You couldn’t make this up:
“If the documents are not what we were led to believe, I’d like to break that story,” Rather said in an interview last night.
Dan can break that story right along with the one on the 1937 crash of the Hindenburg.
Update 9-25-04. I was ahead of the curve on this. From Ann Coulter’s September 22nd column:
As of Sept. 20, Dan Rather says he still believes the documents are genuine and says he wants to be the one to break the story if the documents are fake. (Dan might want to attend to that story after his exclusive report on the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.)
And via Wizbang, September 24th:
Here it is:
Note the name of it: “Scaramouche.” Scaramouche is:
A stock character in commedia dell’arte and pantomime, depicted as a boastful coward or buffoon.
Which matches up nicely to Roger L. Simon’s description of Kerry:
Capitano or “The Braggart Soldier” is one of the stock figures of ridicule in commedia dell ‘arte. (I had to memorize them, alas, when John Kerry and I were at Yale.) Actually this figure goes back to Roman times, as does much of commedia, to Plautus and “the swaggering soldier.” So there is nothing particularly new about Kerry in the history of military braggadocio, but it is unique, I imagine, that such a man is running for President of the United States.
