What got bumped for the memo story

How ironic. 60 Minutes bumped this piece to air the now discredited Bush National Guard report:

[T]he story, narrated by "60 Minutes" correspondent Ed Bradley, asked tough questions about how the White House came to embrace the fraudulent documents and why administration officials chose to include a 16-word reference to the questionable uranium purchase in President Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech.
