Jim Schutze of the Dallas Observer, whose writing I normally enjoy, steps in the poop with dallasobserver.com | News & Features | Schutze | Mapesgate | 2005-11-10.
The apparent thesis here is that we are supposed to love Mary Mapes, the CBS producer who brought down CBS news, Dan Rather, and herself with forged documents in a blatantly partisan attempt to swing the election, because she likes dogs.
And, oh yes, because Mary Mapes says the documents aren't fake. That makes how many (leaving out the MoveOn and Democrat Underground moonbats)? Let's see. Ah. One. One person who believes the documents aren't fakes. That would be a good beginning if it weren't instead a bad end.
And the picture that accompanies the article doesn't look like someone who likes dogs, it looks more like a cornered pit bull.
I guess left wing idealism is a really bright light. It must be, to have blinded so many otherwise seemingly sensible people.
