Rove is shitting his pants: He has a "pissed off Rather" and Kelly Book !
This is a bad recipe for shrub.

I can see Dan Rather invesitgating the facts within the book, covering his ass ten ways to Sunday with lawyers ... and then exposing the shrub for the man he really is.

What do you think?

5. Rather saved CBS beucause of his journalistic savy and integrity
Rove and company tried to smear him badly...the RW blogger that CNN sourced for the story were calling for rathers retirement (powerline .com).

Tonight..I think shrub has met a journalist who won't cave...he's screwed.

7. Finally Rove has taken on someone who resonates with the public
as a pesron of integrity.This is exactly what happened to Joe McCarthy when he took on the Army.He was nailed just like Rove is going to be.

2. Maybe Brokaw and Jennings will have to go after * if....
Rather is successful. CNN/FOX is still whoring it for *!

4. I hope so!

Personally, Rove might be evil and soulless and you can go a long way on that, but he's not all powerful. My opinion is he saw the documents, knew they were damaging, so he knee-jerked a rumor, claiming they were forgeries. His mistake was forgetting who he was trying to mess with.

I hope my faith in 60 Mins is justified.

6. Rather sounds sicker than Bill Clinton tonight,
but your comment about the prep I'm sure he's doing on Kelley is SPOT ON. Sick or well, he is on it as we speak.

Next week will not be a good on to be away from CBS.

And Rather will be ready for his close up.

8. The GOP is doomed. And now it begins-and we all get to watch.
CBS is not going to back up. They are also not going to quit unravelling Bush's lies.

From here on out the road leads upward.

10. We need to get Rather on some real issues--BBV, 9/11 coverup,
middle class sold down the river by US tax code---screw this distracting Viet Nam nonsense!

12. There's time, there's time...
A week on AWOL, a couple weeks shoring up Kitty Kelley's stories, then we can get at some of the more substantive stuff once the public is all titillated by the scandals & ready for new meat.

Those who live by the reptile brain shall die by the reptile brain.

13. Dan Rather is among the great
journalists of all time, up there with Murrow and Cronkite. He ain't afraid of anyone.

15. Rather is the one who told Palast he'd be 'necklaced' for reporting the
truth on American TV; he couldn't ask the tough questions since it was not allowed.
I'd be skeptical of any of his promises of true journalistic integrity until it actually makes it onto the air.

18. I think Rove put out the attack order tonight...with the Kelly book around
the corner...they want to discredit rather before the book comes.

fat chance...they are screwed!
