you find yourself in need of a something to do these days, I'd be happy to pass your name along to this guy in Nigeria who pays decent commissions for amateur help on financial transactions.)

[StormEye]

"He's delusional."

Possibly. But I'd certainly say he's deceitful.
