Jaw-Slackening Arrogance; Mind-Blasting Irony

Go here.

Go to the second item. The one about Laura Bush.

Read what CBS News has to say about her belief that the memos are forgeries.

Make sure you're in a chair that will hold your body comfortably in case you faint from open-mouthed shock.

I'll wait.

Holy freaking crap.

That's not arrogance.

Just a bunch of assholes trying to cover their mistakes.

Pardon my french, by the way. That made me angry.

Tomorrow morning CBS will be absolutely crucified in major editorials. There will be a near mutiny at CBS. Dan will hunker down in his bunker. They will have to send armed guards to remove him.

Oh yeah, and the never of Laura Bush to provide no evidence of her claims. If I were George, I slap her playfully on the butt.

Posted by: John S on September 14, 2004 08:07 PM

edit: nerve for "never."

I was typing too fast. I am really ticked off at CBS. I am hoping that the dozens (if not scores) of important employees there who know what's going on will act with integrity. Internal pressure at CBS is very important.

Posted by: John S on September 14, 2004 08:10 PM

CBS has reduced itself to a nitche media outlet and is playing to its vanishingly small audience. Don't look too hard for a mutiny -- they're down to a core group of true believers.

The fact is, except for the controversy surrounding the FACT that the documents are forged, NOBODY outside of the tiny fringe of Bush haters cared about these documents. CBS knows its customer base, and is playing to it.

If Morley Safer and Mike Wallace don't perform an intervention with Dan soon, he's going to show up for work dressed as Napolean and report on the air that Wellington has surrendered.

Crap, Johnny. You just made me spit red wine onto my keyboard.

"Laura Bush failed to offer any evidence because Dan Rather stuffed a chloroform-filled rag in her mouth just as she was about to speak. Rather was immediately killed by the Secret Service in a hail of bullets from actual 'assault weapons.' I'm John Roberts, CBS Evening News anchor, signing off."

This is exactly what I hate about TV shows, it happens all the time on Days of our Lives. Any time there's a death scene, it goes ON and ON and ON and ON. You feel so sorry for the poor actor stuck in a hospital bed for weeks on end, making death rattles and looking wan. Someone tell CBS this Dan Rather death-scene ratings-grab is getting BORING. Just GO already.

Posted by: jeff on September 14, 2004 08:56 PM

Dan Rather's daughter leaked the fake memos, and Rather has provided no evidence that she didn't.

Posted by: Dan's Insane, Folks on September 14, 2004 09:10 PM

Anyone watch ABC tonight? Kerry Spot has a new post (via Cap'n Ed) about tonight's ABC news expose. They talked to two experts who had told CBS news that the memos were fake, before CBS ran with the story.

I forgot you're supposed to read a blog down to up. Sorry, Ace, I see now you're already on top of this.

The post has moved, here is a pointer directly to the item.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
