| Accused 3 at CBS News Still On Job - Refusing To Resign |
| 2005-01-27 |
| January 27, 2005 -- THE three CBS News execs asked to resign earlier this month over the embarrassing Memogate scandal still haven't quit. Instead, they've hired lawyers. Unlike veteran producer Mary Mapes — who was fired outright for using bogus documents in a George Bush-bashing Dan Rather report on "60 Minutes" — the three were asked for their resignations. CBS is still waiting. Sources say Josh Howard, Betsy West and Mary Murphy are no longer coming into the office and could be threatening wrongful dismissal lawsuits as they negotiate severance packages. A spokesman said, "CBS refuses to comment on speculation." BWAHAHAHAHAHA - thought this could be swept away? |

| #3 Too close to the UN building. 12 resolutions later....Don't hold your breath. These people will be in place. Remember for liberals its all about appearence not results. Report issued. Resignations request. That's all folks. |

| #2 Life imitates art. This is a riff on the cereal commercial where the simpleton eating crunchy cereal can't hear his supervisor repeatedly firing him. If CBS doesn't have the institutional discipline to have security escort these people from the premises, box up and ship their personal belongings, and bar them from reentry, it is even more pathetic than it currently appears. |

| #1 "CBS refuses to comment on speculation." "But we're more than happy to air it as news!" |
