The difference between "Rathergate" and "Gannongate"

CBS and Dan Rather were duped into using documents that were either fake or forged. They didn't do their homework and trusted their sources.

Gannon was allowed into the Press room with the Bushcos knowing exactly that he was using an alias and KNOWING that Talon and GOUSA were Republican tied organizations. They used Gannon and the Swiftboaters to smear opponents. Rather was using documents that he needn't have used because there was ample evidence out there that Bush was indeed AWOL from his NG duties and that he was able to stay away from Viet Nam because of his family ties. It's the difference between facts and fiction!

2. It will be JUST LIKE "Rathergate" if everyone is duped by the fake diary

that will have some kind of revelations blowing up on Democrats though.

Rove is writing it up as we post.
