The article tries to show Rather as the victim of CBS and President Bush, and that "...The charges outlined in Rather's lawsuit will cast a further shadow over the Bush legacy."

Just a wild guess here, but I'm thinking President Bush is not going to be losing sleep over this one! :-)

Rather chases his tail in pursuit of his lost reputation.

What hubris..Dan Rather and his lawsuit will cast a shadow?

Let me see, AIG bailout, Auto Bailout, TARP...I think these are the events that really matter when it comes to “casting a shadow.”

Not some agenda driven media hack name Dan Rather.

If Rather had any decently he would swallow a round from a S&W

Thank you Tom Lantos

I think Bush did a credible job as CinC and Supreme Court justices, although the latter was so only grudging on his part. Otherwise, I don't think his legacy is much to write home about.

THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE DAN AWAY
Tune: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!"

Remember when I broke the news
How Bush got in the Guard
And didn't have to leave
To go to Vietnam?
Well . . .

I pushed that story hard
Just weeks before Election Day
And so of course you know
The thoughts I had in my mind
Like . . .

They're going to give me a prize, Ha-ha!
They're going to give me a prize, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a journalist
Who helps the Democrats all the time
And I'll be happy to put
That nice award
In my trophy case
And they're going to give me a prize, Ha-haaa!

You thought it was a fake
And so you cringed
You cringed when people said
That superscript was not done at that time
Right . . .

The people laughed, I heard them laugh
They laughed, they laughed and laughed
You made me leave
But now you know I'm Rather upset!
So . . .

I'm going to take you to court, Ha-ha!
I'm going to take you to court, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a tidy sum
Like six--no, seventy million bucks
And put me back on the Evening News
And make all the viewers watch
And I'm going to take you to court, Ha-haaa!

I read your news
I gave my views
And this is how you pay me back
For all my years of bold unbiased news?!
Hah . . .

Well, you just wait
I'll find the proof
And when I do
They'll know that Dan is not some sort of old unbalanced nut!
'Cause . . .

They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha!
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the anchor desk
With lights and cameras and breaking news
And four producers who sit and smile
And tell me that I'm the best
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

"CBS newsman's $70m lawsuit likely to deal Bush legacy a new blow"

Lololololol......maybe in some bizarre sex-fantasy of the author.

Rather contends not only that his report was true - "What the documents stated has never been denied, by the president or anyone around him," he says - but that CBS succumbed to political pressure from conservatives to get the report discredited and to have him fired.

Dan-the-Forger's suit is pure publicity stunt pot-banging, and a transparent attempt to reclaim some lost cred and to obscure his shameful forgery pedaling.

I see no sufficient grounds for a lawsuit; however, might not CBS have grounds for a so-called "SLAPP suite" here?

Fake but accurate says Dan Rather again. He needs to find Lucy to testify at his trial.

Nobody can damage W's legacy more than W already has.

Rather is a nut.

More revisionist nonsense. Like the minions on the Internet these days dutifully telling everyone who will listen that Joe Biden is not and was never a plagiarist.

Ron Howard is making a movie about it. Lonely, dedicated newsman fights evil corporation and dark forces in the White House.

The only shadows those charges will be casting is over a photocopier at an Abilene Kinkos.

Ol' Dan just needs to die off already. A useful tool of the Left is no longer needed and he seems to be the only one that doesn't realize that.

His tombstone can read:Dan Rather - such a good journalist that not only did he report the news, he also made it (up).

Hey Dan, maybe you and “Bela” Bugliosi could get together and write a book about that horrible George Bush, and really stick your fingers in President Bush’s eyes! You two losers belong together.

I’m with you, pillut48, President Bush isn’t going to lose any sleep over this.

Dan, aren't you busy these days kissing America-hating Mark Cuban's gold plated a$$?

You must be good at it since ole Cube is paying you to work for the black hole tv channel known as HD Net.

Among those CBS considered for the panel to investigate Rather's report were far-right broadcasters Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter

I do not know what Dan is smoking but I am sure it is high quality weed, with perhaps a heavy dusting of PCP. :0
