Did Dapper Dan Take A Dive?

Gasp! Could it be true? Could that man who invades fewer and fewer homes every night to spin his magic . . . that towering hero of the media . . . could even he be wrong? Say it ain't so, Dan.

While the American Spectator is hardly neutral, their data is usually pretty good. This morning the Prowler published a story on the genesis of the documents aired on 60 Minutes - they came from the DNC and Kerry campaign.

If this is indeed the case, I can only assume one of two things. Either the Dems decided to let CBS take the hit for releasing what even they thought were poorly-provenanced documents or Mr. Rather was so happy to have something he could pin on Bush he failed to perform even the most modest due diligence.

Either way, CBS is going to take a hit on this and if CBS' source of these truly was the DNC or Kerry campaign, it will be just another nail in the coffin the Dems seem to be building for themselves.
