#1 Lockhart said Mapes asked him the weekend before the story broke to call Burkett. "She basically said there's a guy who is being helpful on the story who wants to talk to you," Lockhart said, adding that it was common knowledge that CBS was working on a story raising questions about Bush's Guard service. Mapes told him there were some records "that might move the story forward. She didn't tell me what they said."

Fred, this is the oddest part of the whole campaign - repeately we see examples of media members that morph into roles as political hacks and then demand that we ignore their activities. Can anyone explain how she was acting as a producer of a news segment in this instance?

#4 Message to Sumner Redstone: just be done with it and sell the CBS News asset to Soros. He can then register it as a 527 and spin to his and Danny's and MaryMapes' hearts' delight.
