Vanity: Killian's ex-secretary came forward last week to corroborate the CBS story
Houston Chronicle ^ | 9/15/04

We have now seen a slew of interviews with Marian Carr Knox, 86, former secretary to Lt. Col. Jerry Killian.

Her story seems to shift with each new interview - and becoming increasingly negative towards Bush.

What's the deal with this lady?

I have an answer, and it is quite simple. It was told to us in the Houston Chronicle today, but it was buried in disjointed paragraphs.

To start out with, Knox contacted the Houston Chronicle herself. They did not find her - she found them. What did she have to tell them last week?

Knox said last week she had not seen the disputed documents obtained by CBS, but was reacting to news reports challenging their authenticity, primarily by countering claims that Killian did not keep copies.

Last week, Knox said she had no firsthand knowledge of Bush's time with the Texas Air National Guard, although she did recall a culture of special treatment for the sons of prominent people, such as Bush and others.

So there you have it. Last week, she came forward to SUPPORT the CBS story against charges that Killian did not keep a personal file.

She disclaimed any personal knowledge of W's time in the Guard - Her only mission last week was to corroborate CBS's claim that Killian kept personal 'CYA" files.

For whatever reason, the Chronicle chose to not run her story last week.

By today, the documents had been completely discredited. So now she comes forward to state the obvious: these documents ARE bogus... BUT HOLD ON... she now suddenly has knowledge about Bush's time in the Guard, and these fake documents really just represent the things that were said in the "real" documents.

Got it now? That's her deal.

OK, I can accept you moving this post out of Breaking News. But did you have to delete my "crime/corruption" keyword??
