YOU KNEW THAT WAS COMING:

What Did Rather Know, and When Did He Know It? (Jay Bryant, September 11, 2004, Townhall)

La Femme Kerry said the other day that anyone who did not support her husband's health care plan was an "idiot," which if true means they are the same cohort of folks who still believe the CBS documents on President Bush's service record are genuine.

As of this writing, the network is said to be investigating the situation. Of course, this is not a real investigation, in the police sense. CBS leaves that sort of thing to fiction, on its CSI programs, for example. What they're investigating is how to minimize the public relations damage.

They have only two choices: they must either be the duper or the dupee. In other words, either someone at CBS was in on the fraud, or they were defrauded by the con artist who passed off the forgeries as genuine.

What did Dan Rather know, and when did he know it?

They were undoubtedly cheated, but they wanted to be cheated, since they clearly failed to exercise even minimal quality control.
