Rather Admits Error (Sort Of)

Well, Dan Rather has finally addressed the forged-document kerfuffle. I'm disappointed. I had been hoping that he would lay the blame on his producer, Mary Mapes, so I could post something with the title "Mary Mapes Dodge." Sigh. Oh well.

The most intriguing portion of his statement is his assertion that Bill Burkett "did not come to us; we went to him and asked him for the documents."

So who tipped-off CBS to these forged documents in the first place, if it wasn't Mr. Burkett?

Dan still hasn't apologized to the man he slandered and defamed - President George W. Bush.

Dan, that old dawg from 2000 jes don't hunt and you ought'a be ashamed of yourself for using your podium to launch an utterly baseless attack on a sitting President. It WAS a baseless attack Dan. Your "evidence" was FAKED!

Best wishes,
Mannie
