Look, ol' Dan may just have signed CBS off as a reliable news source. And he may have done so trying to earn a place in liberofascist mythology as the newsboy who did in President GWB. His failing in this will be deliciously ironic, since Dan the Goofball may have to retire "infamously" instead of famously.
The NYT, as well. The NYT is now running the same story. I wonder how long it's going to take before both of those stories disappear from the NYT and CBS websites. The more I look at those memos, the smellier it gets. If even I can figure out that it's a fraud, then they really have some 'splainin to do.
Your original post was cited at Powerlinblog.com, and it was there in the context of an early (if not the first) Internet discovery of the possible forgery of Rather's documents. I think I can renew my congratulations for your fast eye and keyboard...and my thanks as well.
It also seems that these documents may have originated with Kerry campaign staff, too (that's just developing, so we have to see if it is true).
Have a great day!
