Were you to have tracked down the link, you would have seen several quotes attributed to "terror-terrified Lord Protector John Ashcroft" (as so aptly dubbed by [link|http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/25508.html| Thomas C. Green of the Reg]). No mention of Dan Rather anywhere.
How is it that when ttLPJA's lips move, you think that Dan Rather is speaking?
Hope that pitchfork does not give you blisters....
(oh, and lay off the 'shrooms, OK?)
(I propose to refer to Ashhole from this point forward as ttLPJA. Thanks, Thomas!)
