JONAH GOLDBERG compares Dan Rather to Norma Desmond: “Dan Rather has flipped this around. The news is still big, but Rather has gotten very, very small.”

This certainly looks rather small: “Just heard from a very reliable source that CBS is looking into the political donations of document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines, fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, who assessed the memos for CNN and for the Associated Press.”

Two thoughts: (1) This might matter, if CBS were able to find any reputable document examiners to take their side; and (2) Does CBS really want to open that can of worms?

By running the story, they declared intellectual bankruptcy. If they do this, they’ll be declaring moral bankruptcy, too.
