Ironically, Dan Rather is putting up a "Hurricane Defense" on the forgery issue. His reasoning is this: Here's his reasoning -- I have brick walls and a steel roof. I am stronger than the pending storm. So I'll just hunker in the basement for the weekend, and by Monday everything will have blown over and the skies again will be blue.

There are two problems with that thinking. Rather is old; his walls and roof have grown weak. And this is a bigger storm than he's ever faced before. And the last factor is the Hawaiian wrinkle. He's in the house with some folks -- the owners of CBS -- who might throw Rather in the front yard to drown, if it looks like that sacrifice will make the Hurricane Gods go away.

..Look, just about 5 years ago, CNN admitted the "Tailwind" story was a hoax, then ended up paying the producer and reporter a few million each to just go away..Rather should hold out for $50 mill, easy..
