Well, you didn\u2019t talk to him about the documents, what did you talk to him about? Why did you take the call? Do you think it\u2019s unusual that an objective, fair-minded journalist from a major network would call you and ask you to talk to one of their sources for a story that\u2019s designed to defeat the president during this campaign? No, there\u2019s nothing unusual at all, and there probably isn\u2019t. But we have friends everywhere, they call us, they ask us to do things, we do it.<\/line> <\/line>This is just stunning. It\u2019s just clear as a bell that the people involved in the left-wing intelligentsia still don\u2019t get it that it is over for them. That Rather has not only taken CBS down the tubes along with all the other people at CBS, but the whole of the so-called mainstream media is going to be affected by this because it already has been affected by other aspects of its behavior. But this is going to tarnish and taint them all because it\u2019s going to give — well, here\u2019s the evidence. This is the evidence that there\u2019s collusion. The notion that there is any objectiveness or objectivity and nonpartisanship in the big media is just blown to smithereens here. And the average American, this is something that\u2019s easily understood, folks. You don\u2019t need nuance, this is not complex. This is as easily understood as the House bank scandal was understood. When you had members of the House able to go to the House bank and write checks for money they didn\u2019t have, the American people understand that because they can\u2019t do it. They get overdrafts and they get cut off, but that\u2019s not what happened in terms of the House bank and the way it was operating in the eighties, the late eighties. It didn\u2019t matter what your salary was because you could go write a check for whatever you wanted whether you had the money or not and the House bank covered it. Well, this scandal came to light, everybody could understand this simple as pie, back-pocket issue. So is this. And the only way you can say the liberal media doesn\u2019t get is you have to believe that they don\u2019t consider themselves liberal. In their hearts and minds they\u2019re not liberal, they\u2019re just fair. And so they don\u2019t consider liberalism to be an ideology. That\u2019s the only way that you can make sense of their behavior in all this, but of course what they think is not really relevant anymore because theirs is a business that relies on public perception, and the public perception of this is clear.<\/line> <\/line>Last night Dan Rather, I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve seen this anywhere else, the Chicago Tribune had an interview with Rather, they published it today. Here\u2019s what it says: “In an interview Monday evening, a repentant Rather conceded it had been a mistake to broadcast the documents. But even though he could not vouch for their authenticity, he said he still did not believe that they were fakes. ‘Do I think they\u2019re forged? No,\u2019 Rather said. ‘But it\u2019s not good enough to use the documents on the air if we can\u2019t vouch for them, and we can\u2019t vouch for them.'” So he\u2019s still maintaining this public persona that the documents are not forged. The documents are not faked. They just can\u2019t vouch for \u2019em. Which means they at CBS still believe this story. Now we\u2019ve got this third — Lucy Ramirez passed off the documents to Bill Burkett at a livestock show in Houston. Hm-hm. Hm-hm. And then Burkett ends up talking to what\u2019s-his-face, Lockhart and Cleland. Now Burkett is suing CBS. He\u2019s lost it all, he\u2019s fed up with all this. He\u2019s lost everything he ever had. Now he\u2019s going to sue CBS for defamation. This is just, folks, I feel sorry for Mr. Burkett. This is what happens when you get in bed with a bunch of shark liberals. <\/line><\/p>\n

In fact, there\u2019s a great larger lesson than even that, and that is, you know, we talked about this. The whole of the left seems to be obsessed with hatred, seething rage at George W. Bush, which is unreasonable, irresponsible, and unwarranted. I mean, to a degree that it\u2019s personal, people that don\u2019t even know him literally hate him and despise him and their seething rage and hatred has come to define their essence. This is what happens to you when you become obsessed with seething rage and hatred. What happens to you is you get involved in things like poor old Bill Burkett did. It was his rage and hatred at Bush for whatever reasons that made him susceptible to believing all this cockamamie bilge that he tried to pass off, that he now says he had doubts about, of course. But there are all kinds of lessons in this, folks, aside from just the journalistic lessons. Let me take a quick time-out here. An EIB obscene profit break is up next. <\/line> <\/line>John Edwards is not the lawyer on the Burkett case. No, not a conflict of interest. Well, yes, there is a bit of a conflict of interest. Edwards would not in good faith be able to sue CBS. They\u2019re his allies, his buddies. That wouldn\u2019t happen, but no, and Burkett didn\u2019t get pregnant and, you know, that\u2019s what Edwards specializes in is, you know, claiming cerebral palsy had — I don\u2019t think Burkett\u2019s got that.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
