If you can believe this, Dan Rather is still insisting that his (and Mary Mapes’) National Guard memos—proven beyond all doubt to be fakes—are genuine documents created on a magical super-typewriter in the 1970s that inexplicably was able to precisely duplicate the output from Microsoft Word in 2004: ‘Absolutely True:’ Rather Continues to Defend 60 Minutes TANG Story.

And the media in this country continues to give him a pass for his outrageous, pathetic lie.

UPDATE at 11/7/06 9:52:05 am:

Here’s video of Rather blathering on the elections, from Wall Street Journal Online: Election 2006.
