2. They said they would keep after the story until they got some answers.
Looks like they weren't kidding about that.

Good for them.

I'm sure Rather is mightily pissed after that whole "forgery" BS.

5. Sniff sniff.. is that cocaine?
Would you believe a certain pResident snorted cocaine, an ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE, for over 20 years?

I'd love to see that on the evening news.

10. CBS News asked the White House directly to answer the 5 questions.
The White House is still side-stepping.

I think Bush is finally going to have to fess up or look like a major punk in the eyes of everyone paying attention to this.

12. How do we know Bush received an Honorable Discharge?
Have we seen that documented? Is it in question? Dan Rather sort of sounded like he might explore that further.

23. Rather said US News and World Report got one other doc, didn't
mention the second, but didn't seem to indicate it came from CBS. Where did it come from? (where did BOTH come from?)

26. Yes, but
they omitted any reference to Bath. They had the pic of that document up, but the words on the screen only said--"specifically Bush." Why won't they go into James Bath???

I mean it is newsworthy and all, but after the way Bush has been protected in the media, it just shocks me.

29. Next up, Rather needs to explore this "honorable discharge" term.
Edited on Mon Sep-13-04 05:53 PM by Lex
.
I felt almost like he wanted to say something about that.

Perhaps that will be forthcoming this week.

Should we email Rather and explain how the DC Sniper got an "honorable discharge" after all the crap he pulled in the military?

30. Honorable Discharge != Honorable Service
I wish Dan would have pointed out that just because you receive an honorable discharge does not mean you served honorably. The WH and other talking heads keep using that as if it is a trump card.

I think we all know the story of the Washington sniper... assaulting an officer, theft, etc, AND and honorable discharge.

Dan needs to kick it up one more notch...

32. I love it, Rather isn't backing down at all.
Just the opposite he shot back telling them they will continue to dig deeper into it. Now that would be a great lil October surprise.

36. HERE’S “INSIDE SKINNY” ON THE RATHER-BUSH/GOP SMACKDOWN!
Dan Rather is a Texas native. He was born and raised outside Houston and then after completing college, cut his television journalist teeth at a National network station in Houston.

He took on the Bush Family "Texas Mafia"(BFTM) several times in the early 70's, and this current situation is more of the "blood feud" between he and H.W. Bush. Dan Rather is very solid, a real pro, first-class credibility (unlike those flake GOP-ops reporters at Fox), and will NOT back down from a deal that he knows he is right. I/we have never seen Dan do it once in 35 years!

The Bush Family Texas Mafia (BFTM) tries to destroy anyone that takes them on, hell just look at their damn track record. You all know this!

More importantly, we will make some phone calls on this deal, and in particular if CBS “60 Minutes” has something cooking to bag the BFTM on several matters we are aware. We keep hearing "little things" on this subject, plus the Washington Post has been digging on this next deal for over a year.

It has to do with the Bush Family corruption, documents the Fed accidentally discovered at Enron (which was a Bush Family business "front operation"), and Bush's "War Dog" House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Houston) being under a massive Texas criminal grand jury investigation, for fraud, bribery, extortion, money laundering, and criminal abuse of his political office.

The big kicker is Bob “$200,000 donor to O’Neill’s SBVT” Perry (Houston) is involved with DeLay in his criminal enterprise and we mean BIG TIME! Also eleven (11) other BFTM members are involved, in varying degree, including the Texas Governor and other ranking elected State officials, and many of them could go to jail over this deal.

The BFTM is doing everything possible to keep the lid on it, and also get W elected. BFTM needs W elected so he can do Presidential Pardons for BFTM Enron buddies, (Ken Lay), DeLay, Perry, and others that get convicted and sent to prison over this massive criminal enterprise.

That in a nutshell is what’s going on with all the Bush-Cheney-GOP totally outright fraud in their campaign. They don’t have a platform to run on, so the con and fraud game is all they got!

They are going nuts because Rather stuck his nose in it. If you recall Dan Rather has stayed pretty neutral in his reporting on the O’Neill-SBVT fraud scam. We know, what I just delineated, because we are well connected Republicans, have several influential Houstonians in our “Beat Bush” cartel, along with two Houston criminal attorney’s – NKR

PS: It should be noted that CBS is owned by Viacom. 70-75% of campaign donations by Viacom (VIA) executives and its political action committee, have gone to the Democratic Party and its candidates. Just some interest info, nothing else!

PS1: All this Bush AWOL stuff is in Kitty Kelley's book that comes out tomorrow.

37. CBS news is going to be very interesting this week!
I got the impression from looking at Rather's facial expressions that he's enjoying this a great deal. What is it that I've heard about never pissing off a real Texan? Look out *, Dan Rather is gonna smoke y'all out.

It's not sexy, but I'm glad it looks like she's going to cover Neil's software company and its relationship to No Child Left Behind. What a family, looking under every rock for a buck.
