(1) You must have attained "The Age of Awesome Wisdom" (under 18)? (2) You must think that Hate-vomitus is superior to Reason? (3) Your life revolves around inane Conspiracy Theories? (4) Intellectual insufficiency that leads you to believe that foul language substitutes for brilliant repartee? My FIRST two (2 for those of you who have trouble 'reading' numbers) degrees were in Broadcast Journalism & Political Science. My NEXT two (2) Master's were in Special Education and Educational Psychology. "El Rushmo" is truly legendary in his ability to attract (and HOLD) an audience as well as his longevity! Is it the rather awesome salary that he commands in the free-market system that has most of you with your panties in a wad from jealousy? I spent 41 years teaching metally retarded & emotionally disturbed teen-agers. Why do I read most of your comments and feel that I've gone back into the classroom??? By the way, "TripleKick 6," next time you need an old Combat Medic to take your 6, gimme a shout! De Oppresso Liber Cargo Drop Sends! What’s the requirements for posting here??

It is nice to see how mainstream he has become. People like Rather who are real journalists get their career destroyed for speaking the truth, but having a false document (it didn't seem intentional). People like Rush Limbaugh throw out lies and smears on a Regular basis and get rewarded for it. We are living in Bizarro world. I want to get off this carnival ride.

Craig went to CBS and interviewed people about it and ran into a cameraman who worked the interview. <strong>The cameraman told Crawford he knew the attack was planned because when it came time for the attack, Roger Ailles - who was there off camera - held up a big cue card telling Bush when to attack Rather.</strong> Anyway, the interview with the cameraman put the seal on what Craig thought, <strong>it was an organized planned attack</strong>.
