Hat tip to LGF, who has a piece on this as well, highlighting this particular bit of Grassy Knoll's lunacy:

Did you know that, according to Sydney Blumenthal in his latest Slate rant, you are a Rove operative?
Here's what LGF highlighted out of this piece:
Within minutes of the conclusion of the broadcast, conservative bloggers launched a counterattack. The chief of these critics was a Republican Party activist in Georgia. Almost certainly, these bloggers, who had been part of meetings or conference calls organized by Karl Rove's political operation, coordinated their actions with Rove's office.

Maybe Rather can enlist Bernard Goldberg as a character witness.

“Rather’s suit will become an extraordinary commission of inquiry into a major news organization’s intimidation, complicity and corruption under the Bush administration.”
Yep. I’m sure that there are scores of liberals at CBS who will be glad to testify that Bush was behind all this. Afterall, Bush is behind everything, isn’t he?
To: Phsstpok
Rather will charge his attorneys to interrogate news executives and perhaps administration officials under oath on a secret and sordid chapter of the Bush presidency. No bias there. At least this is objective and fair reporting about bias in the media.

Notice how the MSM refused to cover the trials of those bozos at Abu Ghraib?
Because they knew the public would hear the opposite of what they “reported”.

To: Phsstpok
The Dan Rather lawsuit is nothing more than a shakedown. Rather is threatening to reveal skeleton’s in CBS’ closet in order to get CBS management to cave and settle out of court with a fat payoff.
Blumenthal’s piece reads like a threatening screed written by Rather himself [hmmmmmm].
Whatever.
Odds are, Rather is striking some nerves with the threats of being able to dig deep with legal authority [Mapes is making the same assertions].
So CBS will indeed cave [cuz they probably have quite a few skeletons that Rather is intimately aware of] and Dan Rather will be championed by the left as having been right about the phony documents and heralded as a hero sacrificed on the alter of corporate|Republican dirty tricks.
We’ll be hearing something along those lines for the next twenty years.
And the beat goes on...

They've said that the former anchor is "sad," "pathetic," "a loser," on an "ego" trip and engaged in a mad gesture "no sane person" would do.Mental illness is a terrible thing.
