Oh, to have been a fly on the wall...

Wouldn't you love to have been there this past week when Dan was in deep deep denial mode, you know the head of CBS news and Rather were going at it like a couple of guys in "Fightclub." And you gotta know that whole newsroom, seeing its credibility crumbling like a soft cookie, were all over him as well. Even now Rather is saying "I no longer have confidence in the in these documents." Note he is not saying they were forged. But goes on to say "...I find we have been misled on the key question (his key question, not ours certainly) of how our source for the documents came into possession of these papers." Now where do you think this wishing on star comment is going? You better believe Dan has been on his knees for 10 nights praying, "Oh God! Please let this be a Republican ploy." Which is laughable , of course.
After seeing Dan's over polite performance at the Dallas airport yesterday, I am thinking valium, maybe prozac.
We all know where this story would have gone without the internet and bloggers. The fact of Bush being the "fortunate son" ( DNC's new/everchanging theme) would be established. Kinda makes you want to go back and look at every news story during the Bush/Gore election craziness REAL closely, doesn't it?
Just like the blue dress kept Monica from forever being the liar who tried to smear Clinton, bloggers will make sure no story goes uninspected.
Ah, Life goes on. Rather retires. Bush wins. And something tells me a new blogger will appear, definitely in his pajamas. Screen name-RatherNewsGod.
