Not Just Mary Mapes

CBS 60 Minutes II producer Mary Mapes is described by her father as a radical feminst. Her leftist tendencies prompted her to coordinate her attacks with the Kerry campaign and the Democrat party.

But, she's not the only problem. Josh Howard, the executive producer of the show is also a Democrat stooge.

Josh Howard served on the staff of Rep. Stephen Solarz and worked for Sen. Charles Schumer when Schumer was a state assemblyman, a background confirmed by CBS. Federal election reporting records show that Howard, identifying himself as a CBS employee, contributed $1,000 in each of Solarz's last two campaigns for Congress in 1990 and 1992.

When CBS first conceded possible defects in the documents about George W. Bush's military service, Howard said: "If the White House had just raised an eyebrow -- they didn't have to say they were forgeries -- but if there was any hint that there was a question, that would have sent us back."

No wonder Dan Rather feels so comfortable with this crew.
