Anyone thinking you could get anywhere on the Corprate pressure end of this saga. Here is a link to a page detailing Sumner Redstone's disclosed political contributions. Note that there is more than 1 page here, so continue after the first page...

This doesn't include contributions from the Viacom PAC, which gives mainly to democrats and Kerry.

So CBS says they are going to clarify the situation.

Something like, "Let me make things perfectly clear--I am not a crook."
(Richard Nixon after Watergate)

Or maybe like the scene in the movie "Forrest Gump" where Forrest turns to the runners following him and says, "I think I'll go home now..."

Actually, it's because CBS is having an 87 year old secretary type the statement on an IBM Composer for the 50th time (can't find that darn TH superscript!)

Prepare to stand-by to make ready the terciary backup....

Actually what's holding it up is I'd emailed them and told them I'd send them a copy of Word '72 overnight. I guess they must still be waiting for it to arrive.

All I can think of when I think of that secretary, bless her lil' ol' black heart (as we say in the South when we want to rip someone a new one without appearing to be rude) is my husband's dealings with the civil servant secretaries when he was in the Navy liason office at Pascagoula, MS.

I am sure there are competent civil servants out there but he had to deal with real ding-bats. He would come home so frustrated, and then, the poor guy, I would just laugh and laugh at his stories.

There was an old Regulus missile stuck in the ground out in front of one of his duty stations, and the standing joke was-- Q: What do civil servants have in common with that Regulus missile out front? A: You can't fire them, and they don't work.

I expect a statement from the 87 year old secretary at midnight (CST) responding to this posting. She will say, "I WILL NOT HAVE MY TYPING ATTACKED BY BLOGGERS IN PAJAMAS WHO STILL HAVE THEIR OWN TEETH, DAMMIT!"

Bless her heart.

And a half-hour late again--

Surprise!--Surprise!!--Surprise!!!--C

@ 11:59 Kerry was for the announcement @ 12:00 he was suddenly against it

@3:29 he was for it again, @ 3:30 he was against it

@4:59 he was for it yet again...

Waiting to see if he flip flops or an announcement if forthcoming

Their newest defense of fake memos but correct content is right out of the Psych Ward:
