First we had rathergate, the forged Killian documents. Who DID write those? CBS won’t say. After being outed embarassingly, Rather STILL thinks the story is true.
Now, we have rathergate redux, the draft. There’s the cached version of the story. All we know about Ms. Cocco is she has protected kids her whole life. The altered version now on CBS changes the story a little:

Now come to find out she’s an activist against the draft. She’s not some concerned mom, she’s the one mom fighting the draft. Why did Rather and CBS feel compelled NOT to inform us of this little bit of trivia? her website is attributed to Jacob Levich, who in 2001 compared Bush to Orwellian 1984, and his Common Dreams Newsletter is decidedly anti-Bush. It seems Ms. Cocco and Mr. Levich have a bind. Could it therefore be suggested that CBS picked someone already known to be anti-Bush, and anti-draft, to do their story? Or, was it an honest coincedence?
Given Rather’s history, it’s too much to ask that it’s just a coincedence. It’s intentional. Therefore Dan Rather, who runs the news at CBS, is my butthole of the day.
And the real irony of this is Mr. Levich’s web page links an article that accuses CBS of pandering for Bush. What a hoot.
