ONE MORE ARGUMENT
As much as the Kerry Spot has tried to keep up with this, PowerLine has been on top of this story all day long. That site just presented what ought to be the straw that breaks the camel's back:
In the August 18, 1973 memo "discovered" by 60 Minutes, Jerry Killian purportedly writes:
Staudt has obviously pressured Hodges more about Bush. I'm having trouble running interference and doing my job.
But wait! Reader Amar Sarwal points out that General Staudt, who thought very highly of Lt. Bush, retired in 1972.
Okay, CBS. The ball's in your court. Explain all this. Make all of this make sense. Don't completely ignore all of this, like you just did on the CBS Evening News.
If CBS ignores this, and gives no counterargument, no defense, then the general public will have no choice but to conclude that the network ran with a hoax - and now refuses to retract a lie.

LOL, LOL. Who'd a known, Dan a baby blue Marine.
By all accounts this story went forward on Dan Rather's authority, over the protests of CBS professional staff who had protested that it was poorly researched. Rather has driven the final nail in the coffin of a once respected news outlet. They are so transparently shills for the Democrats now, that CBS news will probably have to cease operations under the terms of McCain-Feingold.
Will Viacom shareholders start to wonder why they foot the bill for this?
Rather must go. Resign Dan.
And by the why - What IS the frequency, Kenneth?
More like the Hitler Diaries,
Well both of those fooled someöne besides the initial gull.
I'm thinking more like the Berringer fossils, or those authentic leters from Cleopatra to Marc Anthony written in French.
I beg to differ, here. There are certainly no balls in CBS' court.
done, thank you much!
That's a sweet quote from DU. Love it.
BTW, I love your new tagline! LOL
