Seems ol' Dan is being the strong captain, going down with a sinking ship. :-P
CBS News and anchorman Dan Rather have entered the journalistic equivalent of one of Dante's circles of Hell, forced to live forever with a scandal they created. With their Texas Air National Guard forgeries, they now live in a neighborhood of national media embarrassments. Faked Food Lion resumes. Staged GM pickup truck explosions. Janet Cooke's profile of Jimmy the 8-year-old coke addict. Jayson Blair's phony travelogues from "West Virginia."
Watergate was a scandal Mr. Rather thoroughly enjoyed since he built his career on ripping into Richard Nixon. Now, Rather is Nixon, a bitter, vengeful man who allowed his friends to use dirty tricks against his political opponents and, when caught, can only deny, deny, deny and bluster about the evil intentions of his enemies.

hmm silly rather will do anythign to make bush look bad, turns out the "typed" letters were spaced very well, as a matter of fact, too well. Type writters of the time, even government ones couldn't space letters and words as well as the document that Rather claims to be authentic....
go figure dems are getting desperate but no one is calling them liars... reminds me of Sandy Burger we just supposed to accept the fact that they are liars and not demand the truth or punishment for wrong doing.....
kevin: trust me, government printers still print like that!
You should see some of my orders, much less my DD214s or Pro/Con marks. They verge on illegible.
Posted by: skywalker at September 19, 2004 06:51 PMGood point about Sandy Burger. You dont suppose that Sandy Burger actually stole the real documents so that when they forged them, nobody would be able to find the real ones?
Also isnt if funny how Dan Rather said he would like to 'break the story' of his own lie?
