And yet, for all that, she can't do any better than forged memos and a doddering 86-yo lying secretary.

Gee...how long did she work on the "Walls" Vietnam story that proved to be a complete fabrication. Airing that piece was totally irresponsible and should have ended the careers of both Mapes and Rather.

So she pursues this story for years, and when it gets down to the wire, down to the final point where it will be relevant or not....

What a loser. This lady doesn't have anything else to do with her time other than to try to desperately scrounge up lies about Bush's Guard service. Big waste on the payroll.

One thing is certain about this fiasco. Either Mapes is toast or she ends up blaming Rather.

" She spent close to five years digging into Mr. Bush's National Guard history...."

And she relied on faxed memos from a month ago to bolster her story?

Five years? Five? That's a convenient number. So she started during the GOP nominating process and this is the best she can do?

5 years!

5 Frickin' years!

5 years and all she and Dan Milhous Rather had to show for it was a handful of forgeries!

Tell us again why she and Dan Rather are not, at best, selling pencils on the sidewalk instead of warming chairs inside CBS headquarters.

And if it was not for Al Gore's invention, there would have been not recourse.

If I have not said it before:

Thank you Buckhead, Thank you Howlin, Thank you Jim Robinson.

And Thank you fellow FReepers!

If this ain't liberal bias in the media, it'll do til the real thing shows up!

That CBS paid this lady for FIVE YEARS! to dig and dig and dig and then paid her to put together a fake story when all her digging didn't pan out shows just what a political hatchet job this is!

"CBS News executives say she spent two months reporting the Abu Gharib story before it was ready for broadcast. She spent close to five years digging into Mr. Bush's National Guard history..."

Five years and she got it wrong, what about 2 months? How can we trust any of her work?

Just a tangential question for CBS news....................

........and who have they allowed to spend years researching John Kerry's record, and when can we expect the report on this, or did the reporter get scooped by O'Neil and the SwiftVets?

It takes long hours and helps to be a workaholic to fabricate such tales.
