Dan Rather could not be here tonight, so I am taking his place. New documents have been discovered showing that Colonel Killian has been found to have a secret highly experimental word processor unknown to even his secretary. . .

| Likely Bedfellows If it's good enough for 60 Minutes, it's good enough for the DNC. by Stephen F. Hayes 09/14/2004 3:30:00 PM A NEW attack ad from the Democratic National Committee features footage lifted from the much-disputed 60 Minutes segment aired by CBS News last Wednesday and from an interview last February from NBC's Meet the Press. When the Bush-Cheney campaign in February used footage from an interview President Bush gave NBC's Meet the Press, the network immediately demanded that the campaign pull the ad. "NBC News did not, and does not, authorize this misuse of our copyrighted material," the network said in its February 10 statement. "As a news interview program, 'Meet the Press' takes very seriously the unauthorized use of its content for partisan political purposes." NBC lawyers are working on a formal letter asking the DNC to pull the ad. Will CBS do the same? CBS spokeswomen Sandy Genelius and Kelli Edwards did not return telephone and emailed requests for comment. (The smart move, of course, would be for CBS to follow NBC's lead and demand that the ad be pulled or, at least, that the 60 Minutes footage be edited out.) >Will CBS do the same? >Inquiring minds want to know. . . --------------------------------------------------------------- |

| #12 In a related story Karl Rove was seen running naked on the south lawn yelling: "I'm King of the world!" Admit it if you were him you would be doing the same thing about now. |

| #9 How does one make a complaint to the FEC? I mean it's pretty obvious CBS is part of this weeks "Favored Son" attacks. It even sounds like a Rather hit job. Regardless of CBS and NBC claims the DNC is claiming "fair use" So it ammounts to undecalred support of a political party or candidate by a corp. |

| #5 Dear DNC, We are writing to request that you remove our video from your campaign ad. Any time prior to Nov. 3, 2004 would be fine. Your pals at CBS P.S. Can you get us some tickets for the next Dixie Chicks concert? |
