Yes you're sorry, and......

Dan Rather and CBS issue what may be the lamest apology since Cinton. They were "misled"? A major news organisation with essentially unlimited research capability is "misled" by a paranoid using one PC and his local Kinko's? Spare us, please. Why not just change your name to Pravda and drop any pretense of professionalism and integrity.

Where is the word forgery? Oops, must have been an editing mistake.

As Tim Blair notes, 60 Minutes must be approached by hordes of fraudulent tipsters every year, why did this one make it through? Because tis is the one they wanted to be true, that's why. Rather and Heyward must go.

We can thank Dan for one thing. He stepped on Kerry's oxygen hose justas the campaign was dying. Maybe it was a mercy killing.
