I don’t really care alot about “authentic” vs “accurate”– I can’t quite believe that these guys think they will escape the black hole by playing those kind of hyper-nuanced word games. If they did, they probably would have spelled corroborate correctly.

To me, this is the big news here:

“Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward”

Not only is Dan strapping on the C4, he’s going to give the President of CBS News a big bear hug, too.

Not the president he wanted to damage, but maybe better than nothing.

I have to wonder what kind of a moron Heyward must be to have reached out his hand to Dan-in-the-Quicksand? There’s no reason whatsoever, (I can think of???), that Heyward shouldn’t have stood stoicly on the banks and let Rather drown. But he did, apparently, put his name on this.

Oh well! Two down, legions to go!

PS: By the way– I’ve been trying to find that one quote in the Bible for a long time– the one that goes something like, “Oh woe to them who say that what is good is evil, and that what is evil is good”. Anybody recognize that one? It might have been a good time for it…
