The Passion of Dan

In Sunday's edition of Le Show, Harry Shearer pointed out a great irony in the recent crucifixion of Dan Rather. On the day that CBS aired that story about Bush's record in the National Guard, they had been considering a different story about the Yellowcake uranium that Saddam supposedly tried to buy from Niger. So CBS ran a story based on forged documents, instead of running a story about the government's use of forged documents. The network has cleaned up its act and decided to "shelve" the uranium story until after the election.
