It might've been nice...
Posted by Dale Franks

...to hear a few more tidbits of info from Dan Rather last night. Maybe some skeptical questioning. Like, I dunno, why has Mr. Barnes told a consistently different story both in public statements and in statements under oath than he told last night. Why, after at least 6 years of consistent, and very public--and sworn--denials is he claiming something completely different now? Was he lying then, or is he lying now?

Oh, and since he's a very public fund-raiser for Senator Kerry, and has appeared on the podium with him at a couple of events in the last few months, maybe some questions about his motives might've been in order. They certainly seemed relevant when it was the Swifties under the microscope.

Or maybe some information about where Texans for "Truth" came from, and how much of their funding is supplied by MoveOn.org (Hint: pretty much all of it).

Oddly enough, though, those questions never seemed to come up. I guess there just wasn't time to cover the story fully, what with that damned stopwatch ticking away, and all.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...

Dale, you know better than that. Anything that hurts sKerry is not worthy of air time except to debunk it.

Now, is it the Clinton Broadcasting System or the Communist Broadcasting System?? It's getting so hard to tell these days......

Is that ticking the 60 minutes clock, or the final few seconds of life ticking down for this old fossil?

Shark:

Yes.

"Integrity" and "Rather" are mutually exclusive. He's a pathetic paranoid and aging demlib shill

The next question they need to be asking is how could they duped by forged documents.

We could be looking at an amazing double kill this election season: taking down the Dems AND old media!

How I hope...

Shark, do you actually believe that CBS will retract the report if this forgery piece turns out to be true? My money is on them ignoring this issue until it goes away.

Rather so wants these to be authentic. Let's get him a copy of the Hitler Diaries to go with his collection of historical documents.

Can Pantload Berger possibly be involved in this? Nah, he only steals real secrets.
