compare and contrast...

... the sound and the fury, signifying nothing:

Dan Rather, CBS News Anchor:
  1. given documents he thought were true
  2. failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
  3. reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
  4. when challenged, launched an investigation, quickly apologized
  5. substance of the bogus documents appears to have been true anyway
  6. cost to the world in lives and money: zero
  7. Bush camp conclusion: should be fired as CBS News Anchor

George W. Bush, President of the United States:
  1. given documents he thought were true
  2. failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
  3. reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
  4. when challenged, stonewalled an investigation, never apologized
  5. substance of the bogus documents appears to have been... bogus
  6. cost to the world in lives and money: incalculable
  7. Bush camp conclusion: four more years!
