"It's a FAKE!"
OUCH!
All your fonts are belong to us.
My first reaction was to think this was "a little exercise in creative writing" too. Heck I've still got a few reams of paper so old that I could write up some old documents myself. I'm glad to see an expert is on board that can discredit the Leftie smear attempts. The problem, will the MSM give the refutation claims the same coverage they gave the frauds?
I would like to see what IBM has to say. Surely come lurking congressional staff sleuth could put in a request for IBM to evaluate the memos.
CBS probably knows that they are fake....but what do you expect them to do?? Just because they are fake that shouldn't change their reporting. It hasn't change it before, why start now?

You laugh too hard, you cry, you nervous looking biased shakey twit.
Random thinking here but...
If I was a PA on 60 Minutes charged with creating the digital graphics for this story the following might happen:
After scanning the original documents I find they are illegible digitally. So I retype verbatim screen shot, bring it into PhotoShop, paste, apply a dimestore old XEROX filter, then photoshop out the signature and place it. Deadline met, the stylized graphic for production has been created. In general the networks do not require the actual document be shown, they have often in the past insisted it is ok to display the actual text in whatever format meets their production needs. So long as the content is not changed.
It needs to be confirmed that those images on the web, and in the show are images of the actual documents before this story goes on.

60 Minutes is in series trouble.
Freepers have been vindicated! There ARE conspiracies. Now if we could make similar progress with Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Flight 800.......
---• Next, Dr. Bouffard began entering individual characters in an attempt to match them to the remaining fonts that were available on proportional spacing typewriters of that era, focusing on numbers. Thus far, one character stood out, the number “4.” In the document provided by CBS News, the number 4 does not "have a foot" and has a “closed top,” which is indicative of Times New Roman, a font exclusive to more modern computer word processing programs.
* He looked through old papers he's written, and noted that he's come up against the inconsistency of the "4" several previous times with forgeries that attempt to duplicate old proportional spaced documents with a computer word processing program.---
To Rather: YOU'RE BUSTED DUDE!
The election is OVER and Dan Rather's career ends on the low note he'll be remembered for and rightly so.
Staggeringly good stuff.
The media will report that back in the late 80s Dr. Bouffard's baby sitter's best friend dated someone who knew a nanny that worked for the Bushes.
The story and the documents are still up on the CBS News website as of 3:20pm central time. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the meetings they must be having about this right now.
