TOM BROKAW defends Dan Rather, compares bloggers to jihadists, and observes: “I don’t think you ever judge a man by only one event in his career.”

Yeah, I’ve noticed Brokaw, et al., not doing that.

UPDATE: D’oh! It was Peter Jennings with the quoted statement — Brokaw was the one making the jihad comparison. Sorry. I think the point still holds, though.
