Dan Rather and Marla Maples lost their jobs over that bullshit story. Since you seem to believe it I gotta assume you're a few slices short of a full loaf as well.
Marla Maples?! Give me a break! Marla Maples is a dancer/singer/former beauty queen and divorced from Donald Trump -- she is NOT a journalist, never has been and never will be.

Dan Rather left his anchor position because he didn't verify his sources. That doesn't mean that there wasn't a cozy arrangement with George Bush I and his 1970's Alabama campaign supporters regarding GWB's ability to coast through a comfy non-active assignment at Maxwell AFB In Montogmery, AL -- thanks to a bass fishing buddy in Pintlala, AL and my family relative Arthur Outlaw.

Listen, it's all a "good ol boy" network, compounded by the Eastern Ivy League connections. And if you think any different, you're sadly mistaken.
