Former CBS and current CNN executive Jonathan Klein derided the bloggers as people "sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing." No matter what they wore, however, they did the research that Rather didn't. They made Rather, the "veteran" journalist, look like a fool. I guess that Pajama crack was supposed to be an insult, but doesn't that make CBS look even worse? A bunch of no account bloggers in pajamas took down your story in a matter of hours. How long had your professionally dressed staffers been researching this story? How incompentent must they be that these inferior bloggers were able to knocked you off your pedastal with almost no effort and certainly no "formal journalism training"?

One is an Atlanta lawyer, Harry MacDougald, who writes under the name "Buckhead" on FreeRepublic.com. He was the first to raise questions about the authenticity of the documents that CBS posted on its website the night of Dan Rather's report on 60 Minutes Wednesday two months before the presidential election last year. Actually, a lot of people questioned the authenticity before Buckhead. Buckhead was the first to recognize and specify the flaw in the cBS forgery, i.e., proportional fonts that were unavailable to typewriters circa 1970. Seemingly within the hour there were other Freepers who recreated the infamous documents on their PCs with Microsoft Word even with fancy overlays. Soon after, someone else recognized that the superscript was also flawed. My hat's off to Buckhead as "the man", but I wish to thank all the other Freepers who trashed the cBS garbage and left Dan Rather looking the fool he is.

So will they now be part of the blogger community that fights the McCain-Feingold restrictions on political bloggers? This news bit has only been a blip because there are more exciting things going on, but as someone who has a blog herself and likes to talk politics on it (and has no affiliations other than the fact that I am a concerned voter and constituent of Tom DeLay) I could easily come under as much scrutiny as the Big Boys. I personally am offended that a Little Person like me can have no more freedom to speak my political mind and advocate the candidates I choose on the cyberspace that *I* pay for than a Big Blogger will have when he gets 4000+ hits and access to the on-the-minute news coming online.
Fighting against the McCain-Feingold bill needs to start now. I consider it a GRIEVIOUS assault on the First Amendment, and I will NEVER FORGIVE McCain and Feingold and President Bush for getting it on the books. I especially hold McCain accountable because by putting his name to it, he NULLIFIED his service in Vietnam. I dare him to say I owe him gratitude for his service there, because he went and p*ss*d on the very Constitution he swore to uphold. President Bush proved himself a Domestic Policy Coward by letting it pass under his pen, instead of vetoing it. McCain's veteran status means NOTHING to me...and I was born in 1967 and am old enough to remember show AWFUL the Vietnam vets were treated...I have since wanted to be the one to THANK THEM for what they did. But not McCain. He is a TRAITOR in my eyes.
Sorry for the rant, but I now expect the Blogger community, especially the conservatives to be LOUD and DEFIANT of this bill that just got knocked down. I hope they pay attention now, because by this time next year, it will be too late.
