Dan has to be truly nuts. Anyone with half a brain could determine that no typewriter from the 70’s could produce such a document - that exactly matches the results of a modern computer using MS Word...

The documents were such obvious fakes that it is absolutely amazing that anyone at all was taken in by them.

But he might have gotten away with it. All the faker had to do was set his computer font to “Courier”, which in the 1970s was the most widely used typeface for government coorspondence, and that would have solved the problem.

Dan is a bitter old idiot, isn’t he.

Take some of that 70 million and buy a fishing rod Dan, you idiot.
Maybe you’ll learn to bait a hook.

If I didn't know this was all true I'd swear I was reading a satire in MAD Magazine.

Damn, just dated myself.

Ol’ Jonah sure knows how to turn a phrase. LOL

I’d love to see Goldberg and Steyn team up to provide expert ‘legal’ coverage of this Rather/CBS trial IF it ever makes to trial, their ratings would put all the ‘Idol’, ‘Dancing with the Schmucks’, and other puerile trash programming in the toilet where they truly belong.

Wrong. It was the “th” superscript after the squadron number that first jumped out at everyone who has ever received a set of orders in the 70’s.

I see another tedious Court TV saga involving a baby.

[Why ... why ... why?]

Why Jonah? You have to ask why? Why not ask a pedophile why he does what he does and the simple answer is because it’s what they do, have always done and will always do. They will only stop when they are MADE to stop.

What more evidence does one need to unravel the truth about the MSM? They sow the seeds of lies and deception unabated and without consequence because they have no master, no conscience and no accountability to anyone or anything.

This will never get to trial because of the one word neither Gunga Dan nor CBS wants to hear: Discovery.

I still want to know the name of the loser law firm that filed the case.

Well, God has not forsaken us. Dan Rather seems divinely inspired to crash more times than a Kennedy driving home from an office party.

Oh crap!! That's coffee spewing good, Jonah!

Rather’s trying to shine up his legacy. But all he is doing is removing more of the silver plating which had once disguised his “base metal” personality.

“Frankly, we need this. And by “we,” I mean a grand coalition of people who delight in watching one of the 20th century’s most pompous gasbags fall from the top of the laughingstock tree and hit every branch on the way down”

Quite frankly, this will have me laughing out loud the rest of the day.

This is interesting. Why is Dan Blather bringing this suit now? The left, of which Dan is a part, ordinarily is well coordinated and goal oriented when it comes to these kinds of things. I think Dan’s ego is taking precedence over the party line. It will be amusing as to how—or if—the MSM covers this story. Dan’s temper tantrum will further undermine whatever shred of credibility the MSM continues to enjoy among those whose only truth is what they want to believe.

Rather gone, CBS relieved of $70 mil.

This could be a twofer.
