Rather will be gone before October.

Remember when the Boston Globe suspended Jeff Jacoby for four months in 2000 over a column about the signers of the Declaration of Independence? The Globe said he plagiarized a column that was floating around the internet; Jacoby said that the Globe wanted to silence him during the 2000 election.

Is this incident with Rather any different? Shouldn't CBS, at the very least, suspend Dan Rather until after the election? And then, while he's on suspension, they can float rumors about him not coming back.

I think Rather is going to be dragged out in a strait jacket, screaming and swinging his head at the attendants.
