He routs a Vietnam war hero -- Bob Kerrey (the truly heroic Kerr[e]y) in the primaries and a WWII hero in the general election.

He repeats the feat in 1996, trouncing another WWII hero.

Case closed: Vietnam status is moot.

So, why the spectacle of Dan Rather and an octogenarian Bush Hater whom echoes DNC talking points -- "selected not elected" -- essentialy acceding that THE FRICKING MEMOS ARE FORGED -- which in a non-Bizarro World would signal the end of Rather's career -- yet continuing to thrash the dead horse that is GW Bush's National Guard Service?

It's like something out of a twilight zone episode or one of those 1950's B movies.

It's so surreal!

Rather's simply moving the Fourth Estate to the internet more quickly than it naturally would have. The days of the "talking heads" are over. Dan's stain on the First Amendment will be his legacy. He did it in 1982 (Gen. Westmoreland), 1988 (false evidence from unstable, disturbed or mentally ill non-Vietnam vets) and now his forgery of TANG documents.

If you're tempted to parse this and reply that he did not PERSONALLY forge them, don't kid yourself. He's in this deception all the way up to his eyeballs. The trust is gone, CBS is toast and the OIM (old irrelevant media) has been permanently marked as untrustworthy. From now on, we'll all have to find our own sources from the thousands and trust them at our own risk, just like we used to trust the OIM. The only difference is the number of sources.

Has anyone compared RATHER's handwriting to the signatures on the memos?
