If you weren't an idiot you'd realize that, if this were from the White House, they would have released it a week before the election.

At the risk of being branded a troll, I made a similar comment on another thread. CBS used the documents to try and smear Bush. The White House simply took the documents from CBS and made the documents available to the public. They did absolutely nothing wrong. However, because Bush is the President, he would have known at a glance that the documents were fake (he was there, and knew the true facts of the situation). However, it did give the documents maximum exposure prior to the discovery that they were forgeries.

Many have commented on the amateurish nature of the forgery, but I think this also points back to Kerry or his operatives. Kerry has always had adoring press coverage. His story about "Christmas in Cambodia", which upon even passing scrutiny is laughable was accepted and passed on a factual by the press for years, even though a cursory look should have told them Nixon wasn't President during the time period involved. Kerry used this for years as "the turning point in his life, seared into his memory". It was a total fabrication, and nobody called him on it.

Bush is a poker player. You're already beaten before you know it. The game's over before he gives you "the look."

BTW, that's from his FIRST inauguration.
