Dan Rather is finally admitting it.

Drudge reports that Rather is going to say, "We were deceived."

Shouldn't he really say, "We were so excited that were were finally going to be able to stick it to Bush - after years and years of fruitless fishing for documents - that we rushed into a story that anybody could tell was bogus."

Yep, he should.

Then he should follow up with, "So, I retire in disgrace, and promise to never, ever, take a fee for a speaking engagement for the rest of my life, nor will I write a book in which I endeavor to reclaim my lost reputation. So, I say, for the last time, 'If you're disgusted with us, frankly I don't blame ya.'"

Or maybe he should say this.
