At The Washington Monthly, Peter Principle blogger Kevin Drum just can’t understand what all the fuss is about.

THE REAL STORY….If I’ve counted correctly, Instapundit has posted 65 separate items about Dan Rather this week — and that’s not counting either the endless updates or the fact that he slowed down today in order to get some dental work done. Over at National Review Online, snarky Dan Rather references have taken over their entire home page today, which includes six full-length articles about Rather in addition to uncounted references on The Corner and the Kerry Spot.

What’s going on? Do these guys really think the Rather affair is that big a deal?

Know what you mean, Kevin. How could “these guys” be so silly?

CBS, one of the largest news services in the world, uses phony documents to influence a presidential election in a time of war. What intelligent person could ever think this was a big deal?
