My fav comment re this, via Powerline:

http://powerlineblog.com/archives/011808.php#011808

"...she says that critics of her television program talked about "peripheral spacing"... This is astonishing...that after a year, Mapes still doesn't know that "proportional spacing" is what we and many other bloggers discussed..."

Does this woman not have a single friend willing to take her aside? I mean, I love bashing the ignorant arrogant MSM as much as anyone, but its almost cruel to let her keep talking.

Does Mary believe that the pain she has received as a result of the exposure of the attempt to use a forgery to defame a Pesident is of much more import than the crime itself? (Is she a leftist?)

"Wow.. Timmy's wife picks up all the has-beens for the mag, huh? First Wilson and now Mapes."

What we call 'has-beens', the left calls 'heroes': the more you screw up, fail, and break laws, then the higher your stature becomes in the Democratic Party.

But, it is kinda fun to see them turning on each other; i.e. CBS-Mapes & NY Slimes-Judith Miller.

We ain't seen nothin' yet :-)

What a nerve! She should be ashamed to go out in public and she knows it...

Kinda reminds one of a child molester trying to make their depravity more palatable, doesn't it?

And if things were reversed, they would show mercy?

Mapes writes that she had felt the Guard segment was a big success

How is a news story a "success". What would have made the story a failure?

Here, I thought that the news was supposed to be an accounting of the facts, not a success. Gives away the agenda, doesn't it?

"And if things were reversed, they would show mercy?"

Of coruse not. I just find it interesting that none of Mape's collegues can get her to shut up. She's an embarrasment to herself and to the journalistic "profession" - although its becoming more evident that she is the standard, not the exception.
