"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Kerry Aide Talked to Retired Guard Officer

NEW YORK (AP) -- At the behest of CBS, an adviser to John Kerry said he talked to a central figure in the controversy [Bill Burkett] over President Bush's National Guard service shortly before disputed documents were released.

Let's see, Bill Burkett didn't come to CBS, as Dan pointed out during this evening's apology(?) CBS went to him. But first, CBS tipped off the Kerry campaign to talk to Bill Burkett. Then CBS was presented with obviously bogus memos with which they ran to air their story bagging on President Bush's TANG service three-some-odd decades ago. A story that could, for some odd reason, damage his attempt to retain the Oval Office come January. Meanwhile, the Kerry campaign was busy at work on their 'Fortunate Son' ads.

How is this legal? Is this legal? WTF

This is making my friggin' head spin.
