[...] As promised, from last night’s Larry King. On this lawsuit may depend the future of independent journalism, he suggests, a neat trick for a guy who spent 44 years at the desk for the most famous corporate news outfit in America. It’s not that he passed off garbage documents as authentic — no one’s proved that they’re garbage, Mr. Independent falsely reminds us — it’s that his mindless corporate masters wanted to “appeal to the Bush White House,” in King’s words, by getting rid of him. Why they would want to do that isn’t explained but I can’t wait for the trial to find out. Blame the company for his on-air apology during the scandal too: he says he takes responsibility for it but then dismisses it as something he didn’t believe in and didn’t want to do but did anyway to show he was a team player at CBS. That darned corporation again. Always making it hard for those who are “big on personal responsibility.” [...]

Well, Dan-Rather-Not-Tell-The-Truth is personally responsible for being irresponsible when concerning President Bush’s Air Guard service.

BTW-for those who think that the Air Guard or Civil Air Patrol is some type of country club, I knew two people who served in the Air Guard and one was badly injured during a rescue mission but recovered, the other survived a bad plane crash (the crew walked away from that one, thank God).

Jurassic Park…

Forget the recently announced remake of 1,000,000 years B.C.–especially since it will lack the essential elements for such a movie: a 1966-era Raquel Welch in a fur bikini. Instead, here are two video clips beamed back from the dinosaur world……

I would have blown snot bubbles if I were setting at that table.
That is like:
Monica Lewinski saying: “I’m big on chastity”
Rosie O’Donnell saying: “I’m a size 6”
Michael Moore saying: “ I love America”

And there in the flesh, live on video is exactly why the tinfoil hatted leftist loons cannot hear, see or read: brainwashed!! Personal responsibility for them is their opponents being controlled by them…ala the “pajamas party” Reid had. They honestly, I believe, do not see any other side of anything. They are incapable of any responsibility for anything. If they are successful with losing in Iraq, pay close attention how they respond when the blood floods the streets of that country. They will do exactly what they did in Viet Nam: pretend nothing is happening while millions died as they did with Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, and Ho Chi Min.

The new Dan Rather exercise tape for fat-minded journalists:

Cheapen it UP… Dumb it Dooooown 1
Cheapen it UP… Dumb it Dooooown 2
Cheapen it UP… Dumb it Dooooown 3
Cheapen it UP… Dumb it Dooooown One!

This is a four-count exercise.

“… cheapen it up, dumb it down, and you say “Gosh I don’t wanna do that.”"

Is he really that far removed from reali.. never mind.

Um, What?

Why in the world couldn’t ANYONE on the panel speak up! Maybe just casually mention the fake docs and see what he has to say. But why expect real journalism form journalists anymore? It’s only their job.

“Like when people used to tell me, cheapen it up a litte, dumn it down. Now gosh i don’t want to do that.”

Oh – my – god. So when people used to talk to Dan Rather and give advice, the point they really wanted to make was that he is being too darn smart. He’s being too darn ethical. He’s being too darn journalistically reliable. Ooookay then.
