MSNBC

so MSNBC just reported

I happen to have a spare 1L of Bombay Saphire at home. It is going to come in handy when I get home. Will make the endless waiting easier.

Also, be a good object lesson for my daughter (see that is what happens when you lie.)

[capydick]

Just speculation, but there might be bit of infighting over at CBS about what to do about the situation...

Gee, ya think? Can you just imagine the reaming that ol' Dan is taking right now? Right now they are probably making up the news for tonight:

And in other news, President Kerry has announced our complete withdrawal from Iraq and former President Bush has been arrested for war crimes. I'm Dan Rather, and I resign effective immediately. Goodnight.

I'm an amateur mohel with no experience. Maybe I could do the job with a dull ax at 20 paces. ;o)

[Soul Seeker]

Did I hear right? Caddell, Bernie and Michael Reagan all tonight?

If so, Alan is outnumbered!

[Calvin Locke]

...calumniate...

I thought that was a town in IL?

[dep]

i know. kinda pitiful. on the other hand, absolutely nothing from cbs is better than a net negative, which us what usually comes from cbs.

[cyncooper]

I was quoting what another poster said!

I'm not listening to Hannity since we get him on an hour delay.

[ThomasMore]

BBL...have fun ya'll

[hope]

holy smokes my cable just went out!

[Petronski]

I was thinking that, then hear he's out interviewing the secretary.

One of those two is false (at least one).

And I don't think they have any more time before this modified full hangout they're planning--certainly no time to just say "Dan's on assignment." If they try that they're certifiable, because NO ONE will believe it, and it will only feed speculation.

Rather sat for a week like a frog in a pot of cold water pretending nothing was happening but now, guess what, the water is boiling.

They are still trying to pry Dan out of the anchor chair. Fire Dept. has been called to bring the jaws of life.

[Bob from De]

In the StolenHonor documentary, which should be mailed out by Friday, there is a clip of vets? being coached for their "testimony". Pitkin can certify that Kerry coached the lies. He spoke at the Good Men Died rally Sunday in D.C.
Maybe Rush can give Pitkin some time to tell his incdedible story. No steaks!

[Socratic]

"....absolutely nothing from see BS."

Well then, they are certainly living up to their reputation.

[RandallFlagg]

holy smokes my cable just went out!

Bush's fault. Just ask The Dan

[TruthWillWin]

LOL

My sentiments on the whole CBS/Rather situation exactly.

[cyncooper]

We're going to reach a 1,ooo posts with nothing. NOthing, I tell you....absolutely nothing from see BS.

Which, when you think about it, is something...

ha!

[blasater1960]

Belly laugh!

Maybe he has been unable to gain his composure all day, poor baby.....

[dep]

Fire Dept. has been called to bring the jaws of life.

and the fire department says that in this case they'd just as soon try out the jaws of death.

[sirchtruth]

Does this mean CBS is sticking by the memos? Or are they going to concede on the memos, and somehow try to insist that the attention should now shift to Bush's insufficient answers to the questions raised by the fake memos?

That's what I will place my wager on!

[SevenofNine]

I think Dan Rather is lock in his office don't want come out he having meltdown right now

CALL 911 CBS news Rather legacy going down in the toilet
