Sweating Bush II at CBS
By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/8/2004 10:44:00 AM
Players involved in the notorious 60 Minutes II story, reported by Dan Rather, which employed dubious documents regarding President Bush’s National Guard service, may have been rooting for a John Kerry victory.
No, it wasn’t that old bugaboo liberal media bias as much as it was a bias toward saving their own skins. The report from an internal investigation into the documents mess was purposely being held until after the election.
Pre-election, the feeling in some quarters at CBS was that if Kerry triumphed, fallout from the investigation would be relatively minimal. The controversial piece’s producer, Mary Mapes, would likely be suspended or fired, but a long list of others up the chain of command—from 60 Minutes II executive producer Josh Howard, to Rather and all the way up to news division President Andrew Heyward—would escape more or less unscathed.
But now, faced with four more years of President Bush, executives at CBS parent Viacom could take a harder line on the executives involved. |

Digger, I'd hardly call it a liberal army; it's more like a LIBERAL RABBLE. _________________ Swift Boats - Qui Nhon (12/69-4/70), Cat Lo (4/70-5/70), Vung Tau (5/70-12/71) |

I was especially delighted to watch Dan Blather "sweat it"
on election night. His face grew longer as the returns came in,
you could almost see the sweat beads popping out on his brow.
His beady eyes shifting left and right, and his tongue growing
so thick he could hardly speak. Holding out late into the evening
like he was holding back the floodgates of what he knew was inevitable.
No miracle in Ohio, he finally had to admit defeat.
PRICELESS!!! |

I missed the Rather election broadcast, but I would be willing to pay to see it now. Anyone know if it is out on DVD?
Also, I think that it would be a shame to let Rather retire now. He should have to do the CBS nightly news for at least the next four years! I know, I know, it is a cruel torture; the psychological torment will be horrific and the ulcers will be painful, but he has earned the punishment, and we have a right to enjoy every minute of it! I say:
Make Dan Stay!

As rich as it would be to watch Blatherhead disintegrate over
the years, I want him out NOW!
He should be prosecuted for the Federal crimes committed
in his Blathergate travesty.
Picture him, under oath, before a Congressional Investigation
trying to explain his innocence.
"After all," he would argue, " although the documents MAY HAVE
BEEN fraudulent, their content was accurate."
LOL!! I WANT TO SEE HIM SQUIRM LIKE A WORM!! |

How about "Hannibalize" them all. Let the Bush attack dogs eat them for breakfast. I know Bush is an honorable man, but there ARE some people around him who would just relish eating the CBS bunch for breakfast. His "go getters" are the best. I just wish he would use them more often. |

Email CBS News and request a DVD of Dan Blather's election eve performance. It is sure to become a classic!

So did the results of the investigation on the fake memos ever get released or was that fake too? _________________ John Kerry, R.I.P. (Rot In Paris) |

That's so funny, I can't stop laughing!!
Can you imagine Blather's chagrin when he hears that CBS is being inundated with requests for a DVD of the classic comedy titled
"DAN RATHER's AGONY" |
