Even the dumbest democrats stopping beliveing that way before the election.
Hell, even CBS stop holding out hope for that.
Rather retired as somewhat of a self punishment, to lessen the chance of him going to prison for the felony he committed.

Okay. Well, I guess we're at a standstill. If you wish to ignore the truth that's okay by me.
Killian's secretary said the information in the memo was accurate:
"Marian Carr Knox told the Dallas Morning News after viewing copies of the disputed memos, "These are not real," and that "the information in here was correct, but it was picked up from the real ones." She declined to be interviewed late Tuesday, but her son, Pat Carr, confirmed her comments."

Rather was scheduled to retire as anchor for the evening news before the memo thang and would have retired earlier had it not been for 9/11:
"But according to Rather, he starting discussions with his CBS bosses in 1999 concerning when the right might be for him to leave the anchor desk.
"When 9/11 came, all talk of that ceased. For a year and a half, two years, the attitude was: `We have work to do. And we'll deal with it later."' Last summer, talks resumed. Possible exit dates included May or September 2005."
