    Wow, wonder where I was. I didn't know about this. I thought Rather retired.

    Nope. He used documents that were supposedly typed during Bush's Air National Guard time that turned out to be recent forgeries.

    As for Rather, he apologized on the air for not vetting the documents authenticity before airing them. Still he and several CBS News staffers ended up leaving. He now works at HDNet, owned by Maverick's owner, Mark Cuban.

    He was a "wartime president" by a war of his own making. And yes, that is what I am telling you, with maybe the exception of Olbermann, who told it unashamedly like he saw it. No worse than Rush's criticisms of the current President. And Bush had his own network in the Roger Ailes run, Fox News Channel, which was basically a PR machine for the GOP.

    He was sent to war with bipartisan support. Like it or not, Al Gore & Bill Clinton were starting that war beat way back in 1992.

    Why bring Fox News into it ? Rush ? They've never forged documents.

    But they didn't invade, did they? But GHWB did. Like father, like son. I remain convinced that W invaded Iraq to kill "the guy who tried to kill my dad", and to redistribute "the peoples money" to his Haliburton buddies via no-bid contracts.[/quote]

    Are they not part of the "mainstream media" of which you alledge bias against Bush? And you cannot paint the entire media with the broad brush over a stupid mistake by CBS staffers. They weren't the ones who forged the docs...but they did not properly check their veracity.

    They did kill a half million Iraqis. Without invading. Is that better ? (I've posted up Madeline Albright's admission that it was worth it enough times. People can YouTube it for themselves.)
    Because of their bias.

    I'd love to go back & forth, but we finally have some snow, and I'm taking the day off to go skiing. See you tonite.
