I would say a better analogy is this:
CBS, like a sunburned, elitist tourist, flaked the waters with bloody chum in an ignorant and zealous attempt to draw the sharks to Bush, another visiting tourist enjoying the warm waters.
Only CBS did not realize that they apparently cut themselves with their own stupidity leading the right wing sharks to devour the source of the warm, fresh blood flowing like a red cloud in the deep blue sky.
The CBS tourist quickly found himself in a tight spot yet pathetically continued to throw the chum towards Bush, the sharks were not fooled. They continued to persue the live target in a frenzy resembling a scene from Jaws.
Bush went on frolicking in the waters but CBS was left struggled to the shore as the shark ripped him apart.
What was remaining of CBS was an ugly sight but still to this day throws dried up, rotten chum at Bush.
LOL!
Very well said! Would even make a nice Tagline.
Mary needs to face the reality that some political operatives faked some documents and duped her with a story she so desperately wanted to be true. She still wants that story to be true and believes in her heart of hears as did Dan Rather that even if the documents were fakes, that the story must be true and should be told.
She has no ethics, nor does Dan Rather. That is why they are both effectively fired.
