Not since "Rathergate" has
60 Minutes had so much egg on their face (and to be fair, that was
60 Minutes II). In that case, the conservative blogosphere nabbed one of their first scalps. It pretty much put the arch tea-bagger site
FreeRepublic.com on the map. This time, the shoe is kind of on the other foot.
60 Minutes was trying to play
into a right-wing conspiracy theory, and got suckered by a guy who sold them a story that fit the narrative. Interestingly, the
FReeper types still believe the discredited story, in kind of a reverse of the "story is true, but the evidence was fake" theme they made fun of with the Bush National Guard documents of Rathergate. I hope Dan Rather got a chuckle out of this one, at least.
