Go check out this chat! This woman is insane!

I saw her on O'reilly and realized she really is crazy. Too bad O'reilly didn't have the stones to tell her so.
Mary Mapes: The key is that they APPEAR to have been created in Word. That is a parlor trick that doesn't bear close scrutiny. We are preparing two things on the website truthandduty.com which will illustrate this fallacy. One is a comparision between the memos' font and Times New Roman, which was used to supposedly recreate the Word version of the memos. The other bit of evidence is a new exhaustive analysis that shows through wer on the letters that these memos were typed not laser printed.
I saw her on FoxNews 2X yesterday. She sure is a smooth talker.
Somebody check out the Kinko's in Austin.
I heard this woman on local talk radio WRKO earlier today, the woman is clueless and is still insisting she didn't do anything wrong, unfreakinbelievable and she defended blather's actions as well, she can't understand what the big deal is about, no one has proven the documents are not authentic so she is convinced they are authentic and cannot see past her nose on this.
She still believes Bill Burkett! Somebody find a straitjacket for this woman!!!
Her vile ideology won't allow it.
I listened to this deranged liberal fool --- some sound bites of her reasoning behind the forged documents -- her pitch was that the documents had to be REAL because nobody proved to her satisfaction they were not!!! So therefore, anyone can provide forged anythings, and they are valid as long a nobody can prove they are not.
This is a CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THE LIBERAL MENTAL DISEASE!! Twisting and spinning reality into falsehood, and vice versa...totally sick.
I just posted a remark to her; let's see if she answers.
I saw that as well. She kept repeating that the validity of the documents was irrelevant since they supported the truth. The truth as she and her boss Rather and her cohorts at CBS saw it. Unfortunately their 'Truth' is not supported by any facts. This is a prime example of delusion and enlarged ego - A common affliction in the MSM.
Chicago, Ill.: How do you respond to document examiner Emily Will's refutation of your book at: Memo-Gate
Mary Mapes: Haven't read it.
How convenient for her, huh?
Why would ANYONE expect Mary Mapes to respect the truth and tell the truth? That is ludicrous.
Why would ANYONE make that a priori assumption about Mary Mapes? The opposite assumption should be made.

Maybe he thought her disconnect from reality was so obvious that he'd be overdoing it to point it out. At the very least, and with the most charitable interpretation, she's an idiot. She actually said that she'd believe the documents were fakes if she saw proof, which she hasn't seen so far. She said that she doesn't have to prove them to be genuine--it's up to the critics to prove them phonies. Absolutely jaw-dropping.
don't leave us hangin' ...what did you ask/tell her?
"Burlington, Vt.: Do you feel that the mainstream media will be held to a higher standard of evidence in the future due to the prominence of Web logs such as the ones that exposed the documents as forgeries?
Mary Mapes: I think the internet is a fabulaous gift to all of us in building transparency in the mainstream media. It is also a tool for bullying political partisans to club peopleover the head because they pereive bias. Some of the people who attacked me and CBS acted, sadly, like 14 year old boys who had broken into their parents' liquor cabinet. Angry and drunk with power. That is unfair, unproductive and un-American."
I guess she is talking about Free Republic?? This woman is a total loon!!
But not for pilots. Only toward the end of the war (after GWB had been in TANG for over 4 years) were fighter pilot slots in high demand, due to experienced pilots being rotated back home. In fact, the high demand for pilot slots is one of the main reasons GWB was released from his 6-year commitment early.
It's like someone claiming a counterfeit bill is still legal tender because it says "20 dollars" on it. Unbelievable!
Like a bitter middle-aged former highschool football player, forever rationalizing how the dropped pass that cost his team the state championship wasn’t really his fault at all.
I lost the original remark, but it was something along the lines of "You don't seem to be able to accept the fact that you were outted by a bunch of people in pajamas, as Dan Rather described them. Your agenda is showing."
I doubt she will reply........LOL.
Oh, I see she is "done" for the day. Har. Such a surprise, huh?
