 Dan Rather Lawsuit Anyone been reading about it? It was completely off my radar until this morning when it made front page.

...Some of the documents unearthed by his investigation include notes taken at the time by Linda Mason, a vice president of CBS News. According to her notes, one potential panel member, Warren Rudman, a former Republican senator from New Hampshire, was deemed a less-than-ideal candidate over fears by some that he would not “mollify the right.â€Â
