Pissing Match At CBS |
2005-10-31 |
When newly-promoted CBS News president Sean McManus gets around to chatting with Dan Rather about the fallout from his Bush National Guard story, we hope he uses more tact than Mike Wallace. According to sources inside the network, Wallace recently got into a shouting match with Rather after telling the disgraced journo he should have resigned over âMemogateââwhile the two men were standing side-by-side at a urinal. The argument erupted in a menâs room at CBS headquarters in New York, we hear, after Wallace sidled up to his whizzing 60 Minutes colleague of three decades and told him he had just confided to Katie Couric in a Today Show interviewâscheduled to air this morningâthat he thought Rather should have resigned when his underlings were canned for basing the National Guard story on what turned out to be phony documents. âThey were both standing at the urinals when Wallace casually mentioned what he had told Katie,â says the source. âThere proceeded a twenty-minute shouting match in the bathroomâ between Rather and the 87-year-old journalist. It just can't get any better than this. |

#7 (Reports that CBS kingpin Les Moonves has been wooing Couric as Ratherâs replacement on the CBS Evening News when her NBC contract expires in May canât have helped matters.) They have GOT to be kidding. |

#6 Sounds like Wallace was just bragging about wringing some "sloppy seconds" attention out of Rathergate to me. |

#5 There sure have been a lot of schadenfreude stories like this lately, where the lefties, having been defeated at every turn, lash out at each other in bitterness. |

#3 Well I'm quite certain it's smoke. I understand both of them must squat to piss. |

#2 Rather pees? Who knew? I thought he held it all an and spewed it forth during his broadcasts? |

#1 while the two men were standing side-by-side at a urinal Oh, come on. You don't think that an ego as big as Rather's hasn't got its own private executive loo? This sounds like smoke. |
