It Must Really Suck to Be Dan Rather Right Now

There is a possibility that Dan Rather has let himself be duped by pathetic forgeries in an effort to discredit President Bush's National Guard service during the Viet Nam war era. The best summary at the time of this writing can be found on the Powerline blog. We might be watching the process of Dan Rather (and John Kerry, for that matter) learning what the Soviet authorities learned during the 1991 coup attempt: Either get your facts straight or cut off access to the Internet. If John Kerry loses this election, whether or not it is close, it may not be so unreasonable to say that blogs brought him down to earth. Heh.
