It is a bad thing when people jump to conclusions. i don't care are what party they belong to.
Yeah, I can see this now.
Karl Rove calls up Bob Barnes, top key Kerry major player and says "Hey buddy, can ya do me a favor? I want you to go on TV and say you helped GW get into the TANG after you swore under oath a few years back that you didn't. And by the way, here's some documents I want to give you to pass on to the Kerry campaign. Note how they show that my guy was trying to pull strings to get out of doing his service and avoid having to take physicals. Make sure you hand this stuff over to CBS. Good luck with this mission if you decided to accept it!"
Yep, Bob Barnes is regular Manchurian Candidate, a robot brainwashed years ago by Karl Rove and now this clever ploy by Rove not only removes a major Kerry backer from the picture, it also does explosive damage to both the Kerry campaign and CBS News.
The fact is when McAullife realizes they are caught, all he can do is level a finger at a prominent Republican advisor and go "The intellectual descendent of Nicolo Machievelli fooled me! What brilliance! Boy, is that guy smart or what? What genuis! What sheer elan'! How could he know we wouldn't spot they were obviously forgeries and not use them! Oh, he reads us like a book!"
