To: Congressman Billybob

Rather is not missing...He interviewed the elderly secretary and Brit announced they'll air it tonight on Sixty Minutes Two.

I saw you say earlier that CBS would admit the documents were fake and that Rather might resign. I, too, thought Rather might be forced out.

I have contended since I realized the documents were fake that Rather was knowingly complicit. After reading comments John Roberts has made, and now this CBS statement, I must say that it looks like a wider group over at CBS involved.

But I think knowingly involved with the DNC/Kerry Kamp they are.

What are your thoughts on proceeding with Congressional hearings. I vote "aye".

1. They are being attacked by the right wing.
2. The documents are probably not real but they contain elements of the truth (?)
3. Please watch SeeBS, we will shred our integrity for a few ratings points.

you can't have speculations on documents you don't know exist.......

What a great exchange. I remember Brit saying with considerable force "you can't have a "story" based on documents you don't know to exits".

Juan Williams is forever tainted with the stench of DNC presstitute. He'll do anything to advance the agenda.

betcha found it already, lol, but here's what C-BS pres said (and Dan said there'll be MORE tonight on 60 minutes, lol):

Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

NO.

While this ratchets up the heat a little, this changes the focus. FR, the blogs and the other media have been drawing the noose tighter and tighter around DNC-BS's neck.

Anyone with a brain knows that no Congressional committee is going to hold hearings between now and November.

If your enemy is digging a hole, you don't give him a ladder.

Whoever is chairman of the committee ought to just back off this.

This whole story's been developing fine without the politicians in DC getting involved.

Why do you think the RNC and the WH have kept (pretty much) quiet about this? Aside from Laura Bush's remarks, and a statement by some press secretary today, they're playing the story like pros.

"will shred our integrity for a few ratings points".

CBS:
'If we can't get Bush we might as well get ratings!'

I honestly thought DanO was snookerd by someone, but the way they are reacting makes me think it was an inside job, with Dan Rather/SeeBS Big-wigs somehow involved in the creation, not just the dissemination of the fraudlent docs..

They're actually dumb enough to think this sort of publicity is good for their ratings!

"Stay tuned for more tonight on 60 minutes...."
Guess it's all fun and games 'till someone hauls your butt before congress, slaps federal forgery charges on ya, and the Viacommode stock tanks......what a way to retire Danny

I do the cooking at the Slim house. Mrs. Slim is a wise and crafty woman. She convinced me that the stove, the washer and dryer, and the vacuum were all "Power tools" early in our marriage. So I flex my muscles and say "You'd better let me take care of that." She just smiles. :)

I forced myself to watch the entire See BS news broadcast at 6 PM.
The documents might have been faked, but their content was true!
His first story was indicative of See BS’s stance – President proposed a large aid package for those who are about to be wiped by Hurricane Ivan – but only because this is an election year. The package will be passed – and add to our enormous deficit!
