WAITING FOR RATHER: Jeff Quinton is liveblogging the non-news-conference.

UPDATE: This is a statement? Give me a break. [LATER: Reader Joe Woodbury writes: “The best part is the president of CBS news can’t spell! I guess that’s proof they didn’t use Microsoft Word!’] What’s next? This?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Hey, is it just me, or does this look like Dan Rather? (Nope, it’s not just me).

More thoughts on the statement here. And reader Glen Hughes spots some weasel-wording: “Note the memos have officially gone from authentic to ‘accurate’.” And this is funny.

Finally, reader Jefferson Perkins suggests: “Perhaps they should be stripped of their status as a ‘news organization’ for purposes of McCain – Feingold?”

Heh.
