Andrew Sullivan weighs in on the decision by See BS to keep Rather on at 60 Minutes. Excerpt:

Why on earth is Rather staying on full-time at Sixty Minutes, the show whose reputation he besmirched by rashness and partisanship? Notice the ABC News story barely mentions the memo-gate fiasco. Rather's tenure as CBS anchor was bound to end some time soon. Big deal. A simple question: How can you rehire a man for Sixty Minutes when you haven't even published your own investigation into the journalistic meltdown that he presided over? Shouldn't you wait until you know what actually happened before you declare that someone will stay on full-time? And how long does such an investigation take, for Pete's sake? My bullshit detector just went through the roof on this one.

Update: Sigh. Trying to compete with a guy who reads the entire freaking Internet before breakfast is simply a waste of time. I guess I could go on about the great minds et al, but why bother?
