CBS Did exactly the "right thing" -- Limbaugh is crying like a baby
That's how you know it was perfect.

The repugs wanted this "show" to drag ..to incriminate Kerry. CBS drops the memo's as mis-lead and Limbaugh is having a "cow" on his show today.

Good job CBS...much more than Fuax would EVER do.

3. No chance.
CBS is going to lick its wounds and hope this just blows over.

They've been defanged, largely by their own lack of competence.

6. Dan Rather is going run the interview with Bill Burkett tonight
It doesn't look like they are running away from this story yet.

10. It will be Burkett admitting that he LIED to CBS.
They're in full CYA mode (how ironic).

12. they may lick their wounds, but they are NOT
putting this on the back burner--at least in their minds and research. I would suspect there are some serious questions getting asked right this minute!

something tells me this is gonna backfire bigtime! Grab a bag of popcorn, 'cause this is gonna get real good real fast.

16. Backfire for who? It ALREADY HAS backfired.
Grab a bag of popcorn? There are serious questions like "What kind of credibility or ratings does CBS have now?" They have shot themselves in the foot. They could come out with pictures of Bush and Saddam playing golf and it wouldn't matter.

2. Indeed that is very telling
also, No mention of the memo contents bearing on the facts.
I suspect there is more coming to this story, since Knox added more to it.

4. Hmmmm....maybe he should...
...take a chill pill? Oh...forget that...he probably already has and just has a tolerance too high to get any relief from them.

5. Wolf on CNN is trying to discredit all of the content of the Guard
controversy - based on the CBS thing.

Sounds very Rovian to me.

13. "having a cow" or having a cow?
Is he "having a cow", as in flipping out?

Or is he "having a cow" as his guest?

Because quite frankly, I could see that happening.

And I think that the cow would offer better insight and more thoughtful analysis than Rush or anyone he would invite on...

15. He's having a cow... for lunch. He;s having another cow for dinner.
