Rather Will Handcuff Himself To His Set
Rush: We had a caller in the last hour... She was just convinced CBS was going to get out of this by throwing Dan Rather overboard. I said, "You're dreaming, Gwen.
That's not going to happen. Before that happens Rather will handcuff himself to the set and he'll put a bomb, strap a bomb to his waist and threaten to blow up the whole place if they take him out." (See Photo)
Well, the image of Dan Rather handcuffed to the set with a bomb threatening to take out the whole CBS complex if they throw him overboard is inspiring other people to come up with other scenarios.
Like this afternoon...(laughing). This afternoon Dan Rather in a white Ford Bronco driving on the West Side Highway chased by news crews from all the local TV stations in New York, CBS and Fox, and Rather has the bomb strapped on himself inside the white Bronco, and he's on the phone and says, "You have 60 Minutes to meet my demands and give my back my job."
Yeah, this is the next thing. People are going to start laughing at 'em now.
Crackin' Dan Has History of Shoddy Reporting
Rush: It's amazing that this happens to CBS and Dan Rather, because they have become what they hated. They have become what they hated. The cover-up is worse than the crime.
Is this bigger than Dan Rather? We can sit here, we can start making fun of this... and that is the next thing to happen. People are going to start making jokes about it, and they're going to be really funny jokes here and that's going to make the people at CBS even angrier.

CBS In Über-Denial
Update #1:

A lot of new shows premiering this week. CBS has a new news magazine coming out….it’s called "Dan Rather’s Believe It or Not”.
You all know CBS, which stands for "Can't Believe Story”.
There seems to be more and more evidence that those documents about George Bush’s time in the National Guard that they showed on "60 Minutes” might be fake. In fact, on nightline, Ted Koppel said the Kerry campaign put this stuff out- forgeries would be "unbelievably stupid.” You know what this means? Bush is the smart one.

Here’s some good news - unemployment is down to 5.4% but a lot of people are still looking for jobs. If you’re looking for a job in TV, I understand "60 Minutes” needs a fact checker.
CBS News has a new slogan…."it seems real to us.”
The big story this week continues to be these forged documents that turned up on "60 Minutes”. Or, as the Democrats call them, weapons of mass "distraction”!
As I’m sure you know, there was speculation now that someone may have intentionally duped Dan Rather and "60 Minutes” cast by passing them forged documents. Don’t you hate to see these scams that target the elderly? It is wrong!
I think Dan’s getting a little desperate. Like today he produced another witness. This time he brought out "Joan of Arcadia” and she said that god told her the documents were real.
Dan Rather finally acknowledged there are "unanswered questions.” The last time they had this many "unanswered questions” on a TV show, Jessica Simpson was on "Jeopardy”.
