Where They Stand on the Road They Walk

I guess my new word for the month is "gobsmacked," because that's the term that seems to capture my overall sense of shock at the course being charted by the Democratic Party and its lackey, CBS News in this election. And a similar reaction must lie behind what Gerard Vanderleun expresses through clenched teeth concerning John Roberts' statement that the "first lady offered no proof" of her wild-eyed assertion that the memos used to indict her husband on 60 Minutes last week "were probably forged:"

Evidence, Mr. Roberts? As we used to say in an online conference, 'Yer soakin' in it."

If there was any doubt in anyone's mind about the depths to which Rather and his news organization are willing to sink, this little squib from Roberts should close the deal.

But apparently it won't. And they seem to have commited their souls to the spirit of sleaze as they promote Kitty Kelley's and Seymour Hersch's unsubstanciated accusations in a bid to find someone with less moral substance than Dan Rather. What is it that turns a human into a wraith?
