luxury
I am going to indulge the luxury of imagining that certain people at CBS and the White House are not sleeping very well since Rather filed his suit. I know if I were them, I wouldn't be.
I'll bet there are some very interesting phone calls being made too.
The key to the whole business: *where* did those documents come from? Establish that...and you have Bush and his liars nailed down beautifully.
But it'd be really nice to see a few heads role at CBS, those fucking quislings.
This will be a trial to watch.
It would not surprise me though, if CBS and the White House come up with some kind of face-saving settlement that makes Rather look good, gives him a shitload of dough, and never reveals the reality of Bush's utter lack of principle, integrity or responsibility in his military service.
I always thought the right-wing bloggers knew going in the story was true, and their job was to demolish it. It'll be interesting to see if actualy evidence of coordination between Rove's office and the bloggers ever emerges.
Great piece, Sidney.
