re: #84 EmmaAnne

The weirdest thing about Rathergate to me was that Dan Rather never used his (still impressive) resources to find out who forged those papers. I don’t really think he did it himself, except - why wasn’t he pissed off enough to find out who did?

The documents came from Bill Burkett, a guy with a personal grudge against George W. Bush. When confronted he said he got them from a mythical “Lucy Ramirez,” and that he burned the originals after copying them. (Pure bullshit.)
