12. I want to praise Dan Rather and CBS, BUT...
where the HELL have they both been since the Boy King (literally) took office? CBS News has had plenty of opportunities to get to the truth about bu$h, but they seem to have passed them up every time.

With very little effort, CBS could have shown that Saddam Hussein posed absolutely NONE of the threats that bu$h cited in his State of The Union Address--yet they got in line behind the Chimp.

CBS could have run right to the end zone with the "Bush Knew" (911 attacks were coming) story, but they let it die after a day or two.

CBS could have gone ahead with the Reagan movie, but they caved to CONservative pressure.

Since Inauguration Day, the best thing one could say about CBS is that they were Least Among The Whores.

In 1974, Dan Rather was a freaking CHAMPION for the way he got into Nixxon's face at a press conference. It has been galling to watch him sit there in the bu$h years, drinking the Kool-Aid with the rest of the Pretty Whores.

While I applaud what looks like an awakening conscience at CBS and in Rather's makeup mirror, both entities are going to have to stay on this present course for, say, THREE YEARS before I buy what they're selling now!
