The Long Knives Are Out For Andrew Heyward, Too
And gee willickers, wouldn't you know it, but Dan Rather seems to be cutting off Heyward's head with razor-sharp quotes.
Anything to save Rather. Mapes, Howard, Heyward -- they all done wrong.
But not Dan. No, not Dan. He was a passive dupe througout the whole process; certainly Dan never went on national television and dismissed his critics as "partisan political operatives," nor did Dan dishonestly represent decidedly-partisan non-experts as "independent experts" to verify his transparently-sham crude forgeries.
To extend the Watergate analogy--
Right now poor Dan is muttering to himself as he walks down the hallway, looking at the portraits of Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow on the walls, lashing out at the transcripts of his own recorded words.
"Dan Rather didn't say this," he mutters. "The Managing Editor of CBS News can't say that. Dan Rather didn't say any of these things."
This third-rate forgery is a cancer on the liberal media.
