Bush Whacked.
September 8th, 2004 – 60 Minutes Wednesday & Dan Rather present documents that indicate once President Bush was accepted into the National Guard he failed to live up to the requirements of his service, and received special treatment.
Moments after the documents hit the air, they are immediately scrutinized.
2 weeks later CBS News admits the documents can not be authenticated, this is different than admitting they are fake. An independent review board is assembled to investigate exactly what went wrong.
January 5th, the review board presents their results to Les Moonves – The head cock of CBS.
January 10th, 2005 – CBS News fires 4 people involved with the story, and reassigns a fifth. The four people include the Executive Producer, Senior Producer (2nd in command) the VP of Primetime News and Mary Mapes – the producer of the story.
March 25th, 2005 – Dan Rathers last night as anchor of the CBS Evening News.
May 16th, 2005 - Dan Rather & Mary Mapes are presented with their Peabody award for the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse story reported on 60 Minutes Wednesday in spring 2004.
May 18th, 2005 – 60 Minutes Wednesday is cancelled. The staff of 60 Wednesdays sheds tears, then gets wasted. This is why I love working here.
Yahoo news posts a story about the cancellation and uses this photo of Dan Rather.
This is Dan with Kami from the hit broadway show Avenue Q. Do you know why Kami is special? Because Kami is HIV positive. This disease will kill Kami eventually, just like I feel the Bush documents ultimatley killed 60 Wednesday.
May 26th, 2005 – the staff of 60 Wednesday learn their fate. About 15 of the 80 plus staff are absorbed by 60 Minutes Sunday. The rest are told June 6th is their last day. I shed a tear, but have too much to do in the next week to get wasted.
And so ends my very first job after graduating college. It took me 7 months to get this job. So I will give myself 7 months to get my next. I will take a few months off to concentrate on my dreams, then promptly put those aside again as the checking account starts to scream.
I will end this post with some Irony. Mary Mapes, the woman who found the ‘fake documents’ then produced the story that, as I already stated, I feel pushed 60-W off the fall schedule, has a 6 figure book deal to tell her side of the story. I can’t wait to take a wet shit on that book.

I Rode the Bus
Today is my birthday. I celebrated in normal fashion; Milkshake for breakfast, an educational excursion (Hall of Science in Queens), dinner at Outback Steakhouse and watching a movie where Rosie O’Donnell plays a retarded adult.
With a trip to a hall full of science, one would expect their brain to fill with facts about marvelous molecules, the world of microbes and sound sensations. Not SPO!
What I learned from “Riding the Bus With My Sister” – A Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie Starring Rosie O’Donnell & Andie MacDowell. Directed by Anjelica Huston.
If I were not married, my apartment would look like that of an adult retard, especially the constant presence of donuts.
Retarded people giggle when they eat dirt & finger paint.
Retarded people cope with death by eating pastry on oversized benches under a full moon.
Andie Macdowell is desperate for work. (And looks pregnant).
If a retard cannot hook her own bra, she must have her tubes tied to avoid pregnancy.
Every movie with a retarded main character must have a scene where that retarded main character holds a tiny baby.
Tiny waves at the beach will freak a retard out.
Beth the retard watches Animal Planet. I watch Animal Planet. Therefore I am Beth the retard.
---Keep the fan mail coming!---
