That's what I said!

"Like watching a train wreck." Yep, that's what I said, and here's what Tim Rutten of the the L.A. Times says, via Instapundit:

Watching Dan Rather unravel over the past week has been something like watching a train wreck unfold: You know it's all going to end badly, but you just can't look away until you've seen how many cars ultimately go off the rails. Well, now we know, and there's not much left to do but wave at the caboose as it careens over the side. . . .

You'll need to register for the L.A. Times to read it (isn't that annoying? at least it's free) but it's worth it because Rutton has good suggestions on how CBS should have handled this. Everybody makes mistakes; it's how you 'fess up to them and fix them that shows what you're made of.
