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.
To: starvingstudent
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.

Either choice is fine with me. Put him in a cell with his buddy Saadam.
Or send him to Cuba with his buddy Fidel.

To: Bahbah
Bob Selznik is exactly right to point out that Dan Rather lied to his viewers last Friday night when he told them he had thoroughly checked out the story, sources, and had experts who verified authenticity. Not only that, Rather didn't tell viewers anything about Max Cleland or Joe Lockhart being involved.
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!
