According to Powerline Blog, this was reported on FOX News:

KELLY WRIGHT: Tony, here's the latest that we're finding out on this story. At least three Pentagon sources believe the documents about President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard are fakes. CBS as you mentioned is standing by its story...

It clear, however, that in the CBS document, "Bush's" extends beyond "period". Hence the Selectric could not have been used to create the memo.

Ooooh, what an elegant proof! You don't even need access to an IBM Selectric Composer to see that it could not possibly have been typed on one.

I love that petition. Will the real Neil Parker please stand up? Signer #813, 816, & 834. You gotta read his comments. They're a hoot.

Thanks Sooth, for posting. Lancer, hope this helps.

You're not missing anything. They are missing a brain. MacAwful said Karl Rove did it. (No, I am not kidding...)

[Sooth2222]

Uh oh! Sunday's New York Times .. looks like the MSM has discovered that this really IS a story!

Check This Flash Movie Out

It shows how the documents were created using MS Word 2002

However, there's been no evidence presented that the ANG in Houston ever had the number 34567.

I would really get it nailed down whether that PO Box was actually used . If it wasn't, then there is another forged document at the Marty Heldt Coldfeet.com website...

Could you be kind enough to post a copy of the page in question here on FR?

I wasn't home last night to read this thread but here's my two cents on rita - she's chunky (or as my boss would say, frumpy) - not that that's a bad thing since I have a big, well never mind, I hate her voice, and if I hear her say "my sources tell me" one more time I'm going to hurl! and that's my thoughts on Rita!

With the Selectric, "Bush's" should be 7+6+4+6+3+4=30 units long and "period" should be 6+5+4+3+6+6=30 units long. So they should be equal in length.

This is indirect proof of kerning, something that can only be done by a computer that has knowledge of kerning pairs (or by a professional typesetter). The kerning algorithm for word processing by computer was published in 1981.

You should try typing citations that went along with award recommendations.....original and FIVE manifold carbons (and does anybody besides me remember manifold carbon sets?). If I got it the first time error less, great! But let me make a typo on the first try and it would take me FOREVER to get one perfect! By the last sentence my hands would be drenched with sweat (I mean perspiration since I am after all a Southern Magnolia)..... I worked for a general officer who kept this light thing in his office to put the original on to see if he saw any typos that had been corrected. And no, I did not type sKerry's citations!

[Mudboy Slim]

Yes, indeedy...it's fascinating how Rather is utilizing the "Deny 'til ya die" tactic, he oughtta be admitting CBS's error and begging forgiveness!!
