Dan Rather’s latest spurious defense:
“I think the public, even decent people who may be well-disposed toward President Bush, understand that powerful and extremely well-financed forces are concentrating on questions about the documents because they can’t deny the fundamental truth of the story,” Rather told the paper.
“Powerful and well-financed forces.” Ooga-booga! To whom does he refer? Is he implying that Powerlineblog.com, indcjournal.com, littlegreenfootballs.com, RatherBiased, and the rest of us bloggers are being paid to point out the obvious, that there was no proportional font matching the Times New Roman used in the memos in the 1970s?
Heck, Dan gets paid to do his job. We don’t begrudge him that. We’d just like him to do it in an honest manner that doesn’t do harm to America and to his own employer.
This is very funny. One second we’re in pajamas, and the next we’re powerful and well-financed. We could be powerful and well-financed pajama-wearing bloggers.
Dan continues:
“If you can’t deny the information, then attack and seek to destroy the credibility of the messenger, the bearer of the information. And in this case, it’s change the subject from the truth of the information to the truth of the documents.
“This is your basic fogging machine, which is set up to cloud the issue, to obscure the truth,” he said.
Ahhh… okay… then, Dan, why not just admit the documents are untrue, since you say they’re immaterial to your case?
How does that Jedi mind trick go?
“Those are not your memos. Those memos are immaterial to the case. The memos are of no consequence.”
