Rather: Blogs Are “Strange and Mysterious”

Dan Rather continues to pathetically attack blogs who exposed his attempt to tilt a presidential election with phony documents: Rather: CBS ‘Doesn’t Want Me to’ Pursue Bush Guard Story. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

In a televised interview with former CBSer Marvin Kalb, retired CBS anchor Dan Rather stated that his network will not allow him to continue to pursue the story of President Bush’s Air Guard service.

“Straight-up, no Chaser, no,” the exiled anchor said when asked if he would consider filing a story about it on the “60 Minutes” news magazine since he continues to believe in it.

“CBS News doesn’t want me to do that story. They wouldn’t let me do that story,” Rather said, declining to elaborate further. [CBS apparently understands, however belatedly, the first rule of holes: when you’re in one, stop digging. —ed.]

Rather also expressed suspicion about bloggers’ role in publicizing CBS’s mistakes in the whole Memogate affair.

“There are some strange, and to me, still mysterious things, certainly unexplained things that happened about how it got attacked and why, even before the program was over,” Rather said, adding that his network was derelict in not “knowing enough of how quickly bloggers could strike.”

Strange and mysterious? Bwa hahahaha! Rather has not even come close to the terrible secret of LFG!
