Merging the Two Big Stories of the Week

Upset that he was scooped on the "Batman invades Buckingham Palace" story and determined to rebuild his shattered reputation - Dan Rather decides to do a series of exposes on 60 Minutes II:

Dan does a story on the Shroud of Batman. Rather gets a person who worked in the drycleaning business for 6 months as his "Shroud expert" and Alan Napier who played Alfred the Butler on the TV series to vet the shroud as the real deal. Unfortunately for Dan it appears that the real Alan Napier actually died in 1988.

Rather breaks the story of the heist of the famous painting The Scream. Unfortunately Rather refuses to release the painting to be authenticated. He says it is up to his critics to prove that the painting isn't real. Rather then adds, "Nana nana boo boo" (which he later adopts as his signature sign off line).

Dan then does a shocking expose that purports that JFK had sexual relations with a younger man. Special guest - Kitty Kelly.
