#1 Rather should be happy he is not in jail for trying to throw a presidential election with patently false documents. He has singlehandedly managed the nearly impossible task of further disgracing an already thoroughly disgraced profession.

#2 The beauty of this lawsuit, which has most legal observers laughing so hard that their neck veins look like one-pound sausage casings with five pounds of ground chuck in them, is that if it goes to trial (shortly after unicorns file my taxes), CBS will be put in the position of having to prove that the story was bogus, while Rather will be forced to look even more like a grassy-knoll theorist, climbing back to the top of the laughingstock tree. So I say again: You go, Dan! Ill bring the popcorn.,

Dan climbing back to the top of the laughingstock tree! I can hardly wait. ROLF!

We should thank ole Crazy Dan for he Jump Started Us Bloggers, Inadvertinly of course with ONE of his great BLUNDERS, [great opportunity for us though] to start unraveling the big shot Networks.

#4 Pleez let this go to trial! You will hear the one of two noises from the Blog-o-sphere(tm):

1. A collective orgasmic giggle and sigh from the sane parts, like here.

2. A loud screech-kaboom followed by silence, as if a million Kossacs cried out in frustration, then aspoloded.

(note- I'm not afraid to use hyphens -- so there!)

#8 Now we know, in the end its all about Dan Rather.
But those of us with an IQ above Dan's age already knew that. It reminds me of how happy I was when Peter Jennings died.

#9 In 2004, at the height of the Dan Rather Memogate story

Otherwise know as the 2004 Blogger Full Employment Act.

#10 Yeah, I mentioned this before, but it is just sooo damn funny. Snark from The Daily Gut:
They should give him 70 million photocopies of a dollar bill...it's not like he could tell the difference.

#11 Peter Jennings isn't still reporting? I really must pay more attention to the important things.

#12 But you have been paying attention to the important, #11 tw.

I saw you at the Watching-Oil-Paint-Dry™ competition - and everybody knows that's more important, and more productive, than watching net~~work~~weird "news."

#14 In this case how can CBS settle?

I know they want to so it goes away but that vindicates Gunga Dan without any review of the phony documents. CBS can't settle and keep any shred of integrity (what little is left, if any).
