The CBS producer who used forged documents has written a book.

Remember Mary Mapes? She was Dan Rather's producer for the 60 Minutes II episode that used forged documents in an attempt to smear President Bush eight weeks before the 2004 election.

CBS, with Rather and Mapes blessings, told us for days the anonymous source of the documents was "unimpeachable." Then we came to learn what they knew all along: Their "unimpeachable" source was long-time Bush hater and Democratic Party activist Bill Burkett.

Now, Mapes has a book out. David Boyd posts on National Review Online contributor Jim Gehaghty's take on excerpts in the current issue of Vanity Fair (Yes, Vanity Fair is the same magazine on whose cover Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame posed in a convertible.)

With respect to Gehaghty, I think David gets off the best line of the post:

Thank God for Mapes's book. We get to relive the whole glorious episode all over.

Take a look.
