My two cents

I must say all this Dan Rather, CBS, forgery fiasco, seems to me, to be very Clintonesque. Clinton perfected how to cover up a lie (he’s had a lot of practice).

First you deny the lie, it’s taken two weeks for Danny Boy to fess up and only after almost everyone agreed that he offered faked documents.

Then you cloud the issue. Clinton’s best example is how the whole impeachment turned out to be about nothing other than a blow job. (This lie is perpetuated by some to this day). CBS and Dan Rather first tried to cloud their issue with “the documents may be fake but are accurate.” They will continue with this nonsense but will add some new twists. Add in some half truths and lies to take attention away from the BIG LIE.

The next step is to call in your willing accomplices in the MSM. This came naturally for Clinton. This is the same kind of garbage Clinton got away with 12 years ago (almost all the time), the same kind of bull-feces Clinton got away with most of the time 8 years ago, the same kind crap Gore got away with 4 years ago because of their willing partners in the Main Stream Media. The MSM’s influence over the masses has been steadily declining over the years. Talk radio led the way and now the Internet leads the way with Talk radio echoing what is on the Internet and vice-a-versa. (This may be what Al Gore meant when he claimed to have invented the Internet.)
They can no longer get away with LIES.

Look for the MSM to lend some support for Dan’s Story although I doubt it will be much. The MSM is still trembling and shaking from the witnessed whip-crack delivered to Danny Boy's Lying Ass by the Blogosphere.

Next you find a fall guy. Dan Rather’s fall guy for now is Bill Burkett. Now Bill seems to be a couple of taco’s short of a full combo meal.

Deny, cloud the issue, call in your brethren for cover, and finally find a fall guy. That worked for Clinton because there was no truth detector out there other than Rush. Even as charming as Bill Clinton is and no matter how much the left adore him, I doubt if he could be elected now. There are just to many people out there in the Blogosphere looking for the truth. He could never get away with what he got away with in the past and without THE TRUTH there really isn’t much to Bill Clinton. But I digress; Dan Rather is not going to get away with this. One, He is not a politician (although he is very political) and Two, his brethren in the MSM are not going to come to his aide as much as Dan hoped and Third, the blogoshpere is on his hind-end. We have new found powers and we are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore.

This track works for those found to be lying, if it does not work out as well as planned and you wish to put your story to bed, just come out and apologize. Then when others come to inquire you can just respond “look we’ve already discussed this to all ends and we have apologized, we have no more to say about ____” Well that ain’t gonna work. CBS has and Dan Rather will offer their apologies today. But this will not put this story to rest. We have an admitted Liberal and Democrat offering up forged documents just prior to the election of a sitting Republican President. "I'm sorry" just is not going to cut it.

It ain't over yet, Baby!
