\nI don’t know whether the documents are factual or forgeries, but it doesn’t look good for CBS (and particularly bad for Dan Rather). You can find more at Blogs for Bush<\/a> (more<\/a>), Instapundit<\/a> (more<\/a>), JustOneMinute<\/a>, PoliPundit<\/a> (more<\/a>, and more<\/a>, and yet more<\/a>), TQP<\/a> (more<\/a>), and Hugh Hewitt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The American Mind has related thoughts<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

Dan Rather’s defense of himself tonight, while probably impressive to shallow observers was far from convincing. Here’s a list of things he ignored, did not properly address, or concealed from viewers. Feel free to send us your suggestions to this live fisking.

Take a peek at the list. Mr. Goldberg calls it The Swiss Cheese Defense<\/em>, but I think that’s rather generous. Swiss cheese has a lot more substance than both the original 60 Minutes<\/em> report and tonight’s defense of same. (Via Instapundit<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
