Rather releases a statement
Drudge exclusive: Last week, amid increasing questions about the authenticity of documents used in support of a 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY story about President Bush’s time in the Texas Air National Guard, CBS News vowed to re-examine the documents in question—and their source—vigorously. And we promised that we would let the American public know what this examination turned up, whatever the outcome. Now, after extensive additional interviews, I no longer have

Barnes and (Ig)Noble

The “my site has been down for 10 hours so I had nothing better to do before football started” Sunday link
I think perhaps I can shed some light on Dan Rather’s motives…
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the UN’s reluctance to impose sanctions on Sudan
Garrett: “Honestly? I don’t know a thing about that, my man. But for $5 I can say whatever you want me to…”* **** update: “…or just spot me a cup of coffee and a cheese danish. That works, too.”
