Not once in my years at The Onion was our top story of the day trumped by an action by President Bush.

Finally had a chance to watch Jimmy Kimmel’s White House Correspondents’ dinner speech, and it’s pretty good. But nothing will ever touch Stephen Colbert’s 2006 evisceration of W.

Say What Now of the Day: Dan Rather joined George Stephanopoulos today on Good Morning America, where he doubled down on the 60 Minutes story in which he asserted that George W. Bush had deserted the Texas Air National Guard, and which got him fired from the network.

“We reported a true story. I am not at CBS now because I and my team reported a true story. It was a tough story, a story a lot of people didn’t want to believe and it was subjected to a terrific propaganda barrage to discredit it.”

Stephanopoulos asked Rather whether it was possible to know the entire truth without all of the documents.

“No, what story does anyone know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?. But we reported the truth and that is that President Bush — later President Bush — when he was in National Guard service, he was at least AWOL and we had a top general in the Army saying on the record he was a deserter. Now everybody makes mistakes. I made some, President Bush obviously made some. But because we reported that story, they put heavy pressure on the corporate entity and the corporate entity voted.”

Martin Brodeur



Despite my distaste for the NJ Devils (really the entire state) I’ll be rooting for them now that the Bruins are out, solely because of my overwhelming respect for Brodeur and his impact on the position of goaltender, and the game of hockey.

Hi, I'm Chet

Current Babson MBA graduate student, Class of 2013. Alumnus of The Onion. Ardent supporter of Grassroot Soccer. Incredibly proud of Lyme Properties and the Wilder Center. Seriously considering getting a dog.

"Have You Seen My Blog" is a collection of things I find interesting, the documentation of what I'm working on, and the acceptance of my love/hate relationship with the concept of blogging.
