oh the Hollywood Le.....ummmm...people

Dan Rather is, once again, proving to be a perfect example of everything I find vile about celebrities who inflict the world with their politics.

Dan Rather gleefully slandered George Bush on 60 Minutes, got called on it and left CBS in shame. Now he wants to say he got less and less air time at CBS in an effort to push him out, to placate George Bush. He wants to sue them for it. Excuse me? Since when would CBS, or either of the other major networks, do anything to placate George Bush? All three, along with CNN, do just about anything they can to make him look like an idiot. Granted, he's taken a lot of the challenge out of that effort, but still...the last people doing anything to get on George W. Bush's good side would be CBS, ABC and NBC. I mean, we're talking about the same people who have no problem hanging an "America Loves Hillary" banner behind their newscast.

So of course, in true Hollywood 'deny any responsibility for your actions' (I'm trying very hard to stay away from the 'L' word) fashion, Dan doesn't want the blame for forgetting (is "forgetting" a good politically correct way of putting it? I'd hate to infer that he wilfully or negligently did anything wrong.) to check his sources before he trashes someone he loathes, because he doesn't know the meaning of personal responsibility. He sees no reason to be held accountable for his actions. It has to be someone else's fault. Who can he blame besides himself? Who can he...sue for his ineptness? Somebody needs to be sued, dammit, and he can't sue himself. Suuure...CBS! That's because they were busy placating George Bush, and they did that by forcing Dan out and replacing him with long time Bush cheerleader.....Katie Couric?? Yeah, I'm sure everyone in the Bush administration was dancin' in the streets with that move.

There's a sieve of an argument looking to hold water.
