Declaring he “absolutely” believes “the truth” of his discredited story based on forged memos, about President Bush's National Guard record, on Wednesday's Larry King Live on CNN Dan Rather contended that “we had a lot, a lot of corroboration, of what we broadcast about President Bush's military record. It wasn't just the documents.” Rather then attacked those who dared to expose his misdeeds: “It's a very old technique used, that when those who don't like what you're reporting believe it can be hurtful, then they look for the weakest spot and attack it, which is fair enough. It's a diversionary technique."

Rather proceeded to insist, clearly talking about himself, that journalists who are “willing to be truly independent, and fiercely independent when called upon, and dedicated to pulling no punches and playing no favorites
have become in recent years a bit of an endangered species.”The evidence presented by the Swift Boat people exposing Kerry was much more explicit but obviously punches were pulled.

If your evidence was faxed to you from Kinko's, you know it is unimpeachable.

Oh just spit, Dan.
Why must you continually remind the world what a useful tool for the communist left you were until '04 when it all came apart for you. They have no more use for you . Fool.

Why doesn't this senile old fool (says me going on 63 LOL) join that other senile old fool Mike Wallace (who at least has had the good graces to keep a fairly low profile) and simply fade into the sunset or check into a sanatorium or something.</p>

Look for the weakest spot? His whole argument was so weak, it was so hard to choose.

Just wants to be relevant. Senility is so painful and sad, particularly when sycophants feed the fantasy.
