MICKEY KAUS on RatherGate: “I’m not alone in thinking that the potential Staudt libel angle may be playing a big part in CBS’s Danron/’Memogate’ response. My guess (which may be disproved within hours!) is that CBS would want to settle any disputes with Col. Staudt before releasing any report that could provide him with evidentiary ammunition.” He has thoughts on gerrymandering and torture, too.
