The Nation | Blog | The Daily Outrage | Outrageous Outtakes | Ari Berman: "The Poor Man blog has done a terrific job of putting CBS's Dan Rather fallout in perspective, comparing the after-effects of Rathergate with Saddam's nonexistent WMDs. 'Number of firings resulting from investigation? Rathergate: 4. Saddam's WMD: 0.' 'Number of American soldiers killed as a result: Rathergate: 0. Saddam: WMD: 1,357.' 'Number of posts mentioning story on National Review Online's 'The Corner': Rathergate: 10. Saddam's WMD: 0.' We add our own--Number of times the right-wing media have apologized for being absolutely wrong: 0."
