Proving it

Dan Rather is a lunatic. Here's his comment about his story that Bush was a deserter and a ne'er do well (run seven weeks before the election) on forged documents:

"To this day no one has proven whether it was what it purported to be or not."

You know what, Dan? To this day, no one has ever proven whether it's true or not, as the National Enquirer reports every election year, that aliens have come down and advised the president what to do, either.

Oh, and Dan also says the test (presumably, of good journalism) is whether the victim of the smear has denied it. Sorry, Dan. You're just demonstrating what a hack and a fool you are.
