Nice tagline. Keep up the good work.

Perhaps I'd use it too, if I weren't such a Roman history fanatic.

Since this woman doesn't seem to know much about anything, I'll help her out. Here's what should have happened;

Mapes: "Mr. Burkett, we really need to see the originals to verify this story."

Bill Burkett: "I told you I had to burn them to protect the source...blah blah blah...I have no ax to grind against President Bush, no matter what your research says about my unsuccessfully suing him".

Mapes ( puzzled ): "Never heard you sued him. Really don't care about that part".

Burkett: The documents I gave CBS are the real thing. 100% grade A genuine. Trust me."

Mapes: "Goodbye".

On to your next story as this one stinks up the place. I guess you were asleep the day they taught journalism.

Words are not good enough for what I think about this heinous traitorous butt-ugly bitch.

I can't believe I sat and watched that movie TWICE! lol!

TRANSLATION: The MSM is trying to PROPAGANDA FreeRepublic.com as an "extremist" site so that way IN THE FUTURE when the NEXT reporter makes up/forges papers, the MSM can dismiss FreeRepublic.com as "extremist".

They already tried that, but what they haven't realized yet is that the facts will get out now that they are no longer in control of the information.

Hey, Mary--it's the boogey man!

[weegee]

The barking moonbats at DUh are certain that it was Republican operatives who created the forgeries as a trap for the Rats.

Just as Louis Farrakhan thinks the conspiracy of 9-11 was that we (US) permitted the hijackers to take over those planes and crash them so that we could set off bombs inside the WTC and Pentagon to be able to wage war against muslims.

Must be the same VRWC that got Monica Lewinsky placed inside the White House as "bait" for Bubba.

She must be a lurker. She'll have more time to lurk when her severence package runs out. Hi, Mary Mapes.

She'll go from lurker to sulker in no time.

I'm deeply touched! Does that mean I get one of those dust catcher thingies??

Hey Mary....BOO!!

This one post is a goldmine for Freeper taglines. For example...

"It dawned on me that I was present at the birth of a political jihad."

That's kind of like meeting someone for the first time at their high school graduation and thinking you had seen them born. You're quite the hard-core investigative journalist, Mapes.

So, she sets out to prove her innocence of politically motivated hogwash by claiming we're hyperconservative? It doesn't even occur to her that by making that claim, it shows what political field she sits in. She can't see the forest because she's a tree.
