I’m familiar with the 60 Minutes flap over the fake National Guard memos. I certainly believe Rather and CBS News stepped in it over that one; and I believe they were eager to promote a story that was unflattering to the president. Not like there wasn’t any of that going on against both candidates this past election. But that’s not to say I think it was a good thing to do, it wasn’t.
But none of that irritates me as much as the spectacle of puffed-up, self-important, self-promoting, arrogant little prigs congratulating themselves and celebrating the announcement of Rather’s retirement, all the while heaping scorn upon him in an orgiastic ecstatic exercise in self-justification and mutual masturbation.

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Thanks Karl. It seems as though I woke up on the wrong side of the bed again this morning. That was probably a little harsher than I would usually post. In fact, it’s the kind of thing that usually finds its way into “The Cooler” – where most of my more intemperate remarks usually go.
But thanks. Nice to know I wasn’t the only guy feeling that way.
You’re definately not alone man. I wish I had your gift for writing 🙂
