1. Good for NBC! . . . You wanna hear something else that's a bit . . .
. . . sickening?

Mary Mapes, who took the fall behind all that Swiftboat document crap, earned a Peabody for CBS with a story she produced about the abuses at Abu Ghraib.

Talk about a short-sighted network!-- no wonder they're always last, firing their best talent to appease the rightwing gods.

And one more thing: guess which "dishonored" veteran of television news ANCHORED that prize-winning Abu Ghraib story? (But Rather was getting old and his skills were becoming feeble ... so much more feeble than, say, "The Lord is my Shepard" Smith's journalistic skills -- right?)

3. Yes, but that one had to have been submitted way before the other mess.
Someone had to take the fall. Mapes was going down.

But she says the Peabody provides some career context for the later thing, and some vindication, and she's right.
