Rathergate 2004

You know how parents can always tell when their kids are lying? I hate to say it, but Dan Rather reminds me of my kids, sometimes.

"William of Occam (or Ockham), a 13th century philosopher, summed it up in what is now paraphrased as “given a choice between two explanations, choose the simpler explanation” (or as he said it, “entities are not to be multiplied without necessity”). You cannot assemble a set of assertions about what MIGHT have been possible using a variety of unrelated technologies that existed in 1972, and somehow magically combine them into a single technology that could have existed in the offices of the Texas Air National Guard, used for casual memos, and produced the memos in question that are VIRTUALLY PIXEL-LEVEL IDENTICAL TO THOSE PRODUCED BY MICROSOFT WORD." (c/o Joseph M. Newcomer at http://www.flounder.com/bush.htm) It's a rather long, technical read -very informative!

Kinda makes you wonder what ELSE CBS has been lying about, doesn't it?
