My wife for some reason had "Good Morning America" on this morning. She called me into the family room with, "You will be interested in this."

Mapes was being interviewed (I don't know the interviewer) about what happend last year and her new book.

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

The ABC interviewer did a good job and didn't let her slide by with her not admitting any guilt.

[Grampa Dave]

Hopefully, this isn't a rerun. The orginal title was so long I had to edit it, and it didn't include Mapes's name.

When Mary's phone don't ring she knows its Dan.

[Grampa Dave]

She is still totally non repentant about what she did.

[Mamzelle]

I love it that Mapes is out there whining. Almost as good as hearing the moans from the left after the election of 2004.

"I don't think I've done a good job for 25 years, woke up on the morning of September 8th and decided to commit professional hare kare."

Fair enough. So this should mean that she was lying and twisting the news all 25 years, then.

I can see how that might be possible.

[Toskrin]

She is complaining about getting the sort of public beating that she has been giving to others for years with her lies.

Ironic, isn't it?

Here's an interesting term for Ms. Mapes to consider: delusions.

Definitions of delusions on the Web:

• A firmly held belief with no basis in reality, that is, clinging to a belief even when the evidence shows that it's false.
  www.schizophrenicpen.com/defin.html

• A delusion is commonly defined as a false belief, and is used in everyday language to describe a belief that is either false, fanciful or derived from deception. In psychiatry, the definition is necessarily more precise and implies that the belief is pathological (the result of an illness or illness process).
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusions

• A condition in which the patient has lost touch with reality and experiences hallucinations and misperceptions.
  www.ukhealthcare.uky.edu/patient/glossary/glossary-d.htm

• a perception that is thought to be true by the person experiencing it, although the perception is wrong. There are many types of delusions (ie, delusions of grandeur).
  www.frankfordhospitals.org/healthinfo/adult/mentalhealth/glossary.html

• Delusions are a common symptom of sever forms of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Someone who experiences a delusion hold false beliefs. These false beliefs are not by choice. The person cannot let go of the delusion, even when all the evidence is against the false belief. As a result of the delusion the person is not able to fully function in daily life. There are many types of delusions, some of the common types, with examples, are:

• delusions are defined as "fixed false beliefs". Examples include a strictly held belief that aliens are inserting thoughts into one's brain or that one's food is being poisoned by the CIA. Delusions are common in schizophrenic disorders.

• Thought disturbances; hallucinations.
  www.birf.info/home/bi-tools/qlinks_d.html

• false belief systems; serious mental disorder in which patient has a false set of beliefs which can include others, self, and events. These false beliefs are held despite strong facts to the contrary. Delusions cause impairment in normal daily living.
  www.psychologyandlaw.com/Definitions.htm

• a delusion is a persistent belief that something is true when there are no facts or evidence supporting the belief. Logic and logical arguments are usually ineffective.
  www.depression-help-center.com/glossary.htm

• Delusions are fixed, false beliefs. They can be bizarre (eg, invisible aliens have entered the room through an electric socket) or nonbizarre (eg, unwarranted jealousy, or the paranoid belief in being persecuted or watched).
  www.alegent.com/body.cfm

• False ideas, sometimes originating in misinterpretation, but firmly believed and strongly maintained in spite of obvious proof or evidence to the contrary. Delusions may be suspicious in nature, for example, "Someone is stealing my checks!"

[Dont Mention the War]

The ABC interviewer did a good job and didn't let her slide by with her not admitting any guilt.

Nobody in the MSM (outside of some diehards at CBS and the truly deranged) believes Mapes. The only reason GMA had her on at all was so that their bookers could flip the bird at the Today show's bookers for getting her first. They all know the massive damage Mapes did to their already-in-tatters reputations.

However, she will be on Larry King tonight. Hopefully he'll take some calls. ;)

Funny, neither do I!

"My story on George W. Bush's Guard service had run on "60 Minutes" the night before and I felt it had been a solid piece. We had worked under tremendous pressure because of the short time frame and the explosive content, but we'd made our deadline and, most important, we'd made news."

"We'd made news" Hmmm....And here lies the problem, wench. You aren't supposed to MAKE THE NEWS...you're supposed to REPORT IT! Idiot! You'll make the news again, as soon as you process the first bag of fries at your new job with MacDonalds.

[Wil H]

most important, we'd made news

Spot on, condemned herself from her own mouth.

Yes, she'd "made news" - made it out of whole cloth, hadn't she!

She just doesn't get it.

Journalists don't "make news" journalists report the news made by others.

[TC Rider]

Another person claimed there was no peripheral spacing on old typewriters, even though there had been on some of the old official documents.

What an idiot! Doesn't she have an editor? It's 'proportional', not 'peripheral'!

[Sloth]

I don't think I've done a good job for 25 years

Finally, something Mapes and I can agree on.

[Chode]

and to hear the lamentations of their women...

[HawaiianGecko]

	"I don't think I've done a good job for 25 years, woke up on the morning of September 8th and decided to commit professional hare kare." Dishonest statement and simply spin. At no time did she think she was committing harakiri. For years she could broadcast whatever she wanted with impunity; so why would it be different today? For a producer, you'd think she would know that Seppuku is spelled "harakiri" not "Hare Kare."   I'm surprised she didn't spell it Hairy Cary or even Harry Carey.  Isn't Hare Care something that Paul Mitchell sells?

Truth & Duty Truth Is Doody

Fixed.

[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.

[KC_Conspirator]

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.
