#1 Another swipe at the Niger yellow cake story featuring that poor tortured democratic consultant soul Joe Wison. But, but, but wait a a minute, Wilson is on Kerry's campaign. Can't have any of this here coordination and such, can we?

#2 Naw - they axed it because they (Dan Rather) can't say with a stright face 'Bush Lied! ITs all Bush'es fault!'.

Why haven't they done a story on the mass graves? Rape rooms? Rape Squads? How about the rape and murder and genocide in Sudan? The Russian school?
Oh thats right -- their terrorist allies get a pass on all that.

#3 Just a wild guess but I wonder if this is the original 60 Minutes crew telling the network that they don't intend to go down with the Tidanic. Maybe Ed Bradley's already in the Witness Protection Program.

#4 A couple of other ideas for shows would be a vetting of the Swift Boat Vets,Sandy Burgers pilfering of classifed documents. In a bi-partisan world they would make great topics. But of course the American public won't see anything like that. Thank you CBS for your "honest" journalism. snicker.............

#5 How can CBS talk about any sort of documents being fake at this juncture and have anyone believe them?

#6 Playtime's over, children. No more screwing with Daddy's stock price.

Wonder whether Teddy Forstmann or David Bonderman would be interested in an asset sell-off?

#7 Perhaps the Sixty Minutes crowd has noticed all the affiliates dropping Rather like warmed over dog bleep.

The blogosphere is winning!
