"She spent FIVE YEARS on this story and still got it wrong."

At least 5 years of her life and CBS's dwindling funds were wasted on this lie.

Truth & Duty Truth Is Doody

Fixed.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks!:)

Rush will be discussing the Mapes interview after this commercial break.

[Ben Hecks]

Here it is again, Mary, you dolt, it's 'proportional', not 'peripheral'!

I am amazed that she has spent all this time on this and still doesn't understand the technical issues involved. No wonder she fails to admit that the documents were forged.

[Grampa Dave]

Rush comments about this Good Morning America interview with Mapes:

1. Brian asked Mapes if she still believed the story was still true. She said yes.

[Spiff]

By the end of the day, all of that would change. By the end of the month, I would be barred from doing my job and under investigation. By the end of the year, my long career at CBS News would essentially be over, after a long, excruciating, and very public beating.

[i_dont_chat]

Unbelievable that she has worked for 25 years in journalism and is not familiar with proportional spacing.

I think she is an idiot.

[Grampa Dave]

Excellent.

Obviously, she was "beaten" enough from her remards in the interview shown this morning.

The media handbook standard words:

"mape"

"mapes"

"maped"

"maper"

"mapeon"

"mapeist"

"mapeism"

"mapeopath"

"mapeopathic"

"mapeologist"

Mary Mapes will now be doing lunch with Eleanor Clift and Maureen Orth.

Thanks for the ping!

She reminded both of us a serial killer re how she refused to admit that she was wrong then, later and even now.

Can ou give more details? That is a cryptic sentence.

[Alex Murphy]

I don't think I committed bad journalism, I really don't.

That's because she doesn't see what she did as bad journalism. In her 25 year long career, manufacturing false documents to support a false story is simply business as usual for a career in journalism.

[marty60]

she needs to get over it and move on. Apparently she can't find a job. That's what she gets for working weith crazy Dan.

[KC_Conspirator]

No, she just go caught in a huge lie. She tried to pass off fake memos, on a fraudulent story, with no reference checks or background investigation. All in the hopes of getting Bush. In fact, they bragged about it at "60 Minutes" before this lie ran.

The point is how many times in 25 years has she not gotten caught?

I don't think I committed bad journalism, I really don't.

I wrote the following little ditty in honor of all of you at the Free Republic who helped "out" Mary Mapes and Dan Rather at CBS. The title is: Poor little Mary

There once was a producer named Mary
Who, as time went by, became scary
Whilst sitting on her tush
She figured out how to screw Bush
And that's when we all became wary

Her boss man was a complete dip
And Bush, he wanted to rip
Ain't no pie-in-the-sky
I can really tell a lie
But the facts we have are zip

But Mary said "not to worry"
I can make copies in a hurry
I'll make it look real
My lips I will seal
So off they went in a flurry

As the weeks and months went by
Poor Mary began to cry
My name is not good
In the news neighborhood
And CBS told me bye-bye......

I hope you enjoyed this and hope Mary Mapes grows up too!!

"she needs to get over it and move on. Apparently she can't find a job. That's what she gets for working weith crazy Dan."

When we expose these pseudo journalists as pathological liars. the only thing they are qualified to do is to write a book lying about their lies/denial and going on the interview and lecture circuit to lie/deny in person about their lying.

[Grampa Dave]

This is great.
