Parallels
Nick Confessore at The American Prospect draws a very interesting parallel between Bush and Rather.
Viz.,
-------------------------------------------------------
The parallels are obvious when you think about it, and on many levels. I mean, surely, if Rather should resign because 60 Minutes II got snowed by a source and ran a story on documents that turned out to be fraudulent, than Bush should resign after he and his administration made false claims about Saddam Hussein's weapons programs based on documents that turned out to be fraudulent. Right? Especially since those claims helped get us into a war in which over 1,000 Americans have died. (Rather's mistake was considerably less costly.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Irrelevant sidenote: Is anyone else missing Colin? I'm way too busy to keep this blog going on my own and that guy is like W at a Texas Air National Guard physical.
