By golly, you're right. I had forgotten that whole episode. Thanks for the reminder.
Pat calls it a political "contract hit". That's a keeper.
Pat doesn't want Rather to retire, he wants him to resign.
Either choice is fine with me.
Good old Mort Zuckerman calls the mistake a beaut..but should not be asked to go...Mapes ,yes..."You guys in NY go to the same cocktail parties"..Bob
Zelnick says not simply a mistake...not retracting this, sticking by the story after it was discredited is the big problem...says don't make Mapes the scapegoat,Dan's responsibility.... but again no firing of Dan.
Dan with a black wig.
Put him in a cell with his buddy Saadam.
Or send him to Cuba with his buddy Fidel.
Pat's next book should be called Where the LEFT Went Wrong.
I know, then I got to thinking(ouch) maybe they should let dan stay and watch the ratings go d

Boiled down to bottom line, Rather is still being dishonest with viewers. Of course he should be fired, but not till we find out why he himself hasn't called for Mary Mapes to be fired. Think about it. Rather should be furious that Mapes got him into all this trouble! Something else, Rather didn't tell viewers that CBS only had those documents for 5 days before they ran with the story.
Scarborough said Rather is still claiming the documents are authentic. Ya gotta wonder at this point, if Burkett has fewer mental problems than Dan!
Excellent idea. I like the Saddam one the best. Let them cuddle together and commiserate(spelling).
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer´s gone, and all the flowers are dying
´tis you, ´tis you must go and I must bide.
Holy cow........ !!!! Joe is doing some Fire Breathing himself tonight lol
Pat: Every 4th grader in the country with a computer has figured out that these documents are forged lol
I'm sure dan does have some problems. Especially now. He's soooo conceited(spelling), it's disgusting.
GO PAT GO lol
