Thanks for the catty little swipe in this "news" report. Caught my breath on that too. Petty and small. Derek

I see you and Derek just beat me to the punch on this Nadine...Shales was indeed petty and small with that kind of remark....not provable of course...He just was making a cheap shot....Maybe he was out with the protesters today. If CBS does decide to "comedy up the news" with Couric or Jon Stewart or the like, they might as well throw in the towel on keeping the viewers the might still have. It's common knowledge that Bush was a spoiled little rich boy who did not serve with any great distinction, so this story wasn't exactly a blockbuster. It was more a matter of new details
