This ought to go well:

Allahpundit, Hot Air’s lead blogger, is a writer whose former website, Allah Is In The House, was among the most popular conservative blogs of 2004. He is cited in Mary Mapes’s book as one of the right-wing bloggers whose “wild and hateful claims” helped destroy CBS’s story about the Bush National Guard memos, which pleases him to no end. He can be reached at allah@hotair.com.

Must bring back memories doesn’t it, AP?

The judgement should be for $0.75. The is like the judge in DC suing the dry cleaner for losing his pants; it backfired on him. I hope CBS counter sues for its loss of reputation due to Rather’s partisan antics against President Bush.

Unfortunately for CBS, any claims they may make about their “reputation” being something they actually give a damn about went out the window when Katie Couric was hired as their nightly news anchor.

Rather’s 1996 quote to the Los Angeles Times on the chances of finding him still in the anchor seat after the 2000 election: “You would sooner find a tall talking broccoli stick to offer to mow your lawn for free.”) It may be, as Bryan Curtis has written in Slate, that Rather is simply “barking mad,”

It might be what still drove him in 2004…

Newsbusters needs to start monitoring his show on HDNET, Mark Cuban’s station. I’ve seen some of it, loads of leftist propaganda…

Maybe, but HDNet still rocks.

How could Rather destroy that which had long since withered away?

He also contends that the network committed fraud by commissioning a “biased” and incomplete investigation of the flawed Guard broadcast and, in the process, “seriously damaged his reputation.”

Could the investigation have been “fake, but accurate”?

Yes, a excellent headline-I recommend it to all

But of course it’s not his fault. Play the victim and sue.

Tell tail signs we were right all along – he’s a Liberal.

“Ex-CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather has filed a $70 million lawsuit against his former network, parent Viacom Inc. and several of his ex-bosses, claiming they violated his contract and damaged his reputation, a published report said Wednesday….

As the days begin to blur for Josh Howard, he embraces the same logic: “So much of this debate has focused on the documents, and no one has really challenged the story. It’s been frustrating to us to see all this reduced to a debate over little ‘th’s.”

That’s from the Washington Post article. The old fake but accurate. That kind of arrogance and elitism is what’s wrong with journalism today, well, that and the fact that most are far left wing fanatical kooks.

I would love to see rather and cbs in court.

This is greymail. Rather is just playing chicken to squeeze a few bucks out of CBS. Rather might look like a jackass if this information gets out, but so what? His career is over anyway. The Network has a LOT more to lose than he does.
