Since the Iraqis controlled the production facilities, CBS apparently feared they wouldn’t get the tape if Rather didn’t gargle with Meek Juice before each question. Fine. As long as you realize that Rather would have been tougher on the Pope. ...

Thought it would happen, no. Hoped it would happen, well maybe.
