I do agree with the part about women suffering more pain and not paying as much attention to it, but as for Rather, no pass.
That man makes millions a year to sit there and read that stuff, he has an obligation to be fair.
The very least that can be said is that CBS did not anticipate the questions, even if you want to believe this stuff you have to wonder why CBS was so completely unprepared for the response.
I still think the whold Bush AWOL thing is stupid.
It was a joke, Terrye.
Roger,
Not sure if you can have PMS 24-7
Leni ó If anyone could, it would be sour old Dan Rather.
What impresses me is that he’s been maintaining it for thirty plus years. What. is he the official placebo tester for Midol studies or something?
Dear Mr. Rather:
Courage…..
Yours truly
Kenneth, what’s the URL?
Did anyone catch Gore’s idiot savant, Chris Lehane with Koppel on nightline- he’s already floating the possibility that this is the fault of the Bush campaign.
So let me follow the “logic”. The Bush camp leaks forged memo’s which potentially damage the president’s campaign to democratic schill Dan Rather (and everyone who sucks at the teat of CBS news- hi NYT), assuming that Rather will not bother to check the memo’s authenticity, run with the story anyway, the story will get picked up by the MSM outlets and the next day, be utterly deconstructed by (lemme get this straight) the blogosphere ???? The end result of this train of logic is Bush is trying to get Kerry?
There’s wayyyy too many variables in that entire ridiculous fact scenario for anyone to come up with it and say “hey this will work”. Rove is a helluva political operative, I do not dispute it, but this is just too far fetched to be a plan he’d concoct.
Much more plausible is that the DNC was holding onto this and wanted a story put out after the Bush convention bounce- Rather was a willing party.
I mean, does anybody else think there are smart people runing the Kerry campaign ? Its like Kerry manages the Bad News Bears of politics.
Imagine Kerry’s jokers going toe-to-toe with the Iranians, or Chirac, or the Chinese, or Putin.
Roger:
I know it was a joke.
But men do whine alot.
