"I believe you are right. Brinkley's book goes so far it is laughable. This is a transparent attempt to try to restore a little credibility.

But as I pointed out and anybody can see, it is merely a fig leaf. And, in fact, it is more about discrediting Gardner and reinforcing the unanimity among those who aren't "whackjobs" than anything else."


I have been itching about Brinkley's book ever since that 1 Republican set foot on the stage in Iowa.


"it is merely a fig leaf." But by placing this in Time it is Brinkley who is exposing questions about his own book, no matter if it is to discredit that unexamined 10th witness.

So Brinkley's book needs more scrutiny, based upon Brinkley's own words.

And, Hon, there IS something that smells to high heaven about this "machine" they have put together; they obviously have been working on it since the day the Senate confirmed that Bush was the president in December of 2000.

Talk about rapid response.
